I am scheduled for June 15. I'm excited but nervous. I have told no one. My family is not supportive of the surgery. I have been planning on this for a few years, now.

I'm happy you've found a place with lots of support here! My family doesn't know. Well most of my family doesn't know. But I figured, it's about being healthy and feeling great about myself. As much as we love our family, we can't love them if we are dead or super sick. They will come around!

Anybody not doing a pre up diet? I barely qualify and my surgeon does. Not feel my liver size will be an issue. I am 5ft 5in and 243lbs

Oh and my date is June 9th!transformationtuesday

I'm not required to do a pre-op but I will at least do a 3 day liquid diet prior to my surgery on the 16th.

I'm 5ft. And 203 lbs.

I'm not required to do a pre-op either but I was thinking of doing a whole 30 a week before so that I could detox from sugar and the liquid detox wouldn't be as bad.

I guess from all I've read on these forums is that it really depends on your surgeon and what diet they like to follow, I am June 10th, and pretty much 2 Protein Shakes my choice of Breakfast, lunch or dinner, and one high Protein low carb meal for 14 days prior, then liquids including protein for about two weeks post, then two weeks soft, then last two reintegrating regular foods, I think from everything I have learned is the most important things to remember is, lots protein (also read elsewhere that high protein leads to faster recovery time) and go lean, hydrate hydrate hydrate, always keeps me thinking "Adkin's diet when I see all the recipes and foods I'm allowed ????

I haven't told anyone about my decision except my very supportive husband. I decided in Dec. To move forward with this and I didn't want to have to explain-justify my decision to my brother, mom, best friends,coworkers or family. Lots of servers never tell anyone! This is for me, not them and I'm sticking by that a week away from sleeve date! Everyone is different...only your heart can answer this for you! ????

My date is Monday, June 15 which is two weeks from today. I started my Protein Shake diet today and go for my last pre op appointment today. I'm anxious for this and very excited for this to really happen. I know this will be long journey, but I have a lot of support in my personal life, my professional life and from the community here on this message board. :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
