I was sleeved in March, and my hubby is scheduled for July 28. Just wondering if there are others out there, and how are you doing?

I'm scheduled 7/21 and my fiancé is on track to have it done in Oct. I'm excited to do this journey together

That is exciting! Happy for you both! Keep in touch and let us know how you do.

*imsoglad56 I love your indulgence with chicken and beans! Not to mention Chick fil a! My daughter, who was sleeved, likes it as a treat too.

We are saving at least that much on groceries, maybe more right now with just my groceries.

We have a group of friends that we ate out with once a month, of course that has changed. How have you handled social events like family gatherings, holidays, friends get togethers?

So far, we haven't really had any issues with gatherings. We're both very open about our surgeries, so we don't have to worry about trying to keep people from noticing how little we eat, so that's a major help. Plus, so far no matter whether it's at a restaurant or at someone's house, there's always been something we could eat. It may not necessarily be something we'd have regularly, but for a function like an office Christmas party, I can live with eating a few extra carbs and having a mini ham & cheese sandwich. I just plan ahead of time and do my best to make it fit into my overall daily meal plan.

What you say is so sensible. I think if I'm doing it right 95% of the time, I'll be okay.

I met a friend for lunch last week, and decided what to order before hand. It was fine. I actually ate slower, which is one thing I need to work on. I seem to attack my food like I'm starving...when the truth is I'm not even hungry. Lol

I'm currently working on finding some healthy, easy, high protein recipes. There are a ton of them out there.

• Hubby was sleeved on April 6 and I was sleeved on April 27. I delivered my baby 7 weeks prior to surgery. Hubby has lost 90 pounds total (66 since surgery date) and Ive lost 76 in total (45 since surgery date). So glad we did it. We both still have at least 60 pounds left to lose but hope to be at goal weight by April of 2016,

Wow!!! That's fantastic! And with a new baby to boot. I bet it really helps to be almost on the same phase (or maybe you are) right now the hardest part for us is, Hubby's is on pre-op liquid diet, and I'm on maintenance. It's tough to cook, and have him smell that. Also, I'm excited about new recipes...but can't really share that, as he doesn't want to talk food. Understandable. He can't watch food commercials...but before long we'll be cooking togeher!

You two are rocking it!
