My surgery was just scheduled for May 21 in TJ at INT with Dr Rodriguez. I am 300 and very ready for this. I am having the problem of being obsessed with food because I am anticipating the pre-op diet. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with this??

[tigerbelle 328]

cinward, thanks for doing that list that we can keep adding to..it is very helpful...I see that May 6 and May 28 are "tied" with each having 4 of us scheduled on that date

John's Girl, I know where you are coming from...what I have been doing is making sure I visit each of my favorite restaurants before surgery; I just eat my favorite menu choice and don't over do it...also, there are a few favorite foods that I want to make sure I enjoy before surgery...also, I remind myself that it will just be temporary that I won't be able to have my favorite foods at all; and by that I mean that eventually when I reach my goal weight and have established healthy eating habits, I will occasionally be able to eat out at my favorite restaurants again...with my newfound habits and smaller stomach, I believe I will be satisfied with 1/2 or less of what I would usually eat at the restaurant itself--then I can get a double or triple treat by taking the leftovers home to enjoy at a later day

I'm scheduled for May 28 in Kansas City Mo. I'm 5'2 and 234. I don't have a specific goal weight under 150 would be awesome. I haven't seen that weight since i was a teenager. So excited

[Aline728 301]

My date just got changed from May 28 to June 18... Just more time to loss more weight b4 surgery, is how I'm looking at it now...

Hello everyone' date=' I wanted to see how many May 2013 sleevers there are! What are you doing at this point to prepare for surgery? What are your stats?

I am scheduled for May 15th. So excited, but nervous!! I am currently 260 and my highest was 268 in February. I plan to get down to at least 250 before the two week Protein diet prior to my surgery. My goal weight is 150 which I haven't been at in about 7 years! I started my journey in January of this year. I was fortunate enough that my insurance approved me without requiring a 6 month monitored diet. I have a good amount of support, didn't start off that way though. First responses were "you're taking the easy way out", so I took them to information seminars which completely changed their views (whew!). I am extremely excited for the surgery because it's a new me. I can completely change my life habits around and start feeling better about myself physically and mentally. When I think back, I've realized my weight has kept me from making friends, going in public, and just plain living life!

I would love to hear all of your stories thus far and how your journey to getting sleeved has been!

Thanks!!

My surgery is set for May 15th also. I haven't had to diet or anything yet. Tomorrow I go to my pre-op appointment and I should find out if I have to do my pre diet 1 or 2 weeks. My weight as of now is 224 my goal is to get to 110-115 . Good luck on your journey!!!

Wishing you the best as well Misslady!! I am going into Brigham and Woman's hospital for an appointment with my Nut tomorrow. I am more nervous due to the bomb threats there today. Boston will also be a mess due to the president being there. I live in New Hampshire and travel 45 min to Boston because i feel that's the best hospital's for care. But nothing is going to stop my process not even terrorist's!!!

Hey Lady, how did the appointment go?
