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!!

Finishing up day one of 2 week pre op diet. Actually did ok. los of greens and water. Really like the shakes but always have had ecclectic taste buds!

Nervous and excited. No doubt this is the best tool in my forty years of fat experience. The only thing that has given me hope!

Hang in there!

People here are so supportive!

Hi I am new and I am an April Sleever! I finally received my date today April 29th! I have felt like I did not belong any where until today! So hello!

I do not have a Pre-op diet to follow just nothing to eat the night before surgery after 10pm. He also said don't gain weight. That's it. I was getting all prepared for a diet, but I think I'll go all protein to get my body into ketosis about 4 days before surgery. I guess that's it. :)

I am April 29th too! Congrats! Getting mine done in Seattle (live in Alaska). Day two of my 14 day pre op diet-not too bad! Actually lost a pound from yesterday! Learned one thing from this formum-never trust a fart!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Hi everyone, my surgery date is the 28th at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City, Iowa. Had my pre-op appointment today. Looks like the next appointment is surgery day. I'm feeling pretty excited so far, the nervousness has not set in yet. I am on a 2 week puréed diet. I have learned a lot from reading everyone's posts, thank you. Wishing everyone the best in your new journey.

Thank you you too good luck everyone

I'm on the 21st, can't wait!
