TTgirl, just saw this, hope you have a smooth recovery time. Dr. Almanza is great.

I only did the diet for 6 or 7 days as I got a surgery date really quickly when I called. It did not matter for me. Everyone is different. do not worry about the pre surgery nerves. TOTALLY normal. Plus, once you get to the clinic, they will give you a "calm down" chill pill. LOL. I had to wait all day my surgery was not until 5 P.M. and I mostly slept, I tried to watch TV or read, but, just kept dozing off. My husband was with me he was amazed at how calm I was, then he figured out it was the drugs. He tried to get Dr. Betencourt to give him a RX of what ever it was for me for later. ha ha funny man. They really take great care of you.

You are on your journey to a whole new world. You are going to love the nu u.

Breathe deeply, let go, smile at the world to come. Be patient. Post often. We are all here for you. God Bless.

Congrats and good luck!! You will do so well, the sleeve really is easy to live with! Who are you having surgery with?

It is normal for some sureons to require only a few days for liquids, some require weeks. I only had to do 3 days, which is just fine with me!!

Good luck, and keep us posted!! We care!

Well, really, Dr. Almanza did it ;-). I returned home just a few hours ago and going through a variety of emotions. Just posting to say thank you to those of you who wished me well and offered encouragement. Melissa answered my million questions to the last few moments before surgery. Dr. Almanza is obviously very knowedgeable and also very personable - I had no second thoughts after I met him. Dr. Betancourt was warm and his visit eased some of the pre-op jitters. Janet is a wealth of knowledge and very supportive. The recovery house is really lovely and an excellent environment for recovery. The nurses, drivers and support staff were helpful and pleasant - language restrictions notwithstanding. All in all in good experience. Tired now but details to follow. Thanks again for the support. I will certainly need to draw upon the collective wisdom as I move toward my goals.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
