Sleeve tomorrow😁 I am so ready. I have lost 100 lbs 3 times only to regain. This will be the permanent tool I needed.

Wish me luck.

And to everyone waiting, please hang in there. It is going to be worth it.

Ok then , we are in it together. My surgery is 3 weeks on the 23rd. I have one more week of real food - won't over do it because I meet with the surgeon on the 9th and I'm sure he will weigh me lol.

My preop diet is the liquid Protein Shakes for Breakfast and lunch and then a sensible dinner.

I was weighing in at 229 a few months ago but have been taking Vyvanse for binge eating disorder which is a stimulant (therapy as well) and also taking Saxenda which is a weight loss medication. Victoza is for diabetes and Saxenda is a double dose of Victoza marketed as a weight loss product. I am down to 206 now. I am doing the gastric bypass for a chance at health. I have been overweight since I was 5! I don't know what it is like to eat normally or even be thin.

I am 54 and have diabetes type II, kidney disease, fatty liver disease, gerd, asthma, neuropathy in my feet, glaucoma suspect, cataracts, depression, anxiety and more. I take so many medicines it is ridiculous and borders on embarassing lol.

I am praying that that this surgery and my good behavior will help me to be healthy for the first time in my life.

I will remember you all in my prayers. Let us know how your surgery went and how your are feeling.

How come you don't have one

The doctor only requires one for some patients and I guess I lucked out!

Same here. I live in Switzerland. I'm getting the sleeve on 1/16 and there's no pre-op diet. Just the day before, apparently. I'll talk with my surgeon next Monday when they open again after the holidays to check.

Good luck! I've done the same as you... Losing 90lb several times and regaining. Looking forward to this permanent solution though as everybody days, it's not the easy way out. Let us know how it goes with you!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
