Any one in their early 30s? I'm looking for a good group of people that chat with. I can't relate to older folks having surgery, as I really think the recovery & life struggles will be different because of age. I'm a 31 yr old mom of 2(5 & 7), live around Dallas & work full-time. My surgery is on Feb 9th. Just started pre-op liver shrink diet on Monday... isn't as bad as I imagined!! I also quit smoking, talk about a complete change in habits!! I look forward to going through this journey with all of y'all! :)

Sometimes older folks are the best to listen to. Just saying......

Struggles, pain, complications are not age prejuduce. But experience is a gold mine. Something to keep in mind :)

I'm 33 with my surgery scheduled for February 18th. Preop diet starts in 6 days. I'm a mom of 3 girls(5,3,1) and live in Michigan. The hardest part so far was giving up caffeine. With the little kids I'm running low on energy.

Hi. Im 33, a mom of 2 and I'm from Massachusetts. My surgery date was January 5. I had no special detox diet prior to surgery. Just shrunk my portion sizes until the day before and then drank carnation all day. Surgery was a breeze for me. I was scared because i had never been under anesthesia before but it was over so fast. The pain was tolerable, the meds made me sick so i just had liquid tylenol. I was in only in the hospital for a day. The post op diet was a slight struggle at first as i worked my way through a few ounces at a time all while still having to cook and feed the rest of the family. I graduated to soft protiens last week and am feeling great. Ive lost 35 pounds since surgery and am motivated to stick to the diet plan and exercise daily. Although, that has been a little tough with 3 feet of snow outside. I wish you luck and success on your journey.

I'm 30 and a mother of twin 2 year old girls. My surgery is February 11th (just 10 more days) in San Antonio w/Dr Gonzales.

I work full time and don't know how my kids are going to handle not being able to crawl all over me. Doing diaper changes with a kicking a screaming kid is a daily occurrence, so wish me luck. My mother-in-law is going to spend the first 3-4 days with us helping out but then I'm on my own.

I'm a 34 yo mother of 3 (9,12,14). I had the sleeve done on 12/30/14 so I am almost 5 weeks out. As of this morning I am down 21 lbs and feeling great. The weight is coming off a little slower than I expected but as long as the scales are moving down I am happy. The first week postop was rough for me. I had a lot of pain and also my dad passed away 3 days after my surgery. As of now I'm felling better than I have in years. It is a huge adjustment for my kids. But they are adapting. It's been better for my entire family.

      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!!

      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...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
