I'm in charlotte

My husband is also going to have a sleeve done. I will do mine first and hopefully he will be approved for July. It makes it so much easier when the people you are closest to are supportive and in my case going through the same thing. We haven't told our teenage kids yet. I plan to tell them the weekend before. They are both wrapping up the school year and have finals looming, so I decided to wait till tests are done. So that means the weekend before my surgery. I believe they will be supportive and caring when they realize how major this surgery is. But for now.., I'm heading to the Carolina coast for a work function and lots of fun in this beautiful springtime sun....anyone want to tag along:)

DonaiA- best wishes on a speedy approval for your surgery. I was lucky and didn't have to go through the supervised diet. I can't believe my sleeve is just a month away!

Stormied7- how's your post-op been?

My surgery is June 9th with pre op on June 2 and 5. I start my liquid diet may 27th. Between now and then, I'm going to start out with one protein shake as a meal replacement, increase my water intake and increase my walking. I would live to get 2 miles in each day. My plan is to do this for one week, then switch to two protein shakes and one well planned meal. There will be snacks, almonds, yogurt, etc.. In my mind if I do a "pre op" before the actual pre op, it may be less difficult

I received my 2 pre op appointments and my 2 post op appointments today. Does anyone know what the pre op group meeting is? It is a 2 hour meeting.The other pre op appointment is with the surgeon . I still can't believe this is happening in one month. I can't wait. I have been overweight my entire adult life. I can't wait to try thinner and healthier!!!

June 9th for me!

I started this journey in February and today I received my surgery date- 6/9. I'm nervous but excited mixed with a little fear of the unknown. any other June sleevers out there?

Good luck to you

My sleeve is in June 9th. I like the isopure protein drinks. It gives you a fruity option, the green apple is my favorite
