Well guys it’s my first official day on this life adventure. Today I start my liquid diet and Surgery is March 7 wish me luck

Use your fear and negative mindset to your advantage. Instead of saying....what if I die of this surgery? (you won't)....say to yourself....Statistically, if I continue to be obese I am at greater risk for heart disease, stroke and cancer. Be more afraid of the effects of remaining obese. It's statistically much smarter to be afraid of heart disease, stroke and cancer....than a surgery with less morbidity than gallstone surgery. Also...they tested the heck out of you. EKG, bloodwork, chest films, GI study.... Having a life threatening surprise under these circumstances is almost unheard of.

@Nanajoy@Sammy 10-30 glad you both are enjoying Bariatric Plan. ask any and alll of your questions suggest maybe use the SEARCH button in top right hand corner you will find that many OP have already asked the same ?, and you can learn from them. you will get answers, opinions, experiences and more many responses will be different because we are all supposed to do only what our NUT tells us to do never compare yourself to others - you'll learn many important/valuable things here. after listening to OP, medical questions should be asked and answered by your doc or NUT good luck kathy

My sleeve is scheduled for this thursday and I 100% percent am certain I want to do it but my anxiety is awful. I’ve never had surgery before and i just keeping running the worst case scenarios through my head. Can anyone tell me what helped them calm their nerves and re-assure them. I don’t want to go in with such a negative mindset.

I hope you are ok. Thanks for sharing what happened.

Totally normal! Your body's putting a LOT of energy into healing right now, getting used to a huge drop in calories, and trying to figure out why it's losing so much weight so quickly (which will cause the stall that's coming, so don't freak out about that when it happens!).

I’m starting my 6th week post op and dr also told me no picking up anything over 20 lbs but to walk walk walk everyday it helps for u to recover faster and also to avoid getting blood clots walking is exercise.

I'm 3 months out,yes I think it is normal. Remember you are healing take time to rest. Naps are really ok[emoji4] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

One week! woohoo. Your Dr will release you. He/she will give you instructions on how much weight to lift when you start to heal. Rest up after surgery!

I knowwww, I feel like we got in WAY too early and now we have to sit and wait for the general public release lol. But, they just posted a new teaser trailer on their facebook!
