Hi Sandy,

I'm 32 and I just started my diet to hot my pre op goal weight. They won't let me snack. ????. I've lost 5 lbs in three days so it must be working.

I'm undivided between the sleeve and bypass. How are you making your decision?

Congrats on taking the first step to the new you and your journey! It's such an amaznig life-changing experience if you utilize the surgery to its full potential. Welcome and good luck!

Hi casper, I am still doing my own research about both and going to go over both in detail with the surgeon Tuesday and come to a conclusion then. I want to do what is best for me. I have a lot of comorbidities so the bypass might be better. Hmm I just don't know lol

When I saw my doctor for the first time we talked about what surgery would work best for the weight I needed to lose. I had the sleeve done. I am a month post-op and I have no regrets it second questions about my choice. It took me a long time to cut out the soda so great job on that! Definitely a necessity! Good luck with your appointment!

I'm old enough to be your mother but I'm hoping to have an appointment with the surgeon sometime soon. I go for my psych evaluation next week. That's the last thing I need to do to complete the paperwork so I'm hoping it won't be long after that. I can't have surgery until October though. I won't have my portion of the money until my medical flex spending account renews for the year.

I'm excited. Starting July 1, I'm going to try to give up soft drinks and start trying different Protein drinks. Pre-op diet is my biggest fear. I do not like Protein Drinks.....too chalky! If anyone knows of a good one, please share!!

By the way--you can quit smoking!! I've done it twice. Although I still have cravings for cigarettes, I just try to focus on something else during that short burst of craving. Good luck!!
