mom of 5

Khloe, I haven't sampled any either... the thought of drinking something gritty, disgust me! My pre-op appt. in January, I had to drink this chalky stuff, and it about made me vomit. Kind of reminds me if that..blahhh! I guess I gotta do, what I gotta do! My sleeve is scheduled for April 18...

April 18..seems sooo far away! I know it'll be here before we know it though. I'm very excited, but nervous all the same! Best Wishes to all!

Best Wishes everyone! Speedy recovery as well! Mine isn't till April 18. Seems so far away, but I'm sure it'll be here before I know it! Keep us informed!

I'm gonna get started on them.

Welcome Jules! Best Wishes for your upcoming surgery. You'll do GREAT!=)

Hey, do you have a FB?

No Way....My Aunts, Uncles, Cousins all still live there. My husband and I have talked about moving back after my "baby" graduates high school..We'll see. I sure MISS it there!=) Have you started on a vitamin regimen? If so, what kind are you taking? I am so confused with the different ones people take. Just like protein shakes, etc. Have any advice? And when you start your pre-op diet. I have about 130lbs. I want to lose and I'm soooo excited to get this going. I have my nutrition class March 26. I'm sure I'll get all the info. I'm going to need. I just want to get a head start on my vitamins!

I was reading your past post. I see you live in Oklahoma?...I was born in Tahlequah, and raised in Sequoyah/Claremore, and Oolagah. I now live in Indiana.

Hi Emme. Were pretty close to the same date. We can support each other as the time nears.

I'm 43. Married, and have 5 children ranging from 25yrs. down to my surprise 15yr. old. I am scheduled to be sleeved April 18. I'm looking forward to my "NEW" lifestyle. April sure can't come soon enough.

Angelaet, how long are you suppose to be on your pre-op diet? Yours bis April 1? That's a month plus being on it. I'd be nuts by now!

Thank You! Vitamin C? Would chewables work? How do you freeze egg, chicken, and the other salads? Won't it taste weird? I sure would love other low carb meals! My nutrition class is all day. :/ I guess that's a good thing! My class is March 26. The more information we have, the more ready we'll be. I've read on here that Biotin helps with hair loss. I think I'm going to add that to my daily vitamin ritual! Have you started taking any yet? What lists did they give you to take daily? Sorry again for all the questions.

What are you doing in preparing your meals? Could you share? I have my nutrition class March 26. Hopefully I am able to retain what they tell me!

My surgery is April 18. I've had everything done since Jan. 17, but had to wait till the doctor had the next available appt. I am at 271, and I'm 5' 5". I'm ready to get the ball rolling thats for sure!

I started the required weight management from my physician in August. .pre-op is done. Now I have to wait till May for my surgery....I want to SCREAM! I'm going to get cold feet if I keep talking myself out of all the foods I'm going to miss. Anyone else have had to wait for so long from your pre-op till surgery?

I've gained 11 lbs. Since August (my initial consult with bariatric team). Now after all my required weight management from physician, pre-op done, I now have to wait at least till May for my sleeve. Surgeon is scheduled out that far..boo... who knew it would take so long? Now to keep my weight at bay, ahh, food is my friend!

Awesome!
