My date is also June 30th and I also started my liquids yesterday. Not too bad of a first day thankfully. I've been at this for about 6 months now and am ready to get the show on the road. Feeling some anxiety but ready to go and get on that losers bench myself! Good luck to you!

Hi! Just got approved for surgery on June 30th too! Sort of freaking out just a little bit lol I'm ready to go though!

Hi, my name is Lynne and I'm just getting started on my wls journey. I have two education sessions this week coming up and my first appointment the following week. I'm planning on bypass but will come to a complete decision after speaking with the bariatric folks. Very excited to get started! So, I'm a wife to Jim for 16 years (almost) and have a 9 year old son. Also two cats and a dog! Can't forget my furbabies! I've been battling my weight most of my life to some degree. My most severe issues started once I hit college. Like everyone here, I've run the gammut of diets! I've done low carb, low cal, liquid, etc. Lost a lot and gained A LOT back! I'm so very ready to reclaim my life and participate and not just watch! I'm a bit of a shy person until I get comfortable so please, if I have a slow start here it's just me being socially awkward lol Really looking forward to getting to know everyone and sharing our journeys together!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and words of encouragement! Bella, that's a long day! lol It's good that you get everything done in one shot though! That's great! My appointments are going to be spaced out a bit. Something like one a month. Which for me is fine because I'm not going to be able to do this until late June. I've been wondering, does everyone have to do a sleep study? Or is that decided on an individual basis as needed?

Snow, I'm pretty sure I'll be doing a pre op diet but yeah, don't know the specifics just yet. I'm sure you're anxious. I can't imagine not being anxious! You're right though, it'll be so worth it. Katie, thanks! That is another big factor for waiting until June. I want to make sure I understand everything before heading into it. I know there are some things you just can't prepare though. Dani, that is fantastic! Sorry to hear you had a rough start but it sounds like you're off and running now!

Hi Bella and SnowDaisy! Thanks for the welcome! Well, I'm shooting for a late June surgery date because I work in a preschool and want to wait until school is done for the summer. I'd love to do it sooner than that if I could but I really can't do that to my coworkers and I really don't want to lose my job. I love working with the little kiddos! They're so cute! Bella, how far along are you towards your surgery? Snow, that's so awesome that your surgery is this week! You must be so excited! Good luck on Wednesday!
