Hey everyone!! I have been on a steady pre-op weight decline with the help of some YouTube group buddies. We have been keeping eachother motivated and focused, while having fun. I am on YT under the same name as here.

Also, the videoing has given me a good distraction from my surgery, but now I have started thinking about it more again.

I find that I am having some anxieties about even having the surgery now...probably because I have been losing weight successfully without it. However, I know that long term control is my problem and my focus is to take off the weight to control my diabetes and possibly be rid of it forever.

I have not been as active here because of the YT thing and trying to distract myself, but this last week it has not worked so well. My mind is consumed once again LOL.

I will be in the USA for a visit to Colorado in April...and one week - just one week after I get back I will be in the hospital and having my Sleeve. My 19 year old is talking about coming to keep me company during the healing process. It will be comforting I think.

Wish me luck, my goal for this month is 240 and I am now 249. Peace and love to you all.

Rob

    Best wishes Rob, I think we all get a little consumed right before surgery. Stay focused, and know you are going to do fabulous with the sleeve for the LONG HAUL.

    240 man you have me beat already..... I started at 311 .... the 1st two weeks you will find you can only eat very very little and feel comfortable. They tell me it eases up after that and tonight I felt it was starting to happen. Good luck and get some liquid tylenol after day one I took some and slept like a baby. For the first 3 days I felt like I had a lot of acid so I also took some acid reducers. Outside of that everything was great. Hope yours is just as good.
