  1. Well, I will be praying something good comes your way. I hope they tell you you are going to have surgery soon.

  3. Surgery triplets!!! [emoji171][emoji171][emoji171][emoji16][emoji7]
  4. I just had mine on the fifth. Only second day, but still sore. Doing better walking. Doing well with the liquid diet so far. Looking forward to the pureed diet. [emoji16][emoji171][emoji171][emoji171][emoji108][emoji106][emoji7]
  5. Thank you so much. I'm sore still but hanging in there.
  6. I just had mine done on the 5th of April. I'm only two days out, but doing great so far. It's been a life long change, but it's worth it. Can't wait to see what's in store for me!!! Thanks for your best wishes.
  7. Cool. Well good luck with your surgery. I will be praying for you and everyone about to have surgery in April. I'm going to need it too. I had two C-section surgeries. So, I don't know how much pain I will be in this time around. I was in less pain with my my second child. But, it's been well over 25 years since then. Maybe it won't be so much. But, I am close to 50, two years away. But, I'll never know until the day it happens. Maybe we can be surgery twin buddies.
  8. My two weeks diet just consists of 1st week: 1 shake for breakfast; 3 healthy snacks and 2 high protein and low carb meals for lunch and dinner. 2nd week: two shakes for breakfast and lunch 3 healthy snacks and 1 high protein and low carb for dinner.
  9. April 5th is my surgery date as well. Doing the SADI/SIPS surgery. Which one are you having and which state? Welcome to the losers bench. That's the weight losers bench!!!
  10. I'm in Amarillo with Dr. Blue Schniederjan from Panhandle Weight Loss Clinic. Yes, can't wait until my surgery date. I could have gotten mine done earlier too, but I had to pass my cardiac test also. I had blood clots, but I finally passed the test and got my surgery date. So excited. Sorry you had to postpone yours. But, now I have a fellow Texan bariatric buddy that we can talk to going through this together. It will get here sooner than we think.
  11. I definitely will keep you in my thoughts and prayers [emoji120]. I'm sure you will make it through. You seem determined and I like that in a person who's trying to change themselves for the better. Keep up the great work and I will have a talk with my sister about making a change for her health. Good luck and may God be forever on your side. Sherie
  12. Nice to meet you, SleeveApril82022. My surgery date is April 5th. My sister has Crohn's and didn't know if she could have the surgery or not. I asked one of the other surgeons in my weight loss clinic if she was cleared to have surgery with Crohn's, and he said it shouldn't be a problem. But, finally hearing from someone who has it too, I can now tell my sister she is good to go on getting the surgery. Have you asked your dietitian about what to eat during slim time?
  13. I'll be praying for you that you get yours done in April. Where are you from and what surgery are you getting done for your weight loss? Congrats on getting this far pre-op!
  14. No. No revisions. It's my first weight loss surgery! I can't wait! I'm excited [emoji16]!!!
  15. Hello everyone, I just got told today my duodenal switch surgery is April 5th. I finally got my surgery date. It may be a while. But it will be here before I know it. My high protein low carb diet starts March 22nd. Can't wait to get started. Can't wait to get to know all of you. Sherie
  16. I don't know when my surgery date is yet, but I have a TNE appointment today. Then next week I get to talk with my dietitian and nurse practitioner and then my cardiologist. Hopefully after all of those appointments, I will get to get my surgery date. Hopefully at the end of January beginning of February. ??
  17. Hello, my name is Sherie and I'm from Texas. I just got started last month for bariatric surgery. I still have to do the TNE, and see my dietician and psychiatric for an eval. I haven't got a surgery date yet. But hoping for the end of the month or beginning of February. I also have an appointment to see my cardiologist because they found something in my ultrasound. Hopefully it's nothing and I can get approved for the surgery. Getting excited. Can't wait.
  18. I've checked out your vlog playlist on YouTube. Love your transitions on your vlogs. Haven't heard from you in a while. Hopefully I will have surgery soon. Don't have a date yet. But, hopefully in the end of January or beginning of February. Can't wait. Looking forward to it. Let us know how you are doing. Have a great new year!!!
  19. I don't have a surgery date set yet but hoping for in January early February. I will know everything after January 11, 2022.
