Hello all! I am 26 going on 27 in a few weeks and I'm in nearing the ending of my preliminary appointments before going on the post-op diet right before surgery. I'm currently a full-time doctoral student, active member of my church serving in multiple ministries, and married to my wonderful husband who is making a life change as well.

I wanted to know who here is from SNJ and hopefully we can connect to be a support system. I have membership at PF and will be attending regularly since I have been cleared to do so.

This is such a heavy decision and a life change that is better supported by people who can show empathy. Let's connect!!

Blessings!

Congrats!!! I pray that all goes well for you! How has your journey been so far? I just finished my pulmonary dr appt yesterday and I was cleared. I'm just waiting for my sleep study and my last nutrition appt. I'm am STRUGGLING at the moment with my eating. I'm losing weight, but I've noticed I've have been a bit carb heavy the past few days. I had a full Breakfast this morning so I'll be watching it now.

Thanks for the prayer and my journey has been such a struggle I had to postpone my surgery twice do to not being cleared by my cardiologist and pulmonary doctor so that stressed me made me wanna quit and eat lol but I've been doing good I cut carbs totally because I love it and I can't have just a little so I cut it out completely but for the most part it's been ok some ups and downs but it's to be expected I'm excited yet so nervous

I believe it!!! Definitely a journey with a great reward. Ironically, I was just hospitalized and my nurse tech had his sleeve done 11 months ago and he lost almost 190lbs!! He looks great and he says he feels much lighter although he's been slipping up a little.
