Hi all just came back from my surgeons office for my one week post op appointment ...down 10lbs and feel great my current weight is 201. They are now allowing me to eat purée food ???? Never so excited to eat cottage cheese before. I am blessed I have not yet thrown up however I have been following the diet plan exactly . I am not hungry but must admit when I see food I used to love to eat ( especially yesterday with the Super Bowl ) it's hard to resist . I have not set a goal weight how did you all decide what your goal weight should be ? I guess in my mind I am hoping to be the same weight I was in my 40's ...I am 51 now ...is that possible I used to weight 138 ...didn't think that would be possible at my age ? Any opinions

Good luck tomorrow everyone ...just packed my bag and getting ready for the fun .... Prayers sent your way

Hi my fellow Feb 1 sleevers ...I am so trying to get my house in order and head in order for this surgery ....my start weight was 217 I am down to 208 as of this morning from the pre op diet my goal is 145 -150 for this summer so I can feel good on the beach ... I have a 15 year old son who loves momma's cooking but had to stock up on food he can enjoy while I am out of commission ...my husband died several years ago so it just me and him and my daughter in college who is extremely supportive .... As of anyone else I decided to keep that to myself ... Did not want anyone trying to talk me out of the surgery and thinking I am just lazy trying this method! I am a breast cancer survivor and this is my first defense against re-occurance I will look forward to hearing how everyone's post surgery goes ...I report to the hospital at 630 am then wake up to my new life ! Good luck everyone

It was great to read all your stories ...I start my journey on Monday Feb 1 ...I lost 6lbs already from the pre-op diet and starting to get pretty excited for this procedure on Monday ...I was a low BMI also I am 5 ft 7 212 pounds as of today . I walk everyday and hoping I can get back to walking right after the surgery. I have told none of my friends about the surgery since I was afraid they would try to talk me out of it ... I was always a thin person in my 20's only to ballon up after a bout with breast cancer ... I did the full round of chemo and radiation and felt it was justified to eat what ever the hell I wanted and boy did it show ....my oncologist said weight loss was my first defense against re-occurrence so with the support of my family I am making this big step. Grateful to have this forum to share with peace to all ????

Congrats on your date ! I am having mine on Feb 1 and do not have to do a colon cleanse ? Oh well everyone has different procedures ....I lost 6 pounds already on my pre -op diet ... Getting nervouse

Hi Whitesand yes eye on the prize ...today I am going to take some "for me only" photos of my self in my birthday suit and every time I have doubt I am going to whip those photos out and see what I don't want to be anymore !

Hi All I am scheduled for February 1 one week from today ... Nervous but ready to go... Started my pre op diet today ...all good until I had to feed my 15 year old growing boy... Then it hit me ... He was awesome and told me it's going to be all right ... Holding on tight for the roller coaster ride ahead of me ????
