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'

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 :)

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.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
