I know there is an October group here somewhere but I thought I would start this off by introducing ourselves!

I'm 25 years old and from British Columbia, Canada. My surgery is set for October 2. My pre op ensure shake diet starts September 2 but I have started a week early for a head start I am

A nurse by profession and engaged but no kids. With my history of PCOS kids will come after I drop the weight. Starting weight: 280lbs Current Weight: 275 and losing everyday!!

On preop diet for 2 weeks today.....sleeve 2 weeks away..... 10/11.....sooo ready. Really enjoying the comments and encouragements! Good luck to all!

I don't know why but I feel guilty. On my pre-op diet I am allowed 1 serving of lean meat and green veggies for dinner only. Well after a week I really needed (wanted) something filling. So I thought it out and sauteed some lean ground turkey, jalepenos, green pepper and green onion and some taco seasoning. I wrapped in lettuce and it was really good. I don't think I actually cheated but I feel like I did.

I start my pre-op Monday. We are sleeve sisters. Can't believe just 2 weeks to go. God bless!

I know..I am marking by calendar like children do for Christmas!!

The liquid diet has not been all bad, I expected worse from reading other posts.. (handling it like the strong woman I AM)

Thanks everyone. Had a honest talk with my wife tonight. After some tears we did hug and kiss. Separation has been hard.

Being able to talk honestly and open is huge. So it sounds like a great place to begin healing.

Thank you and you as well are doing great, I have only been this successful and committed due to a combination of the support, advice and opinions from this forum and fitness pal.

I am really going to stay on too of the diet to make sure I am on target for my bday which is 11-12.

Stay focused and remember "a minute on the lips is a lifetime on the hips" not worth it!!

Hello,

My name is Carla and I just got my surgery date 10/22/12, and I am so nervous. I haven't started my pre-op liquid diet yet, and I have concerns. I like to eat......hence the overweight part. I am new to any type of Forum comunications, I am hoping I can learn a lot and gain some wisdom and helpful tools as I begin this new journey.

Hello, Octo-sleevers! I just finished my last night of work before surgery and I am SOO excited for Monday morning! I am down almost 50 pounds from my highest weight and I am so ready to keep going! I just wanted to pop in and wish you all good luck with the liquid diets as your dates approach. I have been on liquids since (my birthday, of all days) September 9. I have PAT tomorrow and I then all I have left to do is to get up to the hospital on Monday morning. Thank you all for being such a positive support system - it has really gotten me through the last few weeks! <3
