my insurance approved my sleeve surgery in December 2013 but I froze.... I have since decided to move forward and my date is 2/10. I am looking for buddies to take the journey with.

Solea78..... I know the feeling!!! i lost 100 pounds a few years ago and I hate that I am back here again.

I am going to look for the Vitamins...did you get everything at costco?

Yes. I was able to find everything except a chewable Multivitamin at Costco. Im drinking the premier shakes that they have there and bought sone flavorless Protein (I opted for premier brand Harmonized Protein).

In the last 7 days Ive already lost almost 10 pounds...but...Im STARVING! lol

I'm going in Feb 3rd. On day two of liquid diet :/

Hey belladonna,

I'm having surgery tomorrow also. Good luck and praying for a speedy recovery!

so excited to have found all you guys with not only the same surgery month...but same day!!! would love to go through the journey with you guys, support each other and keep in touch!!!

Well our date is coming up in exactly one week! WOW! I am on day 14 of my 21 day liquid diet and have managed to lose 13 lbs so far (I've cheated a few times but have kept the cheats healthy and low calorie). My husband and I joined a gym yesterday. I went to Costco and was able to find everything I needed post op including the chewable multi-vitamin, chewable calcium and sublingual B12. I am ready.... :-)

Its coming up sooo fast! I cheated yesterday by having a couple of bites of pulled pork and absolutely hated myself for it! Its so tough not "eating" & having to still prepare meals for the family. Anyways, Its out of my system now and Im good to go! We can do this! Have any of you picked up any books on weight loss surgery? I know that Im going to have to work on my head to overcome my past eating problems.

Hello everyone,

I had the worst day....I mean busiest day at work today. It just seems the closer the date gets the more I need to get done. I am moving along on my liquid diet. Had a piece of string cheese this evening.....I am hungry!!! but excited to get this thing started.

What is everyone's goals for weight loss. I will make a spreadsheet so we can hold everyone accountable:

Highest weight
