My surgery date is 4/7. Excited but extremely nervous. I started my preop diet this week and it is going well. I am stocking for the liquid phase but don't have many ideas for the pureed stage but I have a little time to think about it. One nice thing is my job is letting me work from home for the preop through the 6 week after so I can adjust my eating at home while still be able to work.

My surgery date is 4/7 also! Just a few more days

Hi all - I have my sleeve surgery in about an hour. Have read up on this forum for weeks now, and it has been extremely informative and supportive. I’m 6’ tall and my max weight was 360, right around the start of my preop diet 2-weeks ago. I’m now at 345 going into surgery. I’m having my surgery done by New York Bariatric Group. Hope all goes well. I have a mix of nervousness and excitement. Will update the forum on how things went.

@ashd13 no everything is not. I believe my daughter has bipolar and her mood is very distracting and I'm concerned for her well being. We argue everyday....its too stressful for me and i don't think it would be good getting the surgery at this time😔.

Totally newbee to this site. It so nice to see.

My surgery is scheduled for the 18th (in NYC) so I've just started my two-weeks (!!) of liquid diet.

As someone who has had untreated and poorly treated bipolar for a number of years until recently and has had the surgery I think I agree that if you are right, until she is medicated and things calm down a bit it would be difficult for a parent to focus on themselves enough to make the surgery work for you right now. You can still focus on eating healthy and not gaining as best as you can and set a specific time to revisit the idea though. Best of luck with your daughter. There are very good medications out there. Just need to keep working to find the right one. Talk therapy helped me as well. You may want to mention weight concern to the doctor since obesity is genetic and mood stabilizers and anti depressants have a tendency to cause weight gain. There are a few that cause less.

I am sorry to hear that. You ultimately have to do what is best for you and your family. You will be in my thoughts and prayers and will always have a friend here and an ear to listen. ❤️

      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
