May 9th

may 1st. im soooooooooooooo over this liquid diet, although I have become pretty crafty at making the broths more enjoyable. herbs and spices are your friend. also I find that drinking plenty of Protein keeps the hunger and irritability at bay. peeing a lot, but my skin looks great!

Mine is May 8th too.

Lol [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]. Are you nervous, excited?

It is so worth it! I was supposed to be sleeved on May 2nd but they moved it up to April 24th. I was very nervous and excited but am so happy I went through with it. I am down 20 lbs from last Wednesday. I am assuming a lot of it has to do with still being on liquids but still happy about it. The biggest problem right after surgery was the Nausea. Now its the gas pain but gas x chewables are helping along with walking. I am back to work and feeling pretty good. I haven't had to take any pain medication since 7pm the day of my surgery. My surgery was at 11:45am. Good luck to everyone preparing for surgery. You won't regret it!

Hi, I'm May 8th. I'm so excited and nervous. I start my pre op diet tomorrow. I've tried the Tripact vanilla latte shake with almond milk and I loved it. I hope I still like it after surgery. I think my biggest challenge will be not being able to pick up my toddler son. For the most part he's very independent but he's a momma's boy so we always have our cuddly moments where I treat him like a big baby lol. As far as food, I think I'll be good. Although my bf loves to eat, I've convinced him I'll be a cheaper date [emoji6] so that's always a plus lol. Good luck to everyone

So today I signed my consent form and got my surgery date for May 8th. Tomorrow I start my pre op diet and I'm excited and nervous at the same time. It's a big decision but I'm ready for it. Any suggestions? I've tried the Tripact vanilla latte Protein Shake with almond milk and I like it. I hope I still like it after surgery. Would love to hear about everyones experience whether it be pre op or post op.

You are 2 days before me, good luck! FYI my 2 boys are 24 and 16 and they're still my big babies lol

May 8th Sleever here! Soo ready!

Hi I'm a newbie as well, I'm waiting for my call to schedule the surgery. My nutritionist recommended BPI or Isopure which can be found at GNC.

Hi, my name is Yelissa and I'm 29yrs old. I finished my 6 month classes and all my testings. Now waiting for that call so I can sign the consent for a surgery date. I'm so excited and nervous. I have gone back and forth onhaving surgery but I finally decided that this is the best thing for me. I had an accident a couple of years ago in which I broke my knee and fractured my spine. I've had two knee surgeries, have disc bulging, arthritis and joint dysfunction on my spine. At this point I've been told I either lose the weight or get spine surgery. So of course I've chosen to lose the weight because I know that since I've gained weight, I've been feeling more pain. I now have a 2 yr old son so I'm worried about how I'm going to handle recovery and handling a toddler. Has anyone gone thru the same? I'm excited to feel healthy again and of course look like a hot mama. But I am a bit nervous cause it's another surgery. Any recommendations? I hope to make new friends here and wish everyone the best of luck.

Since you are at the beginning of this process, I would recommend three things.

1. Take a good before photograph of yourself, so that you have something to compare to after surgery. Many times we are blind to our obesity. We do not see ourselves. Therefore when the weight begins to drop off rather dramatically, we question if this is really happening. Photographs are a good visualization of our success. Many people carry a before and after photo with them, just to remind themselves of their success.
2. Walk 30 minutes each day, every day until surgery (or equivalent exercise). Walking helps the recovery process go smoothly and minimized the pain levels from surgery. In your case since you had broke your knee and fractured your spine (two knee surgeries, have disc bulging, arthritis and joint dysfunction on your spine) this could be difficult to say the least. So you might see if there is an alternate form of routine exercise that you could do as a replacement, such as swimming.
3. Wean yourself from caffeine and carbonated beverages now. After I gave up my 6 diet coke a day habit, I suffered from a week of severe withdrawal syndrome consisting of severe headaches and body aches. I was miserable. You don't want to combine the effects of caffeine withdrawal with the effects of surgery.

Sounds like we are close in the process. Everything is done for me. I have my final surgeon appointment on April 26th. They will submit to insurance from there and then give me a surgery date. I have a three year old who is my tiny baby still and I'm going to miss picking her up for 6 weeks!
