I start my pre-op diet Monday, and am scheduled to have the sleeve on August 20th. I can only have liquids-- slim fast, chicken broth, tea, sf Jello. Go August sleevers!

Hello! I'm scheduled to have the sleeve 8/20. Right now my BMI is 47, I'm 287lbs hoping to get to 170 eventually. I have noticed after reading message boards and looking at youtube that African American women seem to have a different experience with the sleeve than non-AA. Do any of you feel the same? The food stuff is going to be hard, but for me even harder will be exercise. I'm able to look at myself and say I'm lazy as hell. Maybe some of it is the extra weight making me tired all the time, some of it might be depression, but I know given a choice I'd like to sit my fat ass in front of the TV rather than go to the gym. How have you all dealt with the exercise issue? So great to have found a forum for black women. Thanks for putting it up.
