livsmom 5 Posted March 11, 2016 I am so very very excited! My surgery day was confirmed just today! March 17! I am having my surgery at the Obesity Control Center in Mexico. I have wanted to do this for such a very long time... I first looked into WLS back in 2008, and first contacted the surgical center I am going through almost two years ago, but I was unable to proceed for financial reasons. I am so ready to feel better! to feel good in my body! I have been creeping on this site for a loooong time. feels good to have started the journey, and to be interacting with all of you beautiful people. Cheers! FYI: I live in California, Surgery in TJ, Age:35, BMI: 40 We got this!! I'm having my surgery the 24th of March at Obesity Control Center! You are a week ahead of me....so exciting! Ready for a new you?? I'm sure ready for a new me! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

justaboutme 42 Posted March 12, 2016 I'm on day 6 of 14 of the liquid phase and I'm about over these Protein shakes! Never want to see another one when I'm done with this! Monday I go for my pre-op testing and then on the 21st I will be getting the sleeve. Every time I get fed up with the shakes, I just remember why I'm doing this and think of how the surgery will change my life for the good. Besides that, I'm down 9 pounds in 6 days!

LeeClair 1 Posted March 13, 2016 Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and hoping to find friendship and support with others who are on and been through the same journey. I'm currently on the Optifast regime and I'm scheduled to have my gastric sleeve on 23/03/2016 (10 days) in Newcastle NSW Australia. I guess from reading, I'm going through all the same feelings and emotions that everyone else has been through, SCARED about not knowing how I will feel immediately after the operation and how I will cope in the weeks and months to come, BUT I'm also EXCITED about the possibility of a new healthy me. I've been obese for so long and tried so many diets and always regained my weight back again, each time that little more depressed and disappointed with myself - a spiralling vicious cycle. I just can't imagine what it will feel like to be a normal weight and the possibility of actually loosing weight this time and being able to maintain the weight loss sounds like a miracle. If anyone has any tips or encouragement to help with the next 10 days before surgery I would love to hear from you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
