Hello to everyone . I got okayed this week for my gastric sleeve surgery....scheduled for Oct 28, 2019......I have some wish washy feelings going on right now....I have lost 14 lbs on my own since I started talking to Dr about this surgery the first of July....Same Dr. took out my gall bladder on June 17, 2019. so I popped the question of sleeve surgery to him and it has been a journey toward this goal every since....So looking forward to it and getting my life back again...I have been bouncing around 200 lb all of my adult life. I am 79 years old and didn't even think it possible to get approved because of my age....so glad I was approved....anyhow I retired and got married and also moved from NC to Ga. all at the same time....11 years ago....that is when the weight started piling on...I had gotten up to 267 lbs and now I weigh 253 lb. Would love to hear from anyone that would like to share pre-op and post op tips.....and how to eat after the initial post op liquid diet.....thank you all and looking forward to hearing from anyone...SissyJ

liquid diet starts Oct 14, surgery on Oct 28th...God willing

Oh good luck to you and best wishes! Just stay focus and on mission. I had to review what I was supposed to be eating because my weight stayed the same this week and discovered that I was eating way too much protein, but I'm making those adjustments.

I used to do a month long juice detox fast in the fall until the acid reflux got so bad that I couldn't do it, but I'm hoping that by the time I need to do the liquid diet my body will be ready for it.
