I had my sleeve on July 8. It’s the July 11th and I feel great. The hardest part is getting in the fluids in with small sips. It’s hard but I’m making it work. I’m down 11 pounds since 7/8.

I needed 2 medical issues for insurance, all I had was weight. Finally, I decided to do a sleep study because my husband said I was snoring again, was diagnosed with apnea I was so excited. Then I got the clearance that I wanted. I'm so excited. I had the Lap-band for 9 years it started failing about 2 years ago and I had it removed last year. My doctor said I'd have to self pay as I didn't have any medical issues other than my weight. I was so depressed until I decided to see if I could be diagnosed with apnea and I was, then 6 months later I'm on the road to good health again.
That is awesome news!! I'm so happy for you!! I start my pre-op liquid diet next Wednesday. Dreading the headaches.

Getting mine done July 22. This pre-op diet is horrible. I just hope that I’ll be able to some of my favorite things later ie: red meat, spicy

We are Sleeve Buddies! My surgery is the same date. Good Luck!!

I am going to start eating clean Saturday. My husband has taken me out to get my favorite foods, BLT, Shrimp and grits, and Collards. Now I'm going to stop Saturday when my husband leaves town. I'm going to slowly go down to this pre-surgery diet. I've cut out sweet tea, just plain now, and sugars. Saturday will be carbs and sugars. Good luck with your diet!

I hope you are feeling better by now. Mine is scheduled for July 30 and I'm starting on the pre-surgical diet this weekend. I am tapering off on the weekend and going to try to follow it fully by Monday. My husband leaves town for a week and Saturday I will throw out all of my temptations. Do let us know how you are doing.

      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!!

      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
