April Sleevers! Where are you at in your Journey?

Hello!! I am looking for some fellow April Sleevers for some encouragement during this time!

Where is everyone at during their new journey?

I am getting my surgery date right after I finish my second Pysch Eval Beginning of April :)

I can not wait! I have already started replacing meals with Protein as suggested by my NUT I had a rough day yesterday after about 2 weeks or a little less of it but today I feel fantastic!!

    I'm starting to add a shake a day to get use to it in place of lunch. Easy at work... I'm going to have a tough time as I'm not a fan of the thick frothy consistency but have no choice!!!

    My surgery is scheduled for Monday, April 6th. I have my EGD tomorrow morning (March 20th). I start my pre-op diet on Monday (March 23rd). I'm feeling excited. I've been working toward this since the week of Thanksgiving, 2014. Everything is happening so fast all of the sudden.

    I'm scheduled for April 8. I start my liquid diet on 3/25. I'm also doing a shake a day like CapeMom to get used to it. I'm having a hard time imagining just these shakes for two weeks!
