I finally have a surgery date, yay! It is scheduled for Oct 27. I'm looking for friends around the same date to share experiences, but I welcome any and all input. I am so excited!!

Hi there,

I'm looking at roughly the same time in October for my surgery. I have to make weight at my last dietician appointment next week.

I'd love to join you on your journey!

Any interest in adding a 3rd? My surgery date is a little before yours on 10/6, but I could still use buddies doing this around the same time as me. I'm not really nervous yet, but I did just get my date today and it's slowly sinking in that that is in like 18 days. Whew! I've been at this for about 6 months and delayed surgery for the fall due to work and vacations I had scheduled.

Hi there,

HOW did you lose 51 lbs??

Hi there!! I'm so excited about this I can't even stand it. I'm the most impatient person in the world so I'm trying to keep my mind occupied in the mean time.

Hi there,

My surgery is for the 16th Oct. I'd also love to have people to share the experience with.

Hi there,

HOW did you lose 51 lbs??

I started loosely back in January. I got really serious in April when I did my intro meeting. They told me to eat 1700 calories a day and to get moving. I started using MyFitnessPal to track calories and began wearing a Nike FuelBand every day then also committed to working out 4x a week in any way I wanted - swimming, walking, whatever. I had to change a lot, but figured that would be my life post-surgery anyway. Now though still very nervous like everyone else :-) It's easy to lapse so even now takes work to be on top of it.

jobillandjosh,

You. Rock.

Just sayin'...

[jobillandjosh 53]

I had the sleeve surgery done on 8/18. The first few weeks are rough only having liquids and feeling hungry but now I'm feeling great I'm just 5 weeks out and I'm down 30lbs.

What kind of surgery are you having?

Hello All!! My surgery was October 20. I was n Hosp 5 days. I'm over the burping belching thing. Yes it's a bit rough. I'm not in pain so much as discomfort. My follow-up was November 4. I was allowed to go on to phase 3. However my body seems to want to stay n phase 2. Maybe I'm not chewing enough or eating fast but the smallest amount n I feel yucky. The food stays down but I'm tired n bit weak. HELP!!
