Ready!! So excited!

Omg..its almost here. Im getting sleeved on Thursday 2/13..My birthday is the 17th. A present to myself.

Hi JessRose, Lets be buddys. I am schedule for 2/13. Would love to hear about your journey!

So I started my weight loss journey years ago but never thought about wls. I decided last year that wls was probably my best bet. So on my oldest son bday, April, I started my supervised 6 month diet. I went through all the testing, pych eval, nut appt and meet with my suregon twice. I have jumped through hoops to get here and now its only a week away. Im scheduled for preop appt on 2/12 and surgery on 2/13. My preop diet has been hard cause I still have a husband and three lil children to cook three square meals a day for but I haven't cheated and I'm hanging in there. Im getting super nervous as they days pass.

Haha...yep it sure is hard..I too have lost some weight about 8 lbs! Hope weight keeps coming off like this afterwards. Wheres everyone from? Im in Colorado Springs CO.

Hi Linda, yes I am being sleeve. With Colorado Springs surgical associates. Thanks I will go fill out my bio. I am glad I found this support forum.

Me too...how are you coping it? I am a full time student so Im trying to get a head in school work but find myself here reading to get ready lol....hiws your preop diet?

Im still pre op til.2/13 how are you feeling?

Im on day 4/10 preop diet and already down 8 lbs. Im required 64oz of clear liquids, 3 protein shakes and one meal with 3oz of lean meat and 1/2 cup of whole grains and 1 cup of veggies. The days are getting a little easier but I am not going to lie ...IM HUNGRY lol....I found that Crystal light is my best friend when I feel hungry I just sip sip sip. Good practice for post op too. 8 days to go surgery date 2/13.
