CALLING ALL JULY 2016 SLEEVERS

[Sugary Sweetheart 97]

I went to 2 support groups this week. Both were good but the 1 that was better is not at the hospital I'm having my surgery at. I'm having my surgery at the other but I think I'm switching support groups... is that unfair to me? others?

I enjoy this support group and the one on FB.

@@Sugary Sweetheart What made one better than the other? I actually belong to a few different Facebook support groups and I have noticed that some are more informative and supportive than the other, which can have a very negative feel at times.

Just scheduled mine for 7/1/16...I'm excited, nervous and scared!

Mine is on the 7th. Can't believe it's finally almost here. Such a long journey. I start my liquid diet this Thursday. Don't know how I'm going to deal with liquid for 2 weeks.

I am trying to get mine schedule for July! I had done everything I need to and my pre-op appointment is July 6th! Praying all goes well and I will have surgery on July 18th!!

How do you plan on explaining your weight loss after the surgery? Are you planning on telling people you had the surgery or another reason? I am on the fence on how I will explain it, especially since there are so many that criticize the surgery.

I have a surgery date of 7/11 and the pre op diet is a low carb, high Protein diet. I'm on the second week and am losing well. I've been fairly open about having surgery so if anyone asks I'll be honest. If they give me any flack I'll tell them what they can do with it.

[BPNY21 13]

I've been very open about my surgery. I don't feel it's right to tell people I lost weight with diet and exercise like a friend of my does. My surgery is not something I'm ashamed of and there are people who try to talk me out of it by saying they know so and so who gained it all back or died I just listen and go about my business

I'll tell the truth, I've been eating more healthily and eating less.
