Welcome to the Class of 2020 as @Greeteal calls it, lol. Our January family is growing and getting very close. Are you excited, nervous, or etc.? Do you know if you have to liquid diet, if so joe long?

Hi there...my surgery date is also on 1/31/2020! I’m having the sleeve and It’s with Dr. Bello at GBMC. Now, I’m starting to get more excited but I am definitely still nervous too. Although I’m doing quite a bit of preparation, I’ve joined support groups, and I have a solid core network of support with family and friends and with my Drs, nutrionist, RN, and everyone here so I’m feeling pretty positive about this new journey! I can’t wait!!

Thank you! I'm excited. I'm so ready to love myself, and feel better! I do have to do liquid diet, it's for 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after. I go for my pre-OP work on 1/6. But if I remember correctly, after the post-OP liquid diet, I'll be on puree's for 3 weeks, then soft foods for 2 weeks and regular food for a week to see if I can tolerate it. But I'll find that out for sure on my preop appointment!

I was so excited to see we were surgery date twins when I saw your post! Seems we’re in the same boat as far as our excitement and nervousness. I think that’s normal. Looking forward to sharing our journey togethe! 💕

Yes, I read your profile. We are both Virgos, lol. I have been so excited as I continue with preparing for next month. I'm so excited to finally meet our immediate peer group. I will be posting and updating often, its been keeping me focused and I'm learning more about life as a wls person in the real world and actual everyday scenarios. This site is full of great questions and answers, I don't think the Dr. can answer all of these questions because each experience is different and so is the patient's experience to this major life changing event.

My pre-op is tomorrow, 12/24- Christmas Eve! Surgeon is Dr.Chu at Kaiser Fremont, CA. My surgery will be 1/7 & I’m so psyched! I have my Vitamins, muscle milk, broths & am ready! I’m afraid of the first 1-2 weeks because I hear they are a bit difficult. Fingers crossed!!!!

      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
