I'm so sick of shakes! I went for my follow up on Wednesday, it went well. I was put on pureed foods then. What are you eating for pureed food? All of a sudden I feel like I don't know what to eat, lol. I'm feeling pretty well though, I think I'll go back to work mid week or beginning of next week. Honestly, I have enjoyed being off and foxusing on myself, I'm a mental health social worker so the break was good bc it never stops at work. What about you, do you work and if so, when do you return to work?

My surgery is on 3/30 also. I would love a buddy to gain and provide support to as we go through this!

Honestly, you don't owe them an explanation, your healthcare decisions are solely yours and whoever you choose to share them with. Best of luck with everything!

I started mine on Friday! The first 3 days were the hardest. My doc's office sells Bariatric Advantage, but the taste was horrible (at least it was for me), so I was told I can use premier or Atkins. Best of luck to you!

Hi SarakNKY, My surgery is scheduled for the 30th, I started my preoperative diet a few days ago, the first 2 days were difficult, but seems to be getting a little better! How's your preoperative diet going? I'm actually from Ohio, but currently live in Texas. I know this is is a difficult journey ahead of us, but we have to stay positive and not allow our past failures to determine or prevent our future successes! I look forward to sharing the journey ahead as well!

My preoperative appointment was on Thursday also. Did you get your date yet? Mine is the 30th

Mickie0130, I understand it gets busy, no need for an apology. Thank you for sharing with me. I start my pre op diet on Thursday which I have to be on for 2 weeks, then it's surgery day! I work in a clinical setting, I do mental health as a social worker so not as physically demanding for me. I'm thinking I'll be out of work for 2-3 weeks. Congratulations on your 50lb weight loss, that's amazing!

Congratulations, that's amazing!

SlimStacey... Good luck to you! Are you getting the sleeve or bypass?

Mickie0130... Thank you so much for that advice! 5 weeks, congratulations. Where you nervous? How did you overcome the nerves? How long were you out from your job?

I'm having mine at Memorial Hermann Memorial City and I'm having the bypass, is that what you had alao?

Best of luck with everything! I'm feeling all of those emotions as well, but like you I need the tool also! Wishing you phenomenal health as you continue this journey!

Thank you! Same to you

Hi Mickie0130, which memoria Hermann did you have your surgery? I'm having mine there too

That's awesome, congratulations! I'm just a week before you on the 30th!

Thank you! Congratulations to you as well! My date is March 30th!

Congratulations on your approval!

Awesome, thank you!

I live in Houston, I'm scheduled for March 30th

So i finally got my approval and surgery date for the end of March! I'm excited and nervous at the same time! Help!
