I'm getting sleeve in Grand Rapids Michigan 1/11/11 that is my new me date. Nervous a bit but excited for the results this spring & summer. I wish you all the best

I agree this is not going to be easy. I like your post! I'm getting sleeve 1/11/11 I think I've felt "guilty" all my life for being overweight. I've felt I had NO will power and couldn't change anything about myself. The sleeve is another tool, but it is not a easy way out. I still have to make decisions every time I put something in my mouth. I could completely ruin my efforts by eating donuts, ice cream and Cookies (a sweet tooth has been my downfall). But I can eat so little....and I don't want to give myself empty calories because I'm afraid of depriving my body of the nutrition it needs. Before I could eat the healthy foods and still eat the sweets. Now I have to choose because I don't have room for it all. Now that I've post-op for a 2-1/2 months, I don't feel guilty about my weight at all. I'm steadily losing, getting more active, and am healthier. I'm glad I invested in myself.

You are so right. I wish I had your great attitude on doing what you feel is right for you. I also worry what people think. I'm always trying to please others and care what they think of me. But I do need to stand my ground and remind myself that this is my life and my choice. How is it hurting anyone else by our bettering ourselves.

I'M GETTING SLEEVED IN JANUARY TOO. I LIKE THE CLEASING FAST IDEA.

Does anyone have any recipes from preparing in muffins tins, that I could freeze or have on hand. I did read something awhile back but can not find recipes. If have any ideas please let me know. Having surgery Jan 11th

I'm getting sleeved January 11th in Grand Rapids Michigan. Nervous and excited too!

Hello, I get sleeved jan 11th and I get to go over everything Dec 22nd so the time is coming quickly. Bit nervous but yet excited>quote name='TynMcsMom' timestamp='1290435186' post='93980'] Hi, I'm new to this site too. I am not sure my date but am looking to go in January (hopefully). I just had a 5 hour class about the procedure and it made me a bit nervous. Does anyone else worry about the lifestyle change? Maybe the class was a bit overwhelming but it sure made me think about everything that I would be giving up. But then again, think about what I will be gaining... I guess I just need some time to process. Thanks for letting me ramble on...
