We are all gonna rock this together :) Glad you got a date scheduled Canada. I have to go in and do one more blood test on the 17th and start my pre-op diet the 24th and have a meeting with the surgeon on March 2nd. I feel like it is all going to go very quickly after the 17th. Good luck on the endoscopy and the sleep test. I am really glad to know someone will be going through this at the same time and if yall want someone to talk to just send me a message.

I finished my stuff to be submitted for approval on Friday. Scheduler called me today and said it takes about two weeks to get results from the psych eval then submit but that i should be looking at the end of March for surgery but she can't schedule until approval.

My surgery is scheduled for March 8. I'm going through the read everything I possibly can phase, and my husband thinks I'm "obsessing." I'm starting to get nervous and as silly as it sounds, it still doesn't seem real. When I have my normal "if I ever lose weight..." thoughts and realize it's not if, but when. It's hard to wrap my mind around it.

I'd really like to know what people are doing now to prepare. I haven't started any major changes and feel guilty for not doing so yet.

March 2, can not wait. I have started to mix in protien shakes in place of 2 meals. The nutritionist hasn't said to do it yet but I want to ease myself into it so I'm not miserable when I'm on all liquid.

Do any of you want to start a Facebook page for March Sleevers? I would be glad to try. If so send me your email addresses in private message and we can try it.

What I'm doing to prepare is obsessing over it. Lol.

But seriously, I'm trying to do some shopping for pre and post op needs now as I'm soon off to Hawaii for 2 weeks and then start my pre op dirt as soon as I get home. I'm nervous but excited!

I'm scheduled for March 21. I was rescheduled from Feb 1 because I fell and fractured my heel bone and ruptured my achilles tendon. I'm now having surgery for my foot on Monday.

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      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
