Thanks Chelenka. My best friend from college is a pcp at a bariatric center in Nevada and she just happend to send me a text late last night telling me the dangers of not staying hydrated so now I'm walking around with two travel mugs, one with Water and the other with watered down grape juice.< /p>

I have to think about this for a second.....yea, I think I am 57. I never think of the number anymore..Having my surgery Sept 10th. I am so excited. Since I have made up my mind to do this and get my date, I have been putting weight on. I am reading about how most everyone has done the pre-diet. I was told I didn't need to but now I think I better check on this since I have been gaining. Will be so glad to get this behind me, all I do in my spare time is read the forums. I never even thought anything about doing this "at my age" until I read that others have questioned it. I am still hip and love living life. I have lots of traveling to do and looking mighty fine doing it. Looking forward to being able to pack a smaller suit case!!!!

I went on a farewell tour of all my favorite restaurants and ate all my favorite foods the 3 months before surgery...LOL! But, my surgeon required 2 weeks of an opti-fast liquid diet leading up to surgery so I pretty much lost everything I had gained. Good luck to you! I am loving my sleeve and life. And it IS great to pack a smaller suitcase!

[Rena's got this 274]

I'm nearly half way through my 6 month diet requirement, and I have lost 7 pounds without trying this past month and a half. Somehow, at age 56, I managed to get Mono, and seem to have lost my appetite along with what energy I had. Anyway, I would also like to start the farewell tour of all my favorite restaurants, if I can manage to go and actually enjoy eating all my favorite foods. Doc says it might take 3 months for me to get my energy back, so we'll see. That will be around the time I finish this "diet" requirement and can get a surgery date!

Next summer....going on a cruise in a much smaller swimsuit! Knock on wood...
