Thank you.... My husband is not as supportive as I wish he would be. My occupational therapist/coworker (I am a RN) referee me to this app. She says it is a life saver.

Hi Kelly, welcome to the group! I hit my heaviest in Apr 2015 at 286, so I'm right there with you. Got my sleeve in Oct and now I'm down 90 pounds. I was the same way trying every weight loss plan out there. I probably have lost and regained close to 700 pounds. I'm 3 pounds away from the lowest I've been in 20 years. Hope to get there soon.

Good luck on your journey.

Hi! I'm completely new here, but I'm getting the sleeve done on April 25th. I'm a 38 year old mother of 3 (ages 6,4 and 2). I've been told that having a 'buddy' to go through this journey with is incredibly beneficial! I think we are on the same track - would you be interested in being my 'buddy'??

I'm from Carmel, Indiana

Stay at home mom (for the time being). Just got my surgery scheduled yesterday and am a little nervous, but mostly excited! Have a meeting with the nutritionist on the 12th and will have to start a pre-op diet then. I am dreading that.

I have my nutritionist appt 4/6/16. I hope I get a date then. Are you on a carb restriction diet right now? I am on 45gm carb restriction. It's hard. I start ordering single servings of Protein shakes to see which one I will use for the liquid pre-op diet. Have you found one?

[mindy1012 2]

I'm not on any restrictions right now - but I did find a good Protein shake. I got it from costco and its 30g of Protein per shake. My sis-in-law had the sleeve done about 18 months ago and it's one she recommended. They are not tooooo terrible I think it's called pure protein, but I can double check that tomorrow - I'm already in bed with my sick 6 year old next to me.
