I just found this site today. I am scheduled for August 15.

Awesome. I'm so excited. I hope we can support each other throughout the process as we will be going through the post diet at the same time.

It took me a year or so to make the decision' date=' but now I am committed. I would have it tomorrow if they could fit me in. I go for my pre-op visit on the 30th and start the 2 week pre-op diet. I am SO ready.[/quote']

I would do it tomorrow too!

Hi, I am new to this site as well. I have been reading daily, I have my final visit on the 22nd and get to meet with my surgeon and pick my date! Will be first or second week of August :-) hoping to stay with this group and learn more as I'm getting nervous!

That's great. I feel better knowing that there will be lots of support as we go through this process. I just keep telling myself how good it will be to be healthy and energetic. I feel like the weight is keeping me from living the best life I can have.

Hi, I'm getting banded on the 5th and have already started my pre-op diet a week ago. I'm super excited but nervous at the same time! I found this website a week ago and would love to keep in contact with you all as we start this journey to a slimmer and healthier us! I'm 36 and a mum to two gorgeous twin girls. My starting weight is 399 (ouch! How did I let it get that bad?!?) and after my first week on pre-op I've lost 13. My surgeon has me on 4 weeks of pre-op so 3 more weeks to go!

That would be great. I am 36 also and have 2 sons 13 and 10. I often wonder how I got here in my life. I feel sick all the time and have no energy. I can't live in regret so I am going to move forward! I don't start my preop diet til the week before. You are doing great! I will be here for support.

Thanks healthydnp! You have a great attitude to losing weight. No sense in beating ourselves up for how we got here, the important thing now is to move forward. I'm amazed at how much better my back and energy levels are after losing only 13, so can't imagine how great it will be to be a normal weight again.

I enjoyed my last week of "freedom" too!! I know I'll be able to eat my fave foods again, but I felt like I needed to say goodbye for now lol. I still have my food blender from when my girls were babies and have already put it to good use. I was getting a little sick of steamed green vege every night, so used them to make a Soup with a little stock (surgeon said it was ok). But I'm sure after the surgery it will get a lot more use! :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
