Anyone going around that time? I'm going to Dr. M. Doesn't feel real yet. Lol Maybe it will when I buy my plane ticket.

im 8 months post op too woo woo! Good for you!

Hey all, I had my sleeve done on Jan 5th and going through a stall now as I introduce solids back into my diet. My starting bmi was 34. I am reaching out to sleeved friends for support and essentially being told "what did I expect?" Deep down i know the stall is temporary but another part of me is wondering is it true. That I won't lose weight or re gain lol of it back because the surgery was not meant for me? I'm asking for or some advice please

We have almost exact stats that is out of this world! Glad to hear about the progress!

Just wanted to update you all. that it was just a stall that ended a week or so after i posted this and most likely due to my low water intake. my friends and i have patched things up. changes may sometimes bring out the worst in your friends but rifts are what friendships are made up. thank you all!

Thank you all for your supportive words. I'm going to up my exercise and confront my "friends" to get out of this rut.

I'm not sure if This is meant to be cheeky. I'm sensitive right is And count could be reading into things but I'm aware what a low bmi is. I'm obviously referring to the context of gastric sleeve where a low starting bmi is under 35.

I don't plan on telling a soul. Not even my mom except maybe to say I'm going to Mexico for the weekend and to check up on me. Any vets who went the same route? How did you deal with questions? Any pre-op folks deciding to keep it to themselves?

5th here. I'm so ready! Lol

I am on a forum with several wls patients. I don't have to make my family or friends my support system.

I'm scared too but it is a necessary evil lol. I just hold my breath and look away also.

I am scheduled for Jan 5th at long term VSG with Dr. M. It ranges from 3000 to 4000 + depending on length and location of stay and promotional dates.

Still doesn't feel real lol. I'm more emotional over the fact I tried to find two sweatsuits so I could look cute at the airport but the Boxing Day sales have been awful af. I don't want to look dusty coming home with my new stomach lol.

I'm not even nervous lol. I hope I don't ever begin to be. I can't wait lol

I'm from Canada also. Scheduled for January. You have plenty of time! I just decided this a few months ago.

I love this damn thread! Congrats to you all!

You don't have to tell anyone anything.

5th!

We are the same age! And I'm also scheduled for January. On the 5th! Good luck!

This is kind of a spin off from @@hdsjourney topic. What did you guys put in your fridge/ groceries did you buy for your post op clear liquid/ full liquid phases? I want to be prepared but know my appetite/cravings/taste buds might change dramatically. I've gotten bouillon cubes and sugar free popsicles so far. Plan on getting clear Protein powder and an assortment of Protein drinks to try when I get back so I know what to stock up on.

I told a friend tonight so much for keeping it a secret. They were surprisingly supportive. I still wish I hadn't said anything with my big mouth lmao

Great topic! Can't wait to see responses so far all I've packed is a travel pillow and blanket lol.

Thank you! I am just so used to disappointing myself. But I am working hard to get over myself so I don't sabotage my progress.

For self pays/ those that don't have to do a pre-op diet and those who have not begun their pre op diet. How are you enjoying your days before the big change? If at all? I feel kind of guilty eating anything outside of low carb even though I won't have this luxury in a few weeks. It's becoming more obvious that I don't necessarily enjoy the types of foods I eat but am dependent and crave it. Makes me feel sad but even more so excited that I'll have a physical repellent to help me correct my eating habits.

SMH... Well, that's one interpretation. Good luck to you. What is this? Keep your negativity to yourself.
