My Current weight now is 205.5 this am and my goal weight would be 130-135..I don't even remember being this weight and if I was it was not for long. I started gaining my weight being put on anti-depressants when I was 19. I have the mindset that this is going to happen !! Life changing surgery and all !!! :rolleyes:

I'm November 6th :)

I'm November 6th also! I just got my insurance approval today!! Im so excited! I'm having my surgery in Okc. I'm 28 yrs old. I have 2 small children. 1 was a csection so I'm hoping the sleeve will be easy. My weight really spun out of control after I had kids. I'm 5'2" and currently weigh 208lbs. My goal is 130lbs. I have high cholesterol and sleep apnea. I'm so ready to start this new chapter in my life and be able to keep up with my kids. I'm tired of being absent from all the family pictures. I'm ready for the new me!

I think it's the perfect time of year to be having the surgery. I don't have to worry about gaining weight from all the holiday meals! It will be the first time in I don't know long that I will actually loose weight over Thanksgiving and Christmas.... I can't wait!

Im here! Got my band out Sept 12, 2013 and was supposed to have a bypass. Dr says he can't do the bypass due to malrotation of my intestines so sleeve here I come!! I got approval last Friday and my surgery is officially scheduled for Nov 5th at 9am. Im excited and terrified and not looking forward to yet another pre-op diet. But I lost 125 lbs with the band, then gained 80-90 lbs back and I am SO ready to see it go! See ya on the losers bench!! Kayla

November buddies, I found most of my Vitamins at costco for great prices !! Bottle of sublingual Kirkland brand B-12 - actually tastes great!

I also bought the Kirkland brand of calcium chews - they also taste great! I was also able to find flinestones chewable a complete Multivitamins at Costco which is what my dr recommends ... So far day 2 of all those and I'm feeling ok ! Want to get in the habit before surgery !

I am so glad you wrote this - I looked at those the other day and wondered how they were. I liked the price!

Thanks for sharing! Going shopping soon!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
