What with the kids in school and being a single Mom, I have to wait to be sleeved. Oh, well, gives me time to build up my leave days!

I am scheduled for 28 December with Dr. Aceves. So far (as of this writing) I'm told there is only one other person scheduled that day. I'm hoping a gang of us will be down there, tho!! If there are no complications, we'll be released a day early, so as not to have to attempt the border crossing and travel on New Year's Eve.

Looking forward to making some new friends - anyone wanna join me??

JudyJudy, Thank you, that will help me stick to this diet I started today. I see the DR on the 4th of January, and that is when he will determine the length of time I will need to diet before he will do my surgery. I really want it before the end of January and I know he has a few available dates. Checked my bp the night I posted and it was pretty high, one time was 150/93 with a 73bpm. Checked earlier today and I am down to 133/87 @70bpm. I am drinking protein/low carb drinks, water and only eating green veggies, sugar free pudding and yougart. I have learned these things on this awesome forum. I really appreciate the heads up. Hope things go well for you from here forward with no more setbacks.

I'm with you!! I have been eating everything I can find. I know I should stop eating so much but I see something & think, "I better get in while I can." I figured I have a couple of more weeks to enjoy the goods.

Hey Marci, I know I've said this before, but....Please be careful about what you eat now. I ate what ever I wanted for about a week, and too

much of it. It sabotaged my surgery BIG TIME. My surgery was canceled

due to my extremely high blood pressure from all the food I was eating.

I had to get on BP meds, and monitor it for a month before I was able to reschedule my surgery. It was SOOO frustrating knowing I did it to myself.

Please be careful!!!!

Judy, thanks for the info. Thank goodness I have been fortunate enough that I've never had blood pressure problems. I plan to cut it off on Monday. Hopefully all will go well. At least I'm not eating until I can't breathe, just eating the "fun stuff".

Thanks for the info. I appreciate any input from those that have been through this experience.

All,

Enjoy your food but just remember that every extra lb you gain is one more you will have to lose. I would rather save my lb loss for the original ones I've been carrying around for years instead of making it a longer process!

I'm curious to see how some of you are doing, 2 year post op!

How are you all doing? We're almost at the three year mark! No one answered me since January

Does anyone know how I can put in my birthday and put that I am "post" op on this app. It's not allowing me to.
