30 something...

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! :)

Im 32 yr old mom of 2 boys (4 and 7) and I live in Iowa. I totally understand not being able to relate to the sleevers who are quite a few years older! I do understand that they have more life experience, but it is nice to see others my own age who are going through this as well.

My husband had his surgery on 1/22 and has lost 40 lbs and 4 pant sizes already! I can only hope to have his success!! My surgery date is 2/19 and im so ready to get this started. I just cant believe it is coming up so fast! Im on a 1200 calorie diet until tuesday and then im on full liquids until surgery day. I have lactose and fructose intolerance (symptoms very similar to IBS-D in case anyone cares) and one of my reasons for doing this surgery is to keep as much Fructose out of my body to limit my reactions. REALLY hoping this happens!

Hope everyone is doing well!
