My Sleeved Tummy

My surgeon didn't require any sort of liquid diet. I feel lucky about that! I just can not eat after 8pm the night before.

Hello Everyone! I'm having my sleeve Nov. 6 @ Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. I feel so overwhelmed!

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced difficulty losing weight before surgery? My doctor hasn't specified a specific amount of weight he'd like me to lose, just told me that I can not gain. I have to attend a 12 week program (having surgery @ Mayo Clinic, and have Mayo insurance as well) and have just completed week 7. So far, my weight has stayed exactly the same. Not even a 0.01 change in pounds. I'm frustrated because I'm watching what I eat and I'm getting in activity. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Part of me wonders if I'm subconsciously sabotaging myself? I get kind of scared sometimes of what life will be like when (if) I have the surgery...and notice I've been feeling a little anxious--not sure exactly why though.

I'm also from Rochester, and going through the LEARN program at Mayo for surgery. I'm not sure if I will have bypass or sleeve, but I'm leaning towards sleeve at this point. Who is your surgeon? Kendrick?
