I finally made the thread for those of us who are scheduled for May 15th. It'll be fun to hear how all of us are doing during our journeys. Feel free to share!

There are many of us on pre-ops now and some have a few days. Just about a week left!!! How awesome and exciting it is! ?

Dont forget to FOLLOW the thread!

Everything looks good, food wise. I better get off Pinterest. Well, I know this is going to be a live and learn deal in the beginning, but I'm going to try a scrambled egg softened up with a splash of milk. Maybe.

I have an appointment with my PCP tomorrow morning cause I haven't seen her since January. I possibly going to have blood work from her. I'm excited to see the weight i loss also i just returned home from outside. I stood in the elevator upright when normally I'm holding on for dear life. I have a hoodie that never would fit properly now it fits. ? Today is a great day. @esaad i proud everything went great at the doctors. @Apple1 You totally kick type 2 diabetes butt. You rock!!!!!! @Newme17 and musketeer you are totally a force to be reckoned with. Each of you mean a lot to me.

@Sweet as peaches I agree with you completely, we are all rocking this sleeve. I look forward everyday to reading everyone's updates. I feel so blessed to be on this journey with such a great group of ladies☺️

I have a beaming smile full of joy! thank you @Sweet as peaches that was just awesome and kind of you. I feel so much the same with everyone here too. I had to smile even bigger cause I LOVE hoodies! Lol. I'm so happy yours is fitting now. Mine is just getting a bit bigger. It'll be another excuse to buy another hoodie. Ha! Blessings at your appt with the pcp! She should be quite excited and impressed!!!!

EGG UPDATE:

Success!!!! Lol. I ate 1/2 an egg with a tad bit of low fat cheese on it. I was concerned at first because of how slow it was going down. I could feel it. So I opted to walk back and forth while I chewed on tiny bites. It was very hard to tell when I was full though. So, when I burped as if I needed to make room, I stopped. I didn't want to push it at all. I also didn't have the urge to want to eat everything I saw too. That's when I know my stomach has settled. Then I went for a walk at a Walmart. Lol. Had to get dog food and a salad for my husband, ended up buying more stuff, as always, but it was a good walk all around the store.

Another bit of great news....I'll have a functioning kitchen, I get my new countertops tomorrow

@Thejeweledsleeve, hon you are more than welcomed to come join us in this thread!!!! We'd love to have my "paver" here. Lol.

Hurray for you @Newme17!!! I am so happy you are getting your kitchen back and eating the egg went well.

Your experience makes me think I will do ok when I start on some new foods.

Wow I guess everyone's doctor is different. we were told no beans, potatoes, carbs for 1 year

I do think every surgeon has their own plan and most of the time there are slight differences. My plan had me on clear liquids only the first week while many are allowed protein shakes and yogurt. I have even seen that some docs go to purée on day 2 post-op.

I couldn't and wouldn't follow your plan. That's just too much for me.

Beans are on my plan starting week 4, but my surgeon is a little conservative. I don't understand the no beans at all.
