Hi Marsha,

I totally understand where you are coming from.  I too have gained about 20 pounds from where I feel is a good place for me.  I just went to PNC for my 4 year check up and the bariatric MD told me the same thing that others have said to you.  Keep in mind where you started and also that you have kept of over 100 pounds that you lost. 

I am going back to the basics too. I have gotten away from them and I need to get back to what worked from the get-go!  Don't be too hard on yourself.  I am trying to be nicer to myself as well and remember what a great thing I did for me.  You can do it!  Sounds like you have a good start to getting back on the track you want to be on.

I have come back here to get the support and to re-connect with some great OH friends I have lost contact with.   This is the best place to be to find support from people that know where you are coming from!

Excellent news!  I hope is speeds you through the process and you are on your way soon!  Good luck!

Thanks everyone...I found out that I meet with the dietician and RN to discuss my pre-op and post op eating schedule....I will know more then....I am thinking that I have protein shakes worked into the diet some where....I will definitely keep you posted and I hope that the sleeve treats me as well as it has treated everyone else....

 I haven't been to PNC's support group meeting in over a year and want to go today. Anyone know what time it starts? Nurse said 6pm but the website says 5:30. Just curious!

Can't help with the clear liquid/protein thing because I only had to do 1 day of it. But, I'm so happy to hear you got your date. Be sure to keep us posted as the time draws near. You're going to love love love your sleeve.
