Any May 2014 sleevers?

[Kimber262 2]

Hi there! My insurance is requiring 10% weight loss before my surgery can be scheduled. I'm at my last 5 lbs or so and I have not been able to lose it. So frustrating! Any tips? I want to schedule soon!!

My surgery is May 15th. Yikes! This is my second. I had a lap band in 2011 that had to be removed 7 months later, so I'm nervous and excited.

I'm scheduled for May 8th. Nerves are all over the place! Been on pre op diet since April 25th, and have lost 7lbs, trying to make it to Thursday,just get lightheaded at times, drinking Vitamin Water zero for electrolytes. "I really can't believe I'm doing this", which from what I've read, goes through most everyone's mind. I pray for all of us who take this bold step! Sending positive thoughts your way!

My surgery is May 14th. My preop diet started on Wednesday and it is full liquids for 1 week then Clear Liquids for a week. I have lost 9 lbs so far. I had to go grocery shopping for my family today and had been doing well but broke down to tears in the store. I felt so hungry. I keep reminding myself that it is all worth it, but I just want to eat. I already feel like a failure. Anyone else out there feeling weak?

Joybell, I am not sure why there are such variety of pre-op diets out there. My surgery is on the 15th and all I am required is to limit my carbs to 40 grams or less, thats not net carbs though. Perhaps they want you to maximize the weight loss prior to the surgery for safety. Of course you have to do what they require and good luck, just 10 more days. When I want to cheat I remind myself that my life depend on It. I wish I had constructive suggestions to help you beside going on YouTube and watching the success stories. Sound like you have lots to live for. Good luck, I'll be thinking of you on the 14th.
