I wouldn't say I'm second guessing my decision, but I understand that feeling. I went from being 110% ready, zero hesitation, to... WOW, is this really happening? Am I sure about this? It's extreme. It's permanent. It has risks. Several friends and family members have said I'm "fine the way I am" and not to do it. But....

I'm staying positive and focusing on the good that will come from this experience, rather than the tough parts and potential complications.

Just try to think about where you will be a year from now and hold on to that thought! =) An overwhelming majority of WLS patients say it's the best decision they have ever made, not necessarily the easiest though.

Best of luck!

br3n you are the best! Way to motivate!! :)

Going in for my pre op this week. Talking with surgeon and last meeting with nutritionist prior to the 10/15 big day. Hoping for the best results for everyone getting ready for their October surgeries. Nervous, excited, my two big worries are Hair loss and dehydration. Love reading others experiences. Hoping it helps me be better prepared. 🙂

I'm going 10/15 too for the same procedure. Good luck to you!

I’m starting 2 week liquid diet today. I ordered a bunch of Protein juices, broth, shakes, etc online but they aren’t here yet (I ordered almost 2 weeks ago with express shipping!)

So now I’m going to have to go to the grocery store, which I hate - and try to figure out stuff that will meet the liquid diet requirements. Any tips for me?

My surgery date is 10/15/18 - the day before my 25th wedding anniversary. I am extremely excited, but nervous. I have had major surgery before, so not really worried about the surgery itself, I just don't want to let myself down.

Hello everyone! My gastric sleeve surgery is scheduled for 10/15 and I can’t wait. It’s been a wild ride! 12 years ago I had the lapband. I was 257 and got down to 167. I had two pregnancies and lost all of the weight right after. About 8 months ago I started having a lot of issues with the band. Long story short I have to have it removed due to erosion and have gotten back up to 225 and feeling like crap! I have lost the greatest tool I had to help me and I can’t wait until this surgery to get me back on track. I start my pre op diet on 10/1 and that is stressing me out a bit but I’ll push through. I am only hoping for no complications and a quick recovery as I have three wild and crazy kids!!! Hoping to connect with some or all of you for support and experiences!

Mine is scheduled for 10/15 also! I am excited. I am fearful for other people when I start the pre op diet on the 1st! LOL

How are our October 1 sleevers doing?

Tomorrow's folks - @bmatt418, @cindy t, @Deanayeah, @Lizzieming, @Marla522, @nikoleroze, @Oct517 - are you ready? Best of luck to you all! Check in when you can!

I'm one of the October 3 folks, and I won't do my post-surgery check-in before I get home on (here's hoping) the 4th--I use these forums through the browser, not the app. I also won't update the list of surgery buddies for a couple of days, so if someone else wants to, feel free? But I'll scroll back and add people, once I'm up to it, so no worries.

Here's the list as it stands now, so you can all find and befriend your surgery buddies! ❤️

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
