I am a self patient and just scheduled for June 6, 2018!!! I’m excited!

BMI: 36.35

Weight: 199

I just brought my toddler plate and utensil set for when I start foods. I don’t know how to eat in smaller portions to be totally honest. I’ve been practicing. The struggle is real but so worth it.

Surgery date June 14th ❤️

Regarding caffeine, I believe it really depends on your surgeon and program. I don't have to avoid it, but I should limit my intake to 1-2 cups a day (including tea). Since I have a 2-week liquid diet where I am not allowed anything else beside veggies, I will most definetely keep my morning coffee for the sake of my sanity

Just popping in to say HI! and YAY! counting down to June 13th. My first appointment at my surgery center was way back in August... OMG it's taken forever and I'm SOOOO ready to get sleeved!

I used to take those diet pill with caffeine, but I stopped about a month ago. I stopped coffee last week, and I did go through the withdrawals. Just with the liquid diet some caffeine would help to get things going.

Hey other June people, my sleeve surgery is June 18 - I’m 205 BMI 35. I’m pretty excited!

Had my final pre surgery consultation today. Everything is on track for the 4 June.

it feels really far away and really soon at the same time. Very excited!!

Who has started their pre-op/liquid diet ? How is it going ? How are you holding up ?

I started yesterday, well I kinda started last week but not as serious because was a bonus week I decided to do. On my pre op diet I am allowed 1 lean meal per day. A small salad with 3oz of lean protein, which makes so much easier. I tried to do only liquids last week and was much difficult. It feels good I am loosing weight and I feel more energized. The energized part I will attribute to a psychological effect... hahhaha

I am glad to know you have more energy ! This is one of my worry. I must admit the liquid diet is what scares me the most in this process. I just started this morning but so far it is going fine. I admire you to have started early

Thank you, I believe that practice is key, I think studies show that it takes around 21 days of frequent behavior to create a habit. Might as well try to apply that to eating habits.

im june 4th!! I start a liquid one week only starting May 28th wonder why some people dont have to do a liquid diet? Guess its up to the surgeon!

I’m also June 6!

Hi! I have a tentative June 12 surgery, pending insurance approval. I’m so looking forward to this! The only thing that has me stressed is being able to get back to work as soon as possible. I am self-employed as an upholsterer and a single parent so I need to jump back in the saddle and keep those endless bills in check. Since I work at home, I’m thinking to ease back into work once my pain is manageable, maybe in a week or so. My teenage son is going to help with the lifting, so I can do the rest of the work. Anybody else going back to a physically demanding job? Any tips?

I’m going to Mexico for the gastric sleeve 5/30 with Dr. Ortiz.

I finally found my sleeve twin ❤️ 6/6/18 congrats hun
