I have a date of 1/5/16. Like many others, I'm wondering if anyone else is close to having surgery on this date so we can compare notes and try to help boost our spirits if we're struggling. I'd love to hear from anyone!

Yes... I had mine done on 1/6/16. Im down 11 lbs already. The liquid diet is horrible and I cant wait to have real food but I look towards the long term benefit. Hope you are doing very well

Hi everyone! I had my sleeve on Jan 4 and yesterday, I went in for my first post op appointment with the surgeon. I'm doing well enough to come into work for a few hours today... It has been a challenge sitting in an office chair but I get up every so often and move around.

Should have added: I was 244 day of surgery, am 5'9, was in hospital two nights. I had zero stomach pain and feel totally recovered. I also had a hiatal hernia repaired and am a former bander. I've noticed that some doctors are okay with yogurt as part of the "liquid" phase but my doctor didn't say I could have it. I am dying for a FAGE yogurt as I have been consuming one container of 2% per day for a few years. As soon as I am able - I will be back to what I think is a fabulous combo: I put several containers of FAGE in a food processor along with organic carrots, organic almonds, garlic clove, a bit of salt. I have no idea why I love this so much but I do. I'd eat 4 of them a day if I could afford to. I have (or was having) it every day first thing in the a.m. and it gave me multiple hits of good things: antioxidants, Fiber, Protein. Just my little tip. Hang in there everyone - I think the very worst of it is behind us (waiting for surgery).

I had my surgery yesterday afternoon! Currently recovering in the hospital room. Right out of surgery I was in so much pain. Nauseous, tired, dry month, incisions felt awful. I cried and thought about why I put myself through this but in a few hours I was up and walking and I've been walking lots ever since. I feel wonderful and I can't wait to start seeing and feeling my results

January 20th here. I got my date Thursday at my last appointment. "Stuff" just got real!!! ;-)

Hi Bee, I am also having it on the 20th. How are you preparing for it? What are your feelings about it? Mine is more like fear/worry than excitement and this sucks.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
