Hey sorry for the late response ?? I’ve been really bad about that lately. But yes I did have my surgery September 14th and I’m officially 40 pounds down fro my highest weight. Thanks for checking on me

Yes I made it through the liquid diet. @J San it was really hard tho. I’m now one day post op now. Feeling much better than yesterday l.

Thank you. I will look into soups. I thought it was just bone broth and I hate that lol

Yea it’s all liquid for 1 week. Atkins ?

Hey guys so I’m on day 5 of my 7 day pre-op diet and ya girl is starving ?? I could literally cry this is soooo hard. I’m tired of Atkins. I just want some food. Suggestions? Help me please I’m about to crack ?

Thanks. Congrats to you too ?

Ok I will check it out now ?

Yay!!! How are you feeling? @wanda247

Thanks ? @GreenTealael

Yesss I can finally start planning accordingly @Letsgetgoing2018

@Matt Z thank you ?

Hey guys so I just wanted to post a little update. Finally got my surgery date 9/14/2018. Exactly one month from today. I’m sooooo excited ?☺️ Anybody else having surgery in September? How are y’all feeling? Let’s start a convo!! ??

@ALFxRNY that worked out really nicely for you. So far everything has been smooth for me too. I hope after I have my last visit with the dietitian and they submit my request to my insurance company it’s really fast.

Hey! Mine is the 19th I’m soooo excited. Of course nervous too lol. I’m just ready to start seeing results and start living my best life haha ? but yea I’m anticipating sometime in August and at the latest September ? I just think the sooner the better for me. I see people talking about small goals they have set, have you done this? I haven’t yet only long term.

Hopefully that’s the case for me ?? if not earlier. But I’m going to keep a positive attitude about it. Thanks for sharing

Yay!! So exciting. We all seem to be pretty much at the same stage. What are some of y’all fears right now? Mine is the pre op diet ?? I did a juice diet a few years ago and I was so sick after two days. Like I felt like throwing up all the time. I hope this doesn’t happen this time.

@saygrace wow!!!! That’s so exciting!! That was fast. Glad your mom is willing to share the day with you lol ?. My last visit is the 19th so I’m hoping the beginning of August. And yes still being able to eat some food is really good. I hope I can do that too

Heyyy. So how are you feeling? Excited? Nervous?

And see for me I have a ton of tattoos already lol.! So I’m hoping my skin will tighten up so they look normal and not all stretched out hahaha. I’ll be at the gym for sure ???‍♀️. I think packing your snacks with you is a great start. I need to start doing that more st work because I tend to go to the corner store next to my job and buy chips, candy, ice cream (yes at work) lol. I have to do better

Hey girl... so yea one of my corncerns has been the clothes thing too. Also loose skin. I’ve heard a lot of people say that for younger people loose skin won’t be such a big issue but still can’t help but wonder. ? as far as the smoking thing goes I’d just look for healthy things to munch on.. like celery. I know it’s 0 calories so you would be burning calories when you chew them. ?It’s just gonna be remembering to eat that once you’re high instead what you’ll probably want. Ppl can be too judgmental sometimes ? forgetting we’re all on here trying to do pretty much the same thing no matter what our circumstances and backgrounds may be ?

@Lora67 that’s exactly what I’m looking to do. I don’t think it should too hard because everyone seems so helpful on here.

when are you scheduled to have your surgery?

Hey thanks for your kind words. I’m having the sleeve done. It should be around August or September and I live in the US.

Hey everyone I’m pretty new to the cite and have tons of questions. I’m 24 (kinda young I know) lol I’m coming up on my last appointment with the dietitian. I’m getting nervous. Anybody going through the process now or went through it recently? I’d love to hear from people close to my age. Any advice, stories, information I’m here for it all ?
