Sup all...I currently pre-op working through my checklist of all the medical test and screenings. I am shooting to get a surgery date in April/May. I see there hasn't been any post in this area in a long time. Hopefully I can connect with patients in my age group, but Any age is welcome though. Holla if you want. In the meantime, I will keep checking out post in other areas.

Hi blev! Yes I will post a recent full body pic later. My belly area is last to go but it is disappearing slowly but surely! I know I am still far from goal but it feels good to be where I am!

Back when I originally posted this, I really was hating food and eating. I am glad to say it gets better. I am no longer have that problem. Now the problem is finding the foods that my stomach can digest with little or no problem. I have be careful also not to overeat. I still can't consume much but my body craves the extra calories because I have increased my workouts. Just know it gets better. I am 11 months post op. For me I started enjoying food again around 7 or 8 months out. Before that I ate only because I knew I had to. Everyone is different and I hope you all start enjoying food (reasonably) soon!

Maybe it's because I am in the pureed stage, but I am hating eating right now. I was so excited to move from the protein shake to the pureed foods, but now I'd rather have the protein shake. I surely hope this changes. I guess I need to go read some posts to see what others are saying about their experiences.

I am still adjusting to food. The taste of chicken has gotten better I am happy to report. I tried a strip of bacon with my morning boiled egg and wheat toast for the first time post-op and was highly disappointed. My saving grace is that I do like turkey bacon. Go figure. My list of foods is still very short at the moment. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using the BariatricPal App

Hi Adelaide! Welcome. May 17th will be here before you know it. Good luck! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using the BariatricPal App

Thank msujester...definitely going to check out your write up!

This is my last weekend before my surgery on Monday. I don't know what to do with myself! LOL

I am from Sacramento, CA. My surgery date of April 19th just got pushed back to April 25th. I'd rather had it moved up, but I'm still good to go in April. No more setbacks!

Hello. April 19th RNY here with pre-op on April 13th. Congrats and good luck to all on up coming surgeries!

Wow msujester! How exciting! Congrats and much success to you! I hope you'll keep us posted on your progress.

I got a surgery date of April 19th! I'm ready!

I got a surgery date! April 19th! I am so ready!

Awesome Linda! Good luck and please keep us updated!

No surgery date for me yet. I am still optimistic and am looking forward. I'm still dropping pounds and will exceed my pre-op goal soon. As soon as I get a date I will let everyone know.

Good luck to those with upcoming surgery dates. I had an angiogram procedure this past week that has set me back, but I am back on track and hope to get a surgery date soon.

Same to you Catalina! [emoji41]

Hi Kats. Thanks. I need the luck. I just hit a slight snag. I have to have some blockage cleared from an artery before I can proceed. But I am glad I am finding out now. After that I should be able to get a surgery date. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using the BariatricPal App
