What are July Sleevers doing to pass the time? I have another month left for the end of the year and I don't know what to do. I was told not to start my pre-op liquid diet yet , I have not a clue as to what to do while waiting? I am hearing all these numbers about percentage of weightloss after surgery do you know is the wightloss percentage 30% 50% less or more?

Hey everyone I am a new member as of today! yay! My surgery date is July 30th and I am soooo excited! It has been a long road so I am ready. Pretty much had to jump through hoops to get here! I am super nervous about surgery, anyone else had a tough time deciding between RNY and sleeve?

welcome to the best and most supportive site ever!!!

I am scheduled for July 9, and am having so many of the same thoughts and feelings. Great thread!

July 11th here for my surgery. I'm getting excited by the minute. I am so thankful to have found other July people as well. Ive had a little set back physically. I tore the ligaments in my ankle. So I m not able to exercise right now. I actually will find out this morning if I need surgery. My positive side says nope, no time. :-) I've scheduled my pre-op testing and need to start the Atkins diet two weeks prior to surgery date. I feel blessed to have supportive people in my corner. Thinking of you all.

Yeah it's getting super close. scale was stuck at 657 for 4 days the yesterday dropped to 652. 15 total lost on preop since day after memorial day.

One day at a time. I'm trying to stay off the scale and watch how my clothes fit. Scale stresses me out sometimes. Plus I have this boot on my ankle which weighs about 5 pounds.

After reading the boards for a while, I know I'm one of the heavyweight sleevers to be. I need to lose about 200 lbs.

Any other July peeps in the same boat?

I'm there with you. I'm really wanting to lose about 190 or so. I have to admit though, I cant even remember being 200 pounds less than I am now. I know I was at one point cause I had to pass it to get here. I'm going to judge how I'm doing as I go and see where I am happy. If I'm happy when I get to 150 then I'll stop there but I'd love to be able to say I'm less than half the woman I once was!

I'm in the boat, I need to lose 400+. Currently: 650.

I'm pulling up the rear on July 27 with Ymabme! I'm so excited!

So glad to have a 'sleeve sister'!

Hi Everyone! Thought I was going to be a June sleever but circumstances seem to be pushing it toward July. I go back to my doc on the 19th for follow up from the EGD. He said everything looked good after the procedure so I am guessing I will be pushed to the first week of July for surgery. Sure was hoping for June but no matter what its going to happen!
