Yea my surgeon made the comment that 50% of people who start the journey don’t make it to where we are. So if you’re doubting yourself right now, chew on that. It actually really boosted me from my doubts. I can do this. We can do this. We all want it and want success and a healthier life.

Oh wow, that's one heck of a statistic... makes me feel better even about how far I've come so far! I'm really glad you shared this, and yes, you're totally right... we want it, and we can all do it! *flexes*

Got my surgery 'soft scheduled' yesterday for June 17th. Just waiting on final insurance approval to get it set in stone!

My nutritionist said something similar. I guess quite a few people bail the month before. I do have to admit, I want to get it over with before I psych myself out.

Girl we got this!! I've been doing the same thing lol. My wonderful kids remind me that I'm fat all the time and that I need this to be able to be a good mom. I'll be healthy and show them how to live healthy. We are all surgery siblings so that means we will always lift each other up.

Yes. All patients at my office have to do a minimum of one week of liquids. I think BMI >50 have to do 2 weeks of liquids. During that week I am allowed to have one cup of fruit and one cup of veggies a day too.

Hello all, I've been on this site since Feb, when I started my gastric sleeve journey. I have enjoy reading all the information and encouragement given here. I really enjoyed reading when people received their surgery date and wonder what I will feel like on the day I get mine. Well that day came today...5 June is the day. Now I truly understand what "nervousness and excitement" combined feels like. Wish me luck.
