    Yes, NSMC makes us go through a 4 week Pre-op program and then we have to do a 2 week Liquid Pre-op diet. After surgery we have an 8 week Post-op program we have to go though. Support groups are also offered once a month. I have found them very informative.

    Tanya, I am really excited. Did you get a date yet? Maybe we will see each other during the 8 week post-op program.

    I don't own a scale either. I weigh in every week at Weight Watchers. I do own a food scale and I weigh my food.

    I'm having my sleeve done at Salem Hospital in Salem, MA next Wednesday. I can't wait. Good Luck!

    You can do it. Stay positive. I'm on Day 10 of the Pre-op diet. I'm just starting to feel week but I"m staying positive. I'm going to try and hit the gym tomorrow hoping that will give me some energy. Good Luck!

    Lavender replied to MrsPierre's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I was informed broth only. Nothing can be in the broth. Check with your NUT.

    If one therapist didn't work for you try another. There are many out there and you have to find the one that works for you. I have a fabulous Social Worker (T) and I'm not ashamed to tell anyone. My T has helped me tremendously and will continue after I have my surgery. Please seek the help. Do it for your health.

    Day 7 of Liquid Diet. Today I meet with the surgeon for my Pre-Op appointment.

    Why won't this site let me save my surgeon's name under the profile? He's listed as one of the surgeon's on the site. Is there a step I'm missing?

    June 12 will be my day

    Lavender replied to Newlife4me2017's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story

    I haven't thought of doing a video blog. I'll have to look into it. I really don't want to put this out on facebook because I'm not telling everyone about the surgery. I have some people (especially people I work with) who may be very negative. I don't need that kind of toxic in my process. Facebook is too public for me.

    Lavender replied to Newlife4me2017's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story

    Yahoo! We have a June 12th support group on the East coast. Jess, like you I've been trying new recipes and new foods. Even food I never liked before I now like. I will hopefully start my blog this week and keep you all posted on how everything is going. Keep me posted on your journey, too. Have a wonderful Day!!!....

    Drains?

    Lavender replied to Lavender's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Thank you for some insight. I see the doctor tomorrow and that will be one of my top questions. I really don't want to go home with one. June 12th at 9:00 am is my big day and I'm so excited.

    June 12 will be my day

    Lavender replied to Newlife4me2017's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story

    Hi Jess! Good luck with everything. You and I have the same surgery date and on the same day of the Liquid Diet. I'm so excited and so ready for this new change. We are both on the Eastern coast, too. I've been told we will be able to eat out again but will be making healthier choices and eating much smaller portions. We will have to share our stories after the surgery. Good luck and enjoy the new you.

    Words of wisdom to new sleevers

    Lavender replied to NewYear'sSleeve's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories

    Thank you for sharing! I'm being very careful who I let know because there are so many negative people out there. I only want positive in my life.

    Telling other people

    Lavender replied to ready2inspire's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    You don't need to tell people. If they ask how you are losing the weight just tell them you are making Lifestyle changes for better health. I'm only planning on telling people I know who will support me in my decision.

    The inches are melting away!

    Lavender commented on SqueakyWheel&Ethyl's blog entry in Squeaky Wheel & Ethyl's Blog
