Hey everyone!! December 1st is just around the corner and that means we are all getting CLOSE to surgery! This is mostly exciting - with a few nerves mixed in! I start my liquid pre op on dec 19th ( surgery jan 9th.) but getting serious about my water intake and Adkins diet starting Monday the 1st. Anyone want to join me and get some encouragement/accountability going? Support is going to be SO vital from here on out. It's getting real... -

Congrats on setting a date!! I found "premier protein" to be delicious and affordable ( choc flavor.) can be bought in bulk @ Costco and pre made for an easy 30g protein!! I think it's safe to say we are all a bit apprehensive about liquid dieting! However, I tell myself it's SO worth it! Stay positive and make sure and write in for encouragement in the low times. -

Don't stress!!! It's the worst for weightloss. Follow the plan, it works! I haven't talked to one person who hasn't had success with it. Even if your loss is slow during Adkins phase the liquid phase will have the weight coming off! Your gonna do great! Trust the process and go for it! -

No, I learned the guidelines, what's needed and doing my own. So spendy from them! -

Of course! That's so awesome! How are you doing?

Great! How are you doing/feeling? Thinking about starting a small support group locally if you are interested...once a month.

Kate! How are you feeling/doing? I think personal support face to face is so important (for me at least!) I'd love to get a group going...

27 year old mom in research and hope phase
mduffield replied to MissMae's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi! I'm 26 and being sleeved on jan 9th of 2015! I have a daughter. You are not giving up! Your empowering your weight loss dream with an amazing tool. I had all those feelings as well. But the more I researched and spoke to post op people the more I realized how much I wanted what they had. As moms of young kids we have so much life yet to live. Let's do it feeling/looking good! Best of luck to you! -
How awesome! So your post op?

Looking for stories of your 100lb weight loss!
mduffield replied to mduffield's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
That's so great! Thank you! I'm Already watching my intake and kicking my butt at the gym to be as strong as possible for surgery. 235 now but hoping to lose 10-20 pre op. I pray this is the solution to my body's issue with weight! I feel hope for the first time and completely on board with the process. I realize everyone's journey is different, always scary until you know what yours is. -
Hi everyone!! My name is Michelle and I just scheduled sleeve surgery for Jan 9th 2015! With dr Ortiz ( OCC.) in Tijuana. Super excited to begin this journey to the new ME and glad to have found this thread...
