Hi all ???? I'm Jaysen and was curious to see if anyone has a May surgery date? I think it'd be great to have as much support as possible..

I am scheduled for May 4th. My pre op diet is 2 protein shakes and a light dinner a day. I am to start the diet on 4/24. I'm a bit nervous but also looking forward to the days I can be more active.

Congrats on the surgery date and May the Fourth/force Be With You lol

I saw others say this, I thought it was cute lol

My surgery date is may 26.

It is so scary but so thrilling to know we will be on the losers bench really soon. I keep going over all the clothes I have from my skinny days with tags still on them.. I'll have so much fun shopping in my own closet again soon..

Best of luck to you! I know we will all be so happy when it's done!

Thank you and yes we will be ????

I'm doing my best to enjoy each and every moment in between to still.. I've wished to much of my life away waiting for the day when I finally have whatever it is I'm wanting.

Hi!! My surgery is May 13. I'm still smoking and surgeon won't do surgery if I'm still smoking! I've tried to quit. I'm so disgusted with myself! They will test for the chemical that remains in your system after smoking. I need help!! it's hard to be excited when I'm scared that I can't quit!!

I'm scheduled for May 4th as well! I had cancelled it due to fear and then rescheduled it. I had my mind set on the sleeve, but my surgeon suggested bypass. This site is really helping me to get over my fears. Thank you all for sharing.

@@Sweetjess602 I've been struggling with the same issue. I bought one of those vapor pens or ecigs. I started out with 12mg then 6mg and now zero nicotine. I think it helps me just to see the smoke coming from it. It also helps to do deep breathing exercises as well as remind yourself of the benefits. I'm happy that i no longer smell like an ashtray. lol. You can do it! Don't beat yourself up. Try reading The Easy way to stop smoking. It can help change your perspective about smoking. I hope this helps a bit.

I'm scheduled may 26th! Just found out yesterday. I'm so excited and happy!

I was very confused when my surgeon suggested RNY over sleeve but I talked to 2 of my friends who had the RNY and they both said it was the best decision they ever made and would do it again in a heartbeat. I was a smoker too for 25 years but I knew I had to quit. It has now been 5 weeks I have not had a cigarette. You can do it! If you want this bad enough you will do it, believe in yourself!

I can't speak from personal experience but is it possible to cut one or two out everyday until you're off completely. I'll pray you'll be able to quit.

I thought about one more thing. I used to drink alcohol a lot that it became an addiction. I just went cold turkey because my husband asked me to. Is there someone that you can be a reason you'll quit?
