CBBP

Mine too! Excited that it's finally happening.

Congratulations! I know the feeling. I started the process in July and got my date last Friday... It's 16 January. Excited and looking forward to the new me!

I'm Jan 16th! In Switzerland..anyone else nearby?

I finally got my date. January 16th. Can't wait!

I take a teaspoon of magnesium citrate powder in water every evening before going to sleep. It helps me sleep and makes me go very regularly every morning. Also, many people are magnesium deficient and don't realise. Just make sure the powder dissolves completely in the water so it's transparent, this gets the active ingredients working properly.

Just some more information: I'm having the gastric sleeve done, and I live in Switzerland, near Italy. Food funerals: definitely. Mine is tequila. Good thing is, alcohol is off the plan for a good 6 months and then I'll just carry on not touching it. Is there a FB page for sleevers in January?

Hi, I'm scheduled beginning January though I don't have an exact date yet. Very excited that this is finally happening. Glad to find others in the same timing as me[emoji4] looking forward to moving forward together.

Fantastic! Congratulations. And now for the next exciting phases! Sorry to hear hospital wasn't way. At least it's over with! Do keep us posted on how things go!

Fantastic! Congratulations and thanks for the thumbs up. I'm having the GS early January and am looking forward to it now. Can't wait to change.

Congratulations! Good luck on the surgery and let us know how things go! Thinking of you.

Hi Jess, I gave up caffeine some years ago and now only drink decaf which now you really can't taste the difference. I believe decaf is less acidic. Would this maybe help you? Good luck!

I want to have a bath in a normal bathtub, ride horses again, learn to climb those rock walls, go shopping for normal clothes, not be looked at, fit easily in economy on flights, not be the big girl in the group.

Thanks Jess for the tank top and shorts idea. I'm now where you were in the beginning (will have VSG early January) and am excited to see the transformation as I go down this exciting path !

Good luck Mieko!

Fantastic! Great work. Continued good luck!

Oh. Apologies. And good luck! I'm sure you will achieve the results you want.

Hi Starsmore, It was funnily enough my gynecologist who suggested the operation to me a year ago. That started me searching and finding out what it all was about. When I told her in September that I'll have the operation beginning January '18 she was thrilled and very supportive. I'm sorry to hear that yours was not. I hope you can find another gynecologist. No need to stay with someone who isn't supportive. And congratulations on the amazing result! Brava! Big cheers.[emoji122] [emoji122] [emoji122]

Same with me. I just found out I need C pap, have surgery in January and am hoping to get off the c pap once I lose the weight.

Good luck! It will be fine I'm sure. Let us know! I weigh similar to you and need to lose a similar amount. Will be sleeved beginning January. Have only told closest friends who don't judge. One has been sleeved and will help me all the way. Good to have friends.

When is yours?

You look fantastic. I'm so glad you are now loving yourself. Congratulations!

Early January 2018. Anyone who has Gastric sleeve then? I'm based in Switzerland. Would be nice to buddy up virtually!

Thank you everybody for the great support and inspiration and ideas. I'll be sleeved early January 2018 and am now researching as much as I can, reading all your stories and thoughts and questions and answers. Will probably get more and more active on this forum as time moves on and I get closer to the date - and after!

Sorry, to finish, many people are deficient in magnesium and don't know it. Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi mylighthouse, I find that a teaspoon of magnesium in water every evening half an hour before I go to sleep does wonders. You have to stir out and let the liquid become totally clear before drinking, since this ensures that the active ingredients are working. I've been totally regular since I started doing this. It also helps me fall asleep. In fact many people are You can get magnesium powder, or find the magnesium fuzzy tablets. Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app
