Day Dreamer

:Worried: I have been researching complications and WOW ... ok now I am officially scared. I mean, I knew there would be risk but *gulp* the more I learn, the more I psych myself out of it. Anyone else done this?!?!

*7* days till surgery... yeah a little freaked out, but excited to start my journey!

*Surgery Time* wow ok here we go - off to the hospital!! Should be home Wednesday!! Thank you all for the support <3

20 lbs from goal.. getting super hard to lose now, but not impossible. These are the times when you have to really push through.

3 1/2 months out - HELLO ONEDERLAND! Now the loss is slowing down; have to work harder!!!

3 months out and some days I am starving. I can eat a ton of food. Not fair - This is a freaking mind game!!! It sucks!

3 week sleeve-versary Down almost 30 lbs. Feeling much better. Gulping water - oh yeah!

6 month surgiversary... it is basically back to normal life - but in smaller quantities. There is nothing I simply cannot eat. Although I do not eat bread or pasta anymore; my choice. Overall, doing good and in good spirits. Plus, I get to shop in the JR's section now hahaha! Always a plus!!

6 weeks post op! Stall, stall, stall - the ultimate 4 letter bad word! This is getting crazy. I stall every other week now. Really questioning if this will work for the long run. Hmmmm

6+ months out: Eating like a mad cow. I can literally eat a half box of crackers with laughing cow cheese. Mindless eating will crush any hopes of weight loss, for sure. Your Sleeve won't stop you from eating 6 months out if your head is still messing you up. UGH What is going on in my crazy head?!? I need to work these food issues out ASAP. If you are just starting your journey, please work on your food issues early on. They do haunt you later if you don't resolve them.

About to make some naughty bits for Father's Day. Too bad I won't be enjoying any of them!!

Almost 3 months out now. Doing good. Have to really be careful not to take one bite too many... -5 lbs to Onderland! WOW

Ate like a wild pig this weekend. Getting back on track today though!! -2 lbs / week #219

BMI 25 NORMAL?!?!? Yay yay yay! Finally!

Cheated in a big way and feeling beyond guilty... I would call this "Eater's Remorse" ugh

Couldn't find SUGAR FREE fudgy pops... is NO SUGAR ADDED fudgy pops OK for week 2?

Day ??? (maybe 4) of my Helidac therapy! Tummy hurts and feel like poo, so I need to stick it out for another 10 days - surgery is right around the corner.

Day 4 pre op diet (of 18 - started early) Everything is going well. 2 shakes per day and 1 regular low carb meal. Tummy adjusting and headaches - but otherwise doing GREEEEAT!

Did you have your surgery?? Hope all is well with you

Doing my pre-op EKG and Chest X-ray today... woot woot getting closer!

Doing well. Still on full liquids, though adding some mushies this wknd. -7 lbs from last weeks weigh in. Overall: happy.

Doubled over in pain... can't eat. Back on clear liquids for 48 hours. SIGH

Eating regularly - finally. Just have to learn to eat right and in moderation. My Sleeve really doesn't stop me from eating much - he isn't picky at all anymore LOL Well that just means I have to work harder!! #221 oh yeah!

Feeling a bit dizzy.. I worry that post op will be much worse b/c I get this a lot. B - egg white, L - protein shake, 46oz H2O already. yuck

Full liquids? It is like heaven after 2 weeks of chicken broth!!! Bah da ta da... I'm luv'n it.. LOL
