Me too! I'm scheduled for Valentine's Day! I thought it was the perfect day for me to fall in love with myself all over again!

I start my Clear liquids pre-op diet on Feb 1st. So not looking forward to it but if it means that my insurance is paying...hey, I'm in!

I'm in Phoenix and having surgery with Dr. Fang. Awesome name, right? I will be at Bridges Weight Loss Center. Doesn't seem to be many people to connect with there (on here).

My best friend had this surgery in August 2010 and has been mega successful. I know I will be too! I'm SOOOOO excited!

I'm not sure of my goal weight. I don't even care. I just want to feel good!

I'm very tech impatient so I haven't figured out the ticker yet. The site seems very slow while I'm here at work. Oh, and I teach high school!

Good luck to everyone.

anyone else gain weight since beginning all of this? I started the process in July and have gained weight.

I gained weight after the supervised diet ended. There was a 4month wait for the surgery and since then, the closer I got the more i ate. They didn't give me a hard time about it at the dr's office.

Hi! I'm on 2/12. I had the same thought about being so close to Valentine's Day. :-) I'm in Texas. I was instructed to start the pre-op diet 2/5, but I'm actually starting Monday. I'm out of control and I feel terrible and I would like to lose a few pounds before surgery. I'm so ready to just get on with it! I was banded 5 years ago so I'll be having my band removed and converted to sleeve. I hope all in one procedure. My surgeon seems to think it won't be an issue. I'll be so disappoined if not. Good luck to you!

Shopped for my pre-op diet and got some of the stuff I'll need post-op. Someone told me about Peanut Butter powder and I got some to add to my Protein Drinks. It's really pretty good. It's a lot lower in calories and fat than regular or even reduced fat PB. I can't wait to try it in a shake. I also got a bottle off liquid vitamins/minerals. I was scared, but it really doesn't taste too bad. It's bright green tho. LOL! Oh well, as long as I can get it down, that's all that matters. I start my pre-op diet Monday. I remember what it was like from before I was banded. Not looking forward to it, but am trying to keep in mind that it will help me get to where I want to be. Having my hubby make his famous grilled burgers tonight. The last one for a long time. I'm not sad about that though, I'm just ready to feel better and find myself again.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
