Congrats man. You literally look like a different person in all 3 of those pics. If it wasn't for the smile I'd try and call BS. Great job on your success man.

Just tried on a dress that was sized as a med (8/10) and it fit... IDK how but I'll take this win

I wore heels for 5 hrs today, and had no pain whatsoever. I forgot that was even possible!

I read it more as those post that say:
"OMG, I felt a twinge, should I go to the ER?"
"I took a sip of Water with my meal, did I stretch my sleeve??"
"My stomach gurgled, do I have a leak?"

okserrynotserry!
I feel like whatever it takes to keep you in the show is fine by me and we all have different needs. You're just probably more evolved than my little obsessive self. LOL ROFL!

If the next 20-30lbs could strictly come from my love handles, stomach, and back... I'd be very happy.

Well getting to your high school weight is huge!
My surgeon told me to aim for 80 lbs. Now that I'm past that he asked me if I was done. When I said no, he was surprised, and said I looked great. I told him not so much when I'm naked!
I'm 16 lbs away now too, and I know I'm not going to be satisfied there. I'm thinking 130 or so. As long as I don't lose my butt!

Thanks macadamia! I’m really glad you’re doing well. I’m trying to get to sleep but can’t seem to drift off. It’s the nerves.

Im doing pretty good! Got home a few hours ago. Still have the gas pain and incisions are tender. I’m afraid to drink anything bc I’m paranoid about drinking too much or not sipping correctly.

My surgery is sept 26th and I have to start my liquid diet 9/12

How long before surgery do you start liquid diet?
My surgery date is 9/24 but I have my pre-op appointment on 9/19. I have yet to start my liquid diet, they haven't told me to start it.

I am September 10th, also.

I'm September 11. Good luck to you too! Hope all goes smooth sailing this time for you!

I’m wrapping up Day 2 of 7 of my pre-op [clear] liquid diet. Are you able to have Protein Shakes? I feel like that’d make a world of difference for me

Hello fellow September sleevers! 😀
I have a surgery date of September 27th, and begin my pre-op diet tomorrow. Anyone else starting their Pre-op diet?

Thank you for saying so! I appreciate it. I actually have never written it down and re-read it. I have been through a lot but I've survived and now I hope to thrive.

Surgery went well. I will share more about it tomorrow

@macadamia you got this! I am on my liquid diet for 1 week now and 1 more to go. Has anyone experienced leg cramps? Some days it is my whole body. So ready for the 12th.

Yayaya so excited for you!! Praying for a speedy recovery!!

Howdy all!
I’m Jenn and I’m getting the gastric sleeve on Sept 11. This is a revision as I had a completely unsuccessful lap band 9 years ago.
I paid out of pocket for the lap band but the government is paying this time. I’ve been on a waiting list for over 2 years.
I’m trying to keep my excitement to a minimum as my surgery was scheduled for August but was canceled due to “technical difficulties” in the OR. They called with my surgery time and the cancellation of that surgery within 2 hours.
This was a huge letdown and I fell into a dark depression while waiting for a new surgery date.
I’m 42 and have been struggling with my weight since I was 12. That’s 30 years of tormenting myself!! I’m ready for this to work. I’m also ready to work to get it.
Good luck to my fellow September 2018 Sleevers!

Just joined today. Glad to see so many people in September and working so hard.
I'm scheduled for September 18th, a bit nervous, a few doubts, but been feeling better as I read everyone's posts.
Good luck everyone!!
