How are you doing?

Hi I'm from Dallas. Sleeved on 6/26. Getting better every day

June 26

4 MORE DAYS!!!!

Good Luck today! May God's healing grace be with you! Vicki I am having surgery next Monday in Plano, TX

My plan allows one meal a day with a 4 oz protein and veggies. Tuna would be great

I did pretty good during the day. It was when I got home I started to falter. My sweet husband made some grilled shrimp and steamed veggies. So I was good. Now this morning is a little different. I was in no mood for a protein shake but I drank it and a couple bottles of water.

I guess we are in this thing together. Are you all set for your surgery? I think I have finished jumping through all the insurance hoops.

I have the same surgery date. I start the diet tomorrow.

June 26!

My surgery date is June 26. We can be buddies. We need all the support we can get.

Good luck! You can do this!

Hi Debbie, I am almost exactly in the same situation you are. I turned 50 in the Fall and finally made the decision to do the Gastric Sleeve. It seems my health is getting worse every year. I went to my first consultation. The folks in the Bariatric Clinic were amazing. I didn't feel judged. When I left they gave me a list of "to dos". The first thing was to get a sleep Study. I wasn't sure I needed that but I did it. When I got the results I was shocked. I have been diagnosed with Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Basically I stop breathing in my sleep!!! I did it like 97 times in one hour! So I continued with that process and now I am the proud owner of a CPAP machine. It's not sexy but I'm not interested in suffocating myself. I am in my first week with it and it has been quite the transition. There are several more steps to take, but so far I am learning how I have not been taking care of myself. This process is not easy but based on feedback I have received, it is so worth. "You'll wish you had done it sooner". Do this for you. You deserve it.
