I have my date 08/01/2014. This is the second day of my pre-op, diet. I am so excited and scared. I did not understand how fat I had gotten until a saw my side profile in a store window. I been trying to lose weight for the last twelve years with little success. I am ready to get and use this tool for a healthier life. I love my husband and kids. I generally a happy personal and successful. But, being fat will kill me if I do not do this. I am ready and healthiness here I come.

Hi LadyK! I too have surgery on 8-1! I am on 2 weeks of full liquid for my pre- op diet. Hope your week goes well and we will be starting our new journey soon!

Hi! I had a surgery date of 8/1 as well. I was hoping to touch base with others who have/are going through what I am. Are there any major obstacles? Frustrations?

I am thrilled I am down just about 12lbs.

I am unhappy a tad nit (Not much) because I do mentally miss my 'bad' foods.

I have become lactose-intolerant and struggling a tad bit with the awful side-effects of that.

Need to get more walks in...

Any advice? Similar circumstances?

Even if not, encouraging words would be great!!!

Thanks!!!

Just checking in to see how you all are doing this week. I so happy to be sleeved. This has not been easy. I am trying to find soft foods. The best thing has been hummus. fruit smoothies plus protien are also going in well. I have a lot of gas pain still. I have to walk around my office sometimes even in the middle of meetings. It is kinda funny.
