Hi I'm introducing myself. I'm 24 almost 25 in January 6th. I'm in my preop diet 12th day today. I'm from Spfld Massachusetts. My husband and mom are very supportive and have friends n church members that also are very supportives. I am 5'6" and when I started the program I was 272 then before the preop diet 242 and now I hope I loose from 10-13 lbs... I'm exited for surgery but also A little scare of what I'm about to confront that day. I heard the good n the ugly. But I'm very positive! I'm just happy to communicate with such wonderful people that can understand what I'm going through and that went through want I'm about to do- surgery- for the Sleeve. Suggestions, Ideas, Introductions are welcome... I'm very friendly and open minded ☺ Good luck to all December and future Sleevers and Bypass'

Oh and my name of course is Ivette pronounce like Evette

Hi there! My surgery is the 4th so we are about on the same schedule. I just got all of my 2 week pre-op food today so it's starting to sink in.

Here we go

Welcome Ivette, and congrats on your upcoming surgery!

Hi Ivette, Congrats on the weight you have already lost, that's great.

I just had my surgery a week ago today and I feel great. There really was no scary or ugly moments during my hospital stay or after care. It truly was pretty easy for me.

I hope the rest of recovery and learning how to eat WLS style will be as easy. Best wishes to you & Cindy41 for a smooth surgery and fast recovery.

welcome welcome welcome

love to meet newbies

always room for one more in sleeveland!!

glad you have family support

good that you are aware of the good, bad and ugly

no magic is done via WLS

you work with the sleeve

and it will work with/for you

follow all the rules PO (drinking, Protein, carbs etc)

ask your questions

you'll see many posts/questions that you were wondering about too

listen to all the great advice, experience, suggestions on the board

at the end of the day, only listen to your doc/NUT and me too of course !!

most of us are not in the medical field

so if you have a medical question you can ask us for advice

but call your doc for the final word

lot of hard/necessary work in front of you

that's ok, i see your strength and determination

great attitude too!!!

good luck with upcoming surgery

speedy recovery
