I finally got a surgery date!!!!!! April 8 th!!!! I'm so excited I could burst! I would like to keep up with other April sleevers, pre-op diets, protien shakes, progress, stats, any concerns, etc. Lets hear it for new beginnings!

You should go in, I'm at 225 and their XL panties fit good and I'm in a 38d, the lady was soooo nice and brought me all sorts of stuff till I found what I liked. Thanks everyone for the responses, we r all getting there!

Bought my first Victorias Secret bra! I've never been measured, I've always winged it due to not wanting to be embarrassed. I've gone from 350 lbs to my current 225. I still want to get to 185, but I just wanted to share with people who would grasp the gravity of this NSV! I am working hard to get to goal hope everyone is doing well!

I got the perfect shaper ones. I only bought two, that way next sale I can get girly ones. I was pretty practical and got white and nude.

Just got rid of the last few things I was hanging on to. I barely have anything left! My husband helped me load it all into bags. As I was throwing away a hoodie I had always worn, my husband asked why I was throwing it away when I loved it so much. It made me cry to tell him that I hadn't really loved it, I had pretend that I did with the majority of my clothes because I am young and want to look unique in my clothing choice, but my size wouldn't allow it. The hoodie I got rid of was a men's 4x. I do have a fun sense of style but I have never been able to show it before. I'm not all the way there, but I am a heck of a lot closer than I was before! Oh and I got rid of all those hangers that had the sizes on them. No more 26/28 for me! So now my closet is so empty, but I am hesitant to get things that I will get too small for... What a fabulous problem! I am 5.5 months out. I have lost 100 pounds. I never thought I would ever be where I am today. I am so grateful for this surgery, and all the people who supported me. I hope all is well with everyone else!

I'm 32 lots of people have told me that. I was always aggravated that people thought I was older, so now I look my age... Maybe younger! Thanks everyone for the sweet words. And for the ones on their way, don't give up, it will happen. <3

I am self employed, and my husbands insurance doeant not cover wls. I havent had insurance in over 10 years. I was given information on the pcip insurance program for my state of Texas. If you cannot be covered by insurance, which all that i tried I didn't meet weight requirements, and you haven't had insurance in the last 6 months, this will cover you and it covers wls. Its around $200 a month. Www.pcip.gov hope this helps.

My hubby bought me a food one called "Life after weight loss surgery" on Amazon. I can't wait to try some recipes.

I was told our brain relies on water for memory. R u getting your fluids in?

I fixed it!! LOL

Because that's when it was, they moved it up due to a severe hernia. And that's just fine by me. . And I don't know how to change it... LOL

I met with the surgeons office 1/18/13, after considering wls for the past 5+ years. The director gave me more hope than any other diet I have ever tried. (And I have been dieting since I was 10!) I am excited about the surgery, but I have a mandatory six month supervised diet requirement. I am a bit disappointed but I've done it this long, six more months won't kill me I have been lurking around this site for 6 months and thought its time to speak out and join the ranks. Everyones story's, good and scary, have helped me make this decision, and I have a feeling I'm gonna need support from you all more than I know at the moment. Thanks for sharing everyone!

I'm going in San Antonio. I have a two week liquid diet prior. Are you on MFP?

Wonder_ mommy I meant April 8 th. So we will be going in at the same time!!! When do you start your preop diet? Mine is march 27 th. Courtney thanks so much for the advice, if you think of anything else, please share!!

I'm getting nervous its right around the corner!!

Courtney that is awesome!! My surgery date got bumped up to April 6 th. Any advice?

I didn't get it...

It was a man who was a member on this site. I didn't know him, but apparently he passed from a blood clot two weeks out from surgery.

Yea, reading about someone's passing really has done a number on my confidence. I have been so ready to go, and now I'm really at a crossroad. Real talk here.... Why can't I just shut my mouth and not over eat is what my brain is saying. Then it says because you've been trying for years and it doesn't or I can't get it to work. I don't want to continue like this, but I sure don't want to cut my life short fighting this fight. I hope I'm not putting a dark cloud over y'all.... I just needed to say/ type it out loud.

Thanks for the advice. I go in April 8 th. I'm really nervous.

I'm only taking two weeks off. But my third week I'm only working half days. I hope that's enough time... :-/

If anyone else joins MFP add me!! I had my eng and pre op bloodwork done yesterday. Just waiting to start my 2 week diet on the March 28th!!!
