  2. Congratulations to all mines is on the 13th of June im so excited
  3. Just dont give up, I know it's challenging . I'm starting a week early because I wanna have a good memorial day and finish my last 2 weeks
  4. Congratulations Hannah to you as well!!!!
  5. Thank you for your positivity. That's why I went on ahead and decided to go ahead and do it, I didn't care what anyone thought I didn't tell anyone because I didn't want no one to try to talk me out of it, I want to be healthy, I have a lot of Life to Live and I want to enjoy every bit of it without taking high blood pressure medicines and worrying about is my cholesterol high or wondering if I'm pre-diabetic I can't wait, I walk every day with my grandkids too and from school so I am excited about getting ready for my new Journey.
  6. Hello don't be alarmed my sister at the age of 68 had the by-pass this past Feb and she's doing great and I'll be 64 on the 7th of June and mines will be on the 13th of June. Hopefully that gives you a better feeling
  7. For me im starting at 211 so about 70 pounds, I don't want to get too small because I don't wanna look like I'm sick.
  8. That's great, I must do the lactose because regular milk will hurt my stomach can't wait to start fresh Monday on my 3 week count down
  9. Thank you soooo much I think I'm going to try it my free week which is next week just to see how I do and if it work for me then I'm going to complete my final weeks with it
  10. Thanks for the information, if you don't mind can you post your milk diet. It seems to me whether it's the bypass or the sleeve everyone has a different regiment for the two weeks prior to surgery mine's just consist of two meal replacements 3 to 4 oz of a protein and two string cheeses in the host of liquids the first week and then the second week is all liquids
  11. I wish I didn't have it but I do. First week is 3 to 4 ounces of protein with 2 meal replacement shakes and second week all liquid, well lucky you.
  12. I thought everyone had to do it because it shrinks the liver because they have to move your liver over to get to the stomach from what I read and said it could be dangerous if not shrunk
  13. Awwww thanks for the boost, I'm starting my liquids on Monday I have everything I need except for sugarfree yogurt
  14. I understand I was trying it out and I got a headache that's the only thing that worry be about this liquid is feeling weak
  15. Congratulations to all, I'm excited for all of us, I cannot wait to hear from everyone and I'm glad I'm here as well so I won't feel alone going through this. I'm moving back home to Ohio in July as long as everything go as planned
  16. Welcome Tiffany, yes I'm nervous as heck, I'm ready to get it started .
  17. Ohhhh ok I totally understand now.
  18. You are absolutely right the only thing about this is that liquid diet thing. Can I handle this for 2 weeks prior to surgery that's why I'm getting started, but yeah I've cut out a whole heck of a lot of things preparing for this, breads, pastas none of that I eat, not even soda, and then dealing with it after surgery I wish I can stay in the hospital for a week after surgery at least that way I know things will be done right
  19. Mines is June 13th as well, why are you starting so early? I'm moving back to Ohio after I heal to Youngstown Ohio
  20. OMG was that your choice?
  21. I'm freaking out to, imma start a week early just to get on track to shrink my liver before surgery so 3 weeks early ain't too bad
  22. Just keep your head up
  23. Good luck to all, mines is the 13th of June, I'm very nervous because it's been such a long process an entire month in between my surgery I finished my last module on Apr 11th, I really think my narrator pushed mines to the end because I got smart with her lol oh well
