<p>This is so great to have so many of us going on the journey together. I tried doing the pm on my iPhone but for some reason it did not work.. Still trying to figure out this site.. I have tried the computer and the site looks totally different to me.. I think I need to start a list of all you girls so I know who to keep in touch with. ONce I figure it out .. I will also pm all with my cell phone and email as I think that may be easier to keep in touch with the "sleeve quintuplets.. "lol I will be in touch soon. Need to get back to work.. lol</p>

Great idea!

NUT .... Is nutritionist...

I am on a veggie and Protein and healthy fat diet now to switch out of my predominant carb burning mode.

Sugar detox has given me quite the headache!

Getting ready for Protein shakes and salads next week..... Not supposed to have any fats and that is what tends to keep me from feeling hunger so I think I will struggle for sure...

Ready to go for it though... The pre-op weight loss is SO important for many reasons ... Just gotta tough it out.

I do not have to do pre-op diet, but I have decided to do it anyways, well, not a liquid diet (sorry @@CurvyCakes ) but just a low carb high Protein diet. Also Portion Control. I do not mind the diet but I quit smoking today, and oh my life, it is hard, all I want is a cigarette :( gots to be strong!!!!!

Hi group!! I see I am amongst many April 14th sleevers!! :)

Glad to see so many of us are on the same date! I was scheduled for surgery this past Monday, so I was a bit surprised that I have less than 3 weeks to go! I am supposed to start my pre-op diet next Friday, although I may start it a couple days early.

Is it odd that I'm more nervous for the pre-op diet than I am for the actual surgery?!

Happy Friday! :)

Hi All... I just had all my pre-tests done last Thursday. I'm going in next Thursday 4/3. Yes, I'm nervous, scared and most importantly excited for this new healthy happy journey I will be entering.

The cons in the beginning preps will be worth it for the pros on the other side.

I have a lot of support and have been reading everything I can to be prepared as much as I can. I'm 52, and hoping to lose 150. My friend did the bypass in February 2012, and is down to his goal of losing 160.. And he regrets nothing. !!

I'll post some pictures before I go in.. And hoping by September I'll be much more comfortable In My new skin and new ways of eating. Will be a mental challenge for me also. I love my food !!!

Good luck to all on the 14 th.. We have made the right choice, first being recognition. !!

Last weekend to eat real food before liquids! Anyone else planning a "last meal"? I'm feeling optimistic about liquid diet at this point. Hope I can keep it up by the end of this week!

      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.
