Hi,

I am new to this site and the forums. I am scheduled for my sleeve surgery on August 10th, and I am terrified.

I am looking for a mentor to help me through this process. Some one who has already been where I am going would help tremendously.

I am 47, a mom, a grad student, and ready for this change in my life

I am 47 and had my sleeve on 1/5/16. My starting weight was 215 lbs and I currently weigh 151! Not bad for 6 months. This was the best thing I could have done for my health. The first month is a challenge, but it gets pretty easy after that. My recommendation at this point is to find a good Protein shake that works for you to lose weight before surgery, but recognize you may not like the same shake after. Your taste buds will change some and things you crave today will no longer taste good. Good luck!!
