September 26th!!!!!

I am having mine in TJ on September 2, too. I will be at the Marriott staying 1st-6th. I would certainly like to meet up and have a "buddy". Love to have someone to compare notes with as we go through this new life change.

I won't be there until the 18th. Would be great to know how you are doing. Hope you find a buddy. I figure when I get there, there will be others walking the halls to meet and then we will have buddies. Best of luck.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Cathy and I live in Saskatchewan, Canada. I am being sleeved by Dr. Alejandro Lopez at Tijuana Mi Hospital on Sept. 2/13. I am staying at the Marriot. I am very excited with a little pinch of nervous. Anyone else out there on this date.

Hi Beth,

September 4 for me and I'm very nervous but not about the surgery about the preop diet I've never been able to stick to any diet I'm not sure this will be any different

I am 7 days in to my pre op diet...atkins induction...I have 1 more week of this and then I go onto a two week 3 protein shake diet with a chicken and salad supper....it is super hard and I feel like poop some days, some days I am soooo hungry, and then others I am rocking it. You gotta pull up your big girl underpants and just do it! It's your life you are doing this for and you have to keep your eye on the prize and remember why you wanted to do this in the first place.

I am September 10th too:) I think there is another on the 10th with us, but I can't find her post! I am definitely nervous about the permanent change, but my fear of not being able to live because I'm overweight overrides my nervousness and fear about the surgery. I am super nervous about starting my liquid diet in just a few weeks. I just keep telling myself what everyone reminds me - keep looking at the big picture!!
