How much did you lose the first month? Just curious what the range is for everyone. Thanks, Nancy

Did the surgery help any? Thanks, Nancy

What is/was your typical day like while on the pre-op stage? What did you drink? Did you follow a routine daily? I will be working and we actually have a fully stocked kitchen as well as a cook that cooks lunch for us everyday of the week. So temptation will be all around me and I want to be successful from the start. Any and all replies will be much appreciated. Nancy

Just curious did anyone eat baby food when you could finally start eating?

How long before you can drive? Nancy

My name is Nancy aka: nancylovescats, I have three and would love more but I think hubby would move out. I am 58, mom to one daughter, two granddaughters ages 7 and 8 1/2 going on 18. I work full time and love my job, I have not told anyone about the surgery except my boss and not sure if I will share with everyone or not. I've been through all the pre-op stuff as far as dieting for six months, letter from primary care doctor, shrink visits, social worker visit and the funding. I am just waiting for that funding letter to make it to the hospital so I can meet the dietician and support group then to set the date. I am hoping to have it done sometime in May. I have battled my weight for most of my adult life but it got worse when I had a work injury that took me out of the working world and on disability until 17 months ago when I found the perfect job. I have fibromyalgia and am hoping this surgery will help relieve some of the pains associated with it. I also have cervical spinal stenosis and have had four surgeries on my spinal cord that also keeps me in a lot of pain. Maybe I am just one big pain???? Okay I am babbling, Hope to meet some great people through this journey, nothing like a great support group. Happy sleeves to all and to all a good night. Nancy

Lissa I grew up in Melbourne, we are basically neighbors.

I also have fibro and was wondering the same thing. Sure am hoping it will help it. Nancy =^..^=

Is it hard to work while on the liquid diet before surgery?
