jhemp85 106 Posted December 14, 2016 Took my before picture yesterday! Beforevsg.jpgYay! How is the pre-op diet going for you? I am going to take my before photos as well!So far so good. I am trying to stomach 2 shakes a day and one meal, but working my way to that. Instead I do one shake, one Protein rich snack and then a protein rich dinner. I'm finding an easier time that way. Haven't cut caffeine totally but have cut out Coca cola completely and stopped smoking. I'm on day 3 and not feeling unsatisfied and feeling pretty proud of myself. When I weighed at the docs office Thursday I was 428. On my own scale today I was 418! Can't wait to see your before pics And especially your after pics.

charlies.angel 17 Posted December 14, 2016 I have just begun my process, and my surgeon thinks I will have a date in early may [emoji4] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FamilyGuyNJ 123 Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) I'm scheduled for 2/13/17. My first appointment was back on 10/13. After that appointment, I stopped snacking and drinking alcohol. I started using MyFitnessPal to track calories. I managed to lose a quick 30 pounds in two months. The first 30 lbs is always the easiest to lose and the quickest to regain. I figured that I'll lose the "easy" weight on my own and then get help from the sleeve to finish the job. I hope to have lost 50 lbs before the time of surgery.

madamem00 6 Posted December 15, 2016 Have to wait till Sept 2017. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I know that seems so long but the time will go by fast. I first started looking into this with my current doctor was last December and it seems like it was last month I inquired about the surgery. What helped me pass the time was getting information, watching youtube and making sure I am mentally and emotionally prepared for this journey after surgery.I will I don't have the date yet I'm hoping in January : )I hope you are able to get your January date! Thanks xxx that's exactly what I am doing... Going through the motions and making sure I'm really set up to succeed.

bossportsgal 136 Posted December 15, 2016 This is my third time with a scheduled surgery date. It is truly important to do the research and you must feel ready mentally and physically. I know now nothing is stopping me. Life is too short to live it. And to live it long and healthy! Scheduled date Jan 11 and I wish it was today! I'm actually dreading the liquid prep but glad I only have to do it a week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amylynn1978 5 Posted December 16, 2016 I'm hoping for March or April. I've gotten everything done but need to bring my A1C down to a 7 or below. Started out in August with it being 9.1 and November it was down to a 7.7. Any ideas on how to bring it down? I'm trying so hard! It's frustrating!
