Hey everyone. I'm brand spanking new to this forum. I'm scheduled to be sleeved on monday the 2nd of February. I'm so excited! I got approval on a Monday and was scheduled just one week later. I wasn't expecting it to come so fast but they had a cancellation so I took it. I'm on my pre op diet, 4 days in and it's horrible! I'm really not hungry but my brain isn't doing well lol. I'm in a brain fog and this fatigue is awful. I can't hardly type but my brain won't let me sleep.

I've been working towards this surgery for 13 months now, finally!! I'm so close. I've been struggling with my weight since I had my first son. Since he was born I stayed big and can't seem to lose more than 20 lbs. I'm 5'2, 254 pounds as of Thursday. My goal ultimate goal is 140 but I'll be super happy if I can get back to 160. Hopefully I'm posting this in the right group or forum or whatever it's called. I think I can sleep better knowing I can look to this app for advice and support. )

@@Jazmundo Hi there, welcome! I am 4 wks post op. Get ready for one hell of a journey to pure happiness.

I have a document that I have shared with several people that I think it is very useful. I got it from my surgeon and dietician at the hospital. You can download the pdf file and check it out. Even includes shake recipes. God knows you will be doing a lot of that for a while. The link is down blelow. While on pre-op remember to drink lots of water to flush out the chemicals your body is producing while it is burning fat. If not, you will get dizzy and headaches.

Thank you! I'll definitely take a look

Good luck! I'm 9 weeks out and have already lost nearly 30 pounds, which is half of my goal weight loss. And I'm at my pre-baby weight. I had a failed lap band, so I was half-expecting this to be a let-down too, but it's been great!!! You'll be so happy once you step on that scale and see your weight dropping!

I'm so super excited
