Hello Everyone,

Well first of all I would like to thank my Dr's offce for introducing me to these websites I am hoping to have my surgery in October and if everything goes according to plan it will happen......I been on my diet for a month and lost 7 lbs, it doesn't sound like much but to me it is because I was at a standstill in my weight. I am just keeping focused and trying very hard to be good and not eat what I shouldn't which is hard but I know I have to stay positive because this is my health I am talking about!! I want to be around for as long as the Lord lets me but also enjoying doing activities that I could not before. So good luck to all who will be having the surgery before me.....

Hello, new. Having sleeve 2nd week of October. I'm self pay and from the uk. I've just been told to go on a low fat diet but that's it. I'm vegetarian so am wondering how to get all the Protein in after sleeve and a bit worried about my hair.

Anyway hello!

That's great!!! We can do this!!!!

Chub - I have my surgery on the 9th too. Seems a way off and very close at the same time.

I hope to be sleeved in October also. So far, I have had all the tests except the endoscopy and colonoscopy. I haven't gotten all the results yet, but I'm expecting to be cleared (always the optimist!). I have 2 more visits with the team, one 8/19 and one 9/23, where they will weigh me (I needed 3 months of supervised weight loss). I'm hoping that they will send my paperwork in for approval after that last appointment.

I can't wait to get this done! Looking forward to sharing the journey with you all.

Chubtastic and Nurselori, I am also having surgery in Mexico with dr Rodriguez on October 24. Exactly 11 weeks from today. Using that time to get ready by learning new eating habits and trying to remember to sip water all day long. The water part is hard for me, so I've got to work on that.

Yes that's a tough one. For me it's about drinking water to begin with. I am addicted to diet soda. Breaking that habit now. October will be here before we know it!!!

Best of luck to everyone! My operation date is October 6th 2014, so excited. Feels like forever away, hopefully it'll go quick!
