And May is such a pretty month! You'll be able to do your exercising in the sunlight on green grass with flowers all around. And summer will be easier because you're not as big as you were last year. Good times and good things ahead, my friends![emoji14][emoji304][emoji13]

Hi May sleeves,

We are literally halfway through the April and our surgeries are looming. Anyone have any new experiences/fears/updates to share?

I haven' started my preop diet and I just went through a phase where I wanted to eat everything in sight....because I know after I start my preop....there will be no more of that...surgery date 5/11/18

Hi! I am May 14 and feeling incredibly excited! My pre-op diet is only 2 days (sat+sun before Monday surgery) but lately I’ve considered following others and doing a 1 or 2 week liquids plan? I’m terrified my liver will be too big to operate on. What does your pre-op diet look like?

I haven' had my preop nutrition appointment yet. It is on 4/26. At that point it will only be two weeks until surgery....I'm hoping for a week but will do whatever he says.

I’m having bypass May 7...I was nervous/excited...then I too went through the phase where I wanted to eat...I had to lose 10% of my weight to get approved, I did that fine...now I have my pre op with my primary dr on Thursday and my weight is up a little and I’m nervous...my weight is not supposed to be up at all during this time...I’m thinking of opting out of getting weighed...the only weight that matters will be next week at my surgical pre op...

I'm scared to get on the scale now, but I guess I really need to know where I am so that I can get my act together.. I' pretty sure they won' cancel after insurance approval, but I most certainly don' want to be the one who gained weight either.
