Creating this room for those of us having surgery in August. Welcome!!

I'm 5'5 230 lbs and my surgery is august 12th in boston

Has everyone taken their measurements? My hubby helped me take mine before I started my pre op diet. Can't wait to see them going down! I think this May also be beneficial during the dreaded stalls I have read about! God bless you all in your journey!!

I'm not one for measurements I go by how I feel and how my clothes fit.

I did take my measurments but I want to do it again before I start my preop.

Have any of you taken before pics yet? I was gonna have my mom do them but she's really sick so I sucked it up and asked my hubby if he will. I'm nervous about that tho, I hate the idea of him focusing on my weight lol. Weird I know

My hubby took my pics too. He was real sweet about it but I was embarrassed too.

August 18 here. Lost 65 lbs since June, including the 26 lbs since I joined the Geisinger Nutrional Clinic which is where I will be having my bypass. I have an appt on the %th for preop and to meet the anest.....Oh heck the guy that puts you to sleep. Getting excited, bought Protein powder and a shaker bottle to mix it in. Been told a Sippy cup keeps you from drinking too fast, might have to use my great grandson Matty's cup.

Been fat ever since I can remember. My health became very bad last spring, doc thought I had a silent heart attack. I am so tired of being out of breath when I walk, ore exert myself even a little. Cared for my husand after prostrate cancer treatment two years ago and realized that I have to be healthier to care care of him when he needs me to. Also want to stick around for a while and see my great grand kids grow up.......One due to be born any day now.

Oh yeah 63 years old here Even though I mentally feel about 16 most times

August 5 or 12, I'm supposed to find out for sure in the next few days

Congrats everyone on your choice to take this ride!

I did take measurements and plan on doing it on a monthly basis..And I also had my best friend take before pics. Scary to think I will be havng surgery 2 weeks from tomorrow!!!!

11 days until my surgery! The liquid pre op diet is getting easier for me since I started making my own soups. And I found a protein shake I really like. It's expensive so I only drink one a day as a treat . It's Core Power Light made by the CocaCola company. The chocolate is yummy and the strawberry/banana is good too! I hope everyone is having a good day! God Bless!

Just got my surgery date of 8/11 so add me to the August list lol

My day is Aug 7th. I am a band to sleeve revision. So ready.

Hi everyone. My surgery date is August 4th. Just started my pre-op diet today!

Congrats on the date!!!! So there are quite a few of us - thats wonderful - means we have more people to swap stories with as we go along. I like the idea of learning from people going through at same time!

August 5th RNY here. Taking a couple of days for me. My nerves are working overtime! Excited, anxious, scared, afraid ... Lots of emotions.

I'm scheduled for 8/13th finally. I will be checking in here regularly..
