So my date is set for 3/24/11. Getting is done @ Saint Josephs with Dr. Quillici. Anyone else in the Los Angeles area getting the surgery around the same time? Looking for fellow peeps to try and support one another.

I start my pre-op this thursday....800-1000 liquid diet. I am still trying to get into a positive mindset with this surgery. Still trying to get my wife to support me on this, but yes, I am excited and anxious for the procedure.

My pre-op is 2 Protein shakes and 1 meal at lunch consisting of chicken or fish and 1 cup of steamed veggies and Water. If I can get through this, I will be okay. I have been trying to cut back to sort of prepare me. How much do you want to lose? I am hoping to lose at least 75 lbs. Ideally, I need to lose 100lbs. Gosh, with this pre-op diet, I should drop 10 or 15 lbs. We will see how it goes. Keep in touch and give me all the details of how it's going. My husband is not real supportive in much of anything I do, he just wants me to be thin again....whatever it takes.I have had to have 2 foot surgeries in the past year and after each one, I have put on 15+ lbs. and it just won't go away. Well keep strong and know that WE can do this!!! Talk to you soon.

March 24th, Texas.

shake for Breakfast, snack and a light lunch and supper.

Having issues trying to find stuff to make. Have 3 kids that like 3 different meals.

Picky eaters.

Hoping to change all of their bad habits along with mine.

Good luck to us all.

After trying everything else, this is my last resort. I wanted the gastric sleeve but you know insurance.

So here I go. Just trying not to get discouraged by all of those out there that have had it done and still

seem to be struggling with their weight.
