I am Sept. 8, just 4 days away! I am doing great with the preop diet, except for a daily minor headache. I am on day 4 of diet and it's not too bad. The hardest part is cooking good dinners for the family and I don't eat them. I am doing 3-4 shakes a day with a veggie and Protein. Think I've lost 8 lbs. already! Hang in there, you and me both!!!!!

I started my diet today. I had to purchase the bars, pudding and shakes from my doctor's office. I was told to have 4 of the items per day. so I plan to have 2 shakes and 2 bars. I can still have lean meat and veggies. So I know that will balance things out. I pray that I can stay full.

I too am scheduled for September 30th. I have one more test to

complete and am waiting for insurance approval. Needless to say I am

nervous, scared, anxious, ready, etc. I am looking for support also. Even though I am a registered nurse, I am not a bariatric nurse I have done a lot of research and will continue to talk with everyone who has done this surgery. I am a sponge, I need answers. I want to know the whys, hows, etc. I am anxious to go through this journey with each of you.

Good Luck to us all!!!

I was sleeved September 1st and oddly I felt no pain from the surgery. However I had the worst acid reflux and one of my incisions opened today which was scary.

Hey September sleevers!! I'm not schedule until the 26th however, this Sunday I'm cleaning out my closet right now separating all the clothes that I NEVER want to wear again 16-20 and the ones that I haven't worn in years 8-12! Also I purchased a pair of size 6 jeans (my personal goal for my 4"11 small frame) from a store that's going out of business clearance rack $10.00.... I really want to part with shoes too but um.... I'll wait I have shoe sizes ranging from 6-8!!! And that's including half sizes!! I'm excited for EVERY newbie here on these forums!:)

Hello All!

Scheduled for 9/29. I have pre-op on 9/15 and one last psych visit on 9/16.

Went away for the weekend with my hubby and let's just say I had fun (French Toast sticks and a small waffle for breakfast) I don't have to do a pre-op diet really except 2 days before where I have to be on full liquids but after the fun I had I am going to try shakes and a bar as Meal Replacement as well as veggies and Protein for dinner this week so I have a good weigh in for pre-op.

Good luck to everyone! I am especially enjoying the post-op check ins!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
