Anyone else going to have their sleeve in May? I'm excited and now the nervousness has set in. I am reading a few posts that people are in the hospital for like 3 days. My dr said I would only be in the hospital one day. And that I would walk the same day as my surgery.... Is this something they tell everyone or should I plan on more than one day there? Either way, my life changes May 16th and I'm excited :)

I am scheduled for May 3rd, start the liquid diet on the 19th. I can hardly wait for my life to change. I have 1 more doctor appoint for cardo evaluation then I am done. I was told I would be in the hospital for 48 hours. I am having min in Tucson by Dr Galvoni. I am down 18 pounds in 3 weeks and should be down another 10 by surgery date. :)

I'm on for the 22nd, but not going to Mexico - havng my sleeve done at Abington Hospital in PA. Like you all, so excited. I start my pre op diet on May 7th. There's so much to think about, what foods should I get, when will I be able to drive, and also, I need to go back to work in one week, so how will that work? I'm extremely excited but I'm a list maker and unlike most of my life, this is really new and unknown (at least to me) So, right now, I'm just making sure all the i's are dotted and t's are crossed. Getting my pulminary approval and psych eval, already got my cardio approval and my letter of recommendation from my "regular" Dr, and seen the NUT once a month for all 6 months. It's been a LONG 6 months waiting for my insurance approval but i can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Driving my doctor said about a week for driving, as for work mine said about a month as you are not suppose to bend or lift over 10 pounds as for foods I am suppose to stock up on broth, Protein shakes, Jello, pudding, for the first 2 weeks then add soft foods for 2 weeks then I can try other food but like an ounce of meet at a time.

With the soft food you can try deli meat with a little lettuce. All doctors and nutritionist are different so check with them as to what you should do.

      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
