I'm in a similar boat as you. Still in the weight management phase; and i need to lose 15 lbs by August. I know its doable but its still nerve wracking.

My focus is getting approved for surgery; I'm setting my sights solely on getting the sleeve and starting my life anew.

I believe you can do it too!

Im having trouble losing the set amount of weight. Im not going to give up, but sometimes I doubt myself. How did you stay focus on losing the weight before surgery?

I have an app (myplate) on my phone that a person can set for the number of calories (mine is 1000). I track everything I eat. For instance, one I enter the premier shake by scanning the bar code, it can find it and substract from my total. Then, I track my lunch and dinner and anything in between. Also, my fitness tracker is connected so it automatically add my exercise. In this manner, I know everything I have eaten and can stay on track. Hope this helps.

My sister got sleeved in December so I call and ask for help with food and what can I do and what I can't do. I think it is good when you have buddies that you can count on. Good luck. We can do this together.

I was recently given an weight loss goal of -14 lbs. I've lost weight before but the fact that everything is starting now has given me so much anxiety. I just want a snack ( or two)!!! But I told myself I'm going to start Aqua Zumba and Water aerobics at the gym and I have to begin following the Pre Op program again...Wish me luck

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
