Hello all! If interested, I started us a June 2013 Sleevers group so that we can all go through this process together! Hope you will all join and let's lift each other up.

Thanks,

Museum Mama

I've only told two friends and my sister in law....though I know I'll get support from many friends if I say something - just feel this is a spiritual journey for me. And in time ill tell those that I know will be supportive and besides don't want to jinx anything....lol

Hi everyone, I'm all booked in for 3rd June!! I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I live in Australia in Brisbane. I had my appointment with my dieticion this morning so I'm all good to go for the 2 week pre-op diet. Good luck everyone and it'll be great to talk to each other through this change in our lives!!!!

Cheers Bec

After all we all do what works for us to get the job done, and this is how i chose to do my journey. :-)

My pre-op diet is strictly liquids! That is going to be so hard to do! I'm going to try my hardest to stick to it and not cheat. I know how important it is to shrink my liver for surgery. I am really nervous but very excited!

Hey' date=' Museum Mama! I'm planning on June 19th. I have a 5 day window between summer classes to wedge it in. What's your date?[/quote']

Mines June 19 too!

Thanks for starting this group. I'm excited and nervous but mostly excited. The nervousness is because I've never had surgery of any kind, never been put under. But the more time passes the nerves give way to excitement. I'm so excited to have a tool for weight loss. I'm so tired of the fat!

Mus mama whats your major, i just finish finals...

How fantastic for you!!! You're my hero.

Yes, I did say that. I should clarify that I meant when my son is on summer break with his dad. Lol. So sorry for the confusion.

Aline, you may have seen one of my posts that Healthier2day quoted just above your comment. I am in grad school now, and I'm scheduling my sleeve for June 19th right between my 2 summer classes. I just turned 49, and like you I never had a chance to go to college earlier in life. I started school at age 44, graduated at 48 last May, and went straight into a masters program last August. In most of my classes I felt like I needed a t-shirt that said, "Yes, I am old enough to be your mama!" but it was also a really amazing experience.

Oh u poor bugger!!! If u need a chat just let me know!!! Just really try and stick it out, as u said it's very important. Also it's to rid the liver of fat on the outside as they need to move it and if it's a "fatty liver" it will be very slippery. I'm nervous and excited too! I just want it done so that I can get on with my life and start eating normal again lol
