So many great forums and groups to link up with I’m new and already a little addicted to this app as well as everyone’s story and journey. My journey began early January and my projected surgery date is in May. I love to link up with others who are dates are close to mine just to encourage each other. I’ve already talk to some awesome people in my short time on here. I started vlogging my journey on YouTube right from the beginning so if anyone is interested check it out https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoDS8UYKi9Wu1__0j9qJ8rA

I plan to continue sharing up to and well after surgery all my feelings and experiences. Hopefully it helps someone like me or not like me at all. I’m So happy for everyone taking charge of their lives! We are incredible people.

Congratulations!!! Quick question. Is insurance requiring the 30 days liquid diet for you? Its usually 2 weeks here...30 days is long time

It's standard to do the pre-op liquid diet for 4 weeks in Sweden.
It's going to be tough but I'm so excited to finally have the surgery!

Mines May 14th in Mexico. Did my research and spoke to someone else that when to the same place and it was actually easier to get in there in a good time frame rather there go through the health care system here. It may cost me but I am determined to use this as the tool it is meant to be and be able to do all the things you guys listed. Im glad there are so many people around the same time to experience this with.

4/24 is my surgery date in Mexico Very nervous as well

Mine is also 4/24!

You can totally do this! I read, if you get hungry is just to wash your hands. Washing your hands will reset your mind. =)

oh, I cant wait to be sleeved! I have been doing a tremendous amount of personal research on the topic of Laparoscopic sleeve surgery. I am learning that surgery is not the hard part. It is the after care that is the real mountain to climb. I understand the surgery analytically. It all makes sense. I have watched about 5 surgeries online on YouTube. My anxiety has dissolved. I am prepared mentally for the liquid stage and the soft stage. I understand that there will be a period when I will only have liquids, and I am ok with that. Actually I read that I can have sugar free Jello along with sugar free juices. I will need to sip the juice slowly. I love cranberry juice and they carry unsweetened at the store I go to. Jello is considered a liquid, that is my take on it anyway. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I’m excited for you! I Think we all have done our fair share of research and some lol. Now it’s just the waiting game and preparing. As much as I think I’m ready I’m sure there will be some stumbling blocks along the way but I know all our journeys will be different. That’s part of the reason why I vlog on YouTube because Id like to go back to see where I am now and where I’m going to be a year from now. Best wishes
