Hey Everyone!

My name is Katarina, I'm 26 and I live in Minnesota! Just met with my surgeon today to schedule my VSG! I chose Tuesday, September 2nd, the day after Labor Day! My pre-op liquid diet starts Saturday, August 23rd. Wondering if anyone else is having surgery on or around this date? I would LOVE to have a surgery buddy! Someone who is going through what I am, when I am, so we can help each other out! Also, if anyone has an Instagram, my user name is liberianne_gal. I follow tons of amazing men and women who have went through Weight Loss Surgery and have fantastic stories! Can't wait to create my own!

Hope to talk to some of you soon!

Katarina :D

Hey to my fellow September Sleevers from Canada. I'll be heading to Juarez, Mexico for my sleeve surgery scheduled for September 24th!

I know it's a ways to go yet, but everything has been brought together so quickly. I'm heading to Newfoundland for a 2 week vacation, then Sept 8th I start my pre-op diet. My surgeon doesn't use a liquid diet, but I'll be eating as much Protein as I can and limit my net carbs to 50 gr/day. I'll think about all of that when I get back from holidays.

Good luck to everyone, can't wait to keep up on all of you who are having your surgery before I do.

Hello All.,

My surgery is scheduled for September 17 and I can't wait! I was approved for my surgery on Tuesday, and it seems like September is so far away. lol I have my pre-op appointment and pre-admission testing on August 28th. My surgeon is not requiring a pre-op diet. I would love to chat and have some sleeve buddies!!!

Well, based on some pre surgery recommendations and people being out at work, it looks like I'm doing the beginning of September for my surgery time. I'm still waiting for final insurance approval (crossing fingers). I was actually thinking I might do my birthday, September 2.

My surgery is September 13th. Perhaps we could all be buddies? The time feels like it is going by so slowly but I know my pre-op diet will be here soon. I have altered my eating getting ready so I am not giving up sugar and caffeine at the same time. I am mostly looking to be healthier and being thinner will be an added bonus. Here's to all of us September Sleevers!

I don't get it? My surgery is August 26, 2014. My Dr has said nothing about pre-op dieting? All I have to do is have clear lliquids the day before surgery. But I guess it would not hurt to try to go on Protein shakes as Meal Replacements?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
