Lots Of Hope

Goodmorning friend! Have a great day.

Hi, mine is on Friday. I do understand. I am very excited, nervous, impatient, grouchy, scared, obsessed with thinking about it, etc etc. I just keep reading other peoples post. It's hard not to be a little crazy with this. It's going to be life changing and that is big. My husband reminds me that I always resist change, and this is what it is....that is exactly what we want. We also know that we have a lot of hard work ahead of us, and that can seem overwhelming to those with already crazy lives. I hope this helps and I am not way off. Good luck, I am right here with you.

Prayed for you and will keep praying until we hear more.

Thanks , You are all in my prayers! I also need yours.

Amen... I will pray for you! And us.

My doc said three protein drinks, three bars, and all the salad, carrots, or cucumber I need for chewing. Many different plans. You lost 10 lbs...you have shrunk you liver!!!!! Good Luck Tuesday? Chicken is protein, so you did great! Just tell your dr tomorrow, so he can reassure you if you need.

My kids and husband still get all the junk they need, but outside of the house. Maybe just ask him for help until your cravings are better, or pick the junk you don't like. My family is having pizza right now, and before my husband ordered, he ask me if I would like to go and take a nice relaxing bath. I got the hint, so here it am. Let me know if you find something that works for you. I don't think it's about will power at first, it's about learning how to be the most successful you can be with your life and personality. Good Luck. I am struggling along side ya!

Mandems mom, I hope to be like you someday, but until then I try to set myself up for success. My husband knows it is my issue...as everybody who sees me, but I am glad that they are willing to support me that way. Humor helps too! It's a change for my whole family. Thats the way we hang.

Did you say key lime pound cake? Ok...positive affirmations ladies!!!!!

Get a big black trash bag and stuff it all in there!!! If he runs....chase him...it will be good exercise. Sort of kidding. I have to t hrow out a lot of food that my husband buys bc I can't handle it. I am only prep so I am sure that iis really hard . Ask him what color swimsuit he want to see you in..then say if he does, he needs to eat it in the garage.

I am right there/ here with you!!!! You have not failed!!!!or we rather. We have learned and are moving on. We have succeeded in making the choice. We must have needed that lesson, so time to move forward with the next. I am five days away from my date. I have lost 4 lbs. It's not 10 plus, but is 4 more lbs that I never will have again. Let's just do it, and complain a lot if needed. I think that everybody here gets it Kerry. Complain, be hungry, but let's just do it. Smile, I am sure our kids and the park is just what we need. I have three who love to squeeze me all day. I can't wait until I can catch up to them at the park.

Yup! Thanks .

Ok....so every morning I get on my stationary bike and read your comments and it is my prozac for the day ( sometimes I even pedal). JK I am still going slow, but starting good habits. My husband is supportive, but he is tired of hearing about all I learn from here. Keep posting everybody......it helps soooooo much! I thank God everyday for your support. My date with my surgeon is this friday.

Hi all, my sleeve date is Friday the 6th. I am excited, nervous, obsessed, impatient......etc etc. I just keep reminding myself that what I have been doing has not worked, so I have to move forward. I am most afraid that it won't work for me, or I won't lose as much weight as everybody here or that I will still be hungry all time (like I am now on the pre op diet.).

Thanks !

Hi, anybody else having sleeve here? Has anybody else had it done at Same day surgery center?

Hi , anybody have Dr. Braverman in OC?

Hi, I have always been hungry and like food and wine. I kept it off with phen, exersize and starving myself. Gold member at all weight loss centers! I was never at my ideal weight, but never obese. However, I am always one more bite to a million pounds. Weight always came back. Always dieted like all california girls. Then, reached 35 and three kids and it is an impossible struggle. My sleeve is next week with Dr. Braverman. I like him and trust him. I am at my highest wt still after a year and can't get it off.(200 and 5'4) My insurance will not pay because I have not been officially obese for two years. My husband and I took out a loan because it is so important to me. I decided not to wait for comorbidities or other complications of obesity. My mom, dad , brother, etc.. Are all morbidly obese. I am tired of avoiding thin people because of my insecurities. I want to go places with my husband and kids and focus on us, not my insecurities. I hope this will help me. I just don't want to be always hungry and feeling like a failure. This is why I choose the sleeve. I can use the support from this site. My friends do not agree, and one has even stopes talking to me because she was my dieting partner. Thanks for reading!

Oh ...and my husband and I will be paying it off FOREVER

Hi, I am 5'4 194 and getting my sleeve next Friday. I have 80 to lose...for good this time.
