Yeah, congrats. It's so exciting isn't it!!! [emoji4]


Yes it is! I'm still in shock mode because it happened unexpectedly fast! I'm just so thankful everything went through. I was starting to feel discouraged and a bit stressed [emoji30]

Oh I totally get that. The amount of stuff I had to go through from almost the beginning of this year till I got my surgery date was insane. Even having to GAIN 20 pounds to make the BMI mark, and that was actually a lot harder than what I thought it was going to be. I'm SOOOOO sick of fast food right now. But we are here and IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN :)

On day 2 of preop diet and not as bad as I was afraid of. Lots of premier protein drinks and other ready made stuff since I work full time. Probably because it seems like waiting forever to get this started and surgery date of 10/10 finally has some sort of count down!


October 27th!! Just got the news today [emoji1487]




Congrats!!! My date is October 20th. Just confirmed yesterday. Not complaining at all but I feel so rushed. Like I don't even have a month to get my head around it.


October 20th! This is happening kinda fast for me. Like I feel like I really need to wrap my head around how much my life will change in less than 30 days! Also I'm get worried easily and question if I can get my clearances in time. I'm sure I can, I'm just anxious.

So yesterday was bad. I cheated on the diet and had some Nachos and I feel horrible about it. It wasn't even worth it because they didn't even taste good. Today is a new day but I'm back on the diet and I think this slip up has only made me stronger.

Pretty sure your body forgives you, and it sounds like your spirit will too! I'm sure you will do well with your surgery. I don't care for the pre op, but it tastes much better than it did when I started, no hunger. I imagine "other" food would be gross tasting, and your share certainly helped me! Thanks for being so generous! Are you from Butte MT? I have family all over the area there, although we are in NC.

Congrats to you too! Yeah it's like GO time for real now lol You got this [emoji1476]


Mine is on October 30th. Scared to bits.

I just found out yesterday I'm getting sleeved October 2nd which is this MONDAY. Its crazy how long the pre-op process feels until its actually time to go in! Where did the time go?

Had bloodwork yesterday and pre-anesthesia consult. Have EDG tomorrow, last hurdle!!! Getting real.

Pre-op liquid diet starts 16 days and surgery in 26.

Get this - my 3 daughters in support of their mother are going to do a liquid diet with me! ? They have from 20-50 lbs to lose. LOL Should be interesting!

Just got Oct 12 surgery date


Just got Oct 12 surgery date




My surgery date is October 3rd 2017 5 days to go!!! Prop diet is going well! I made sure I had different flavors of protein drinks Sams had Carmel banana cream chocolate and I got a fuzzy Navel flavor from the vitamin shop. It's so good. So if have a variety it's not bad! Good luck!!
