I honestly think you should try bumping up your calories especially with the amount of exercise you are doing. Try that and see what happens. Btw, I think you are doing awesome with your weight loss!

Why the sad face after your title?? It should be tomorrow it is...:D:D:D! It's normal to be nervous but please be happy! Tomorrow is the day you have been waiting for! This is great news. The surgery is later in the day and that's ok. Try to sleep in if you can. Take the time to breathe deeply and really relax yourself. You can do it, you will be just fine. Think happy thoughts tonight. I was nervous the day before and then, I too, had a calm come over me and I was just fine when I woke up in the morning. See you on the losers bench!

That is wonderful! I am very happy for you!

Very exciting! Update when you can after surgery and let us know how you are doing!

Welcome! You will meet lots of great people on the board and get lots of wonderful advice! Keep us posted!

Great news! Thanks for sharing the family! It does feel like home, doesn't it?

Exciting! I was so happy once it was over! Now the fun begins....congratulations! See if they can give you some crushed ice, for some reason that tasted so much better to me than ice chips.

First of all, I am sorry. I know you are hurting. Looking at it from the outside it is obvious she was never a true friend to begin with. You don't need this in your life. You are on a positive track right now and you don't need negativity. I have read of others on here who have had to let "friendships" go after surgery. Not everyone will be supportive, it is sad but it is life. You will meet more friends in the future. Only allow the ones in who are really friends. Don't give up on friendship. There are many good, loving people out there who will love you for who you are. I promise. True friends will support you no matter what is going on. Hugs to you!

I'm sorry I can imagine how frustrating that must be. The good news is Monday will be here before you know it! Hang in there...only a few more days!

Wow! Great job! Thanks for sharing the pics you look great!

Good for you sticking to your guns and working through this! I am anxious to hear about what happened, I'll be looking for that post. In the meantime, keep us posted and let us know WHEN not if you are approved!

I think that is so neat that you want to have surgery together! Is it the best idea??? Not sure what to tell you. Everyone responds different to surgery and you won't know until you have it how you will be. If you don't have any kids or pets at home it may be doable. My biggest issue at home is that I am not supposed to lift for 6 weeks. Hubby and kids help with lifting the laundry and whatever else I need. Since I came home I have been getting my own drinks and "foods". I was tired after I came home and became dehydrated but didn't have any pain or nausea or anything. Keep us posted. Love the limo idea!

Great news! How nice to have an insurance company that doesn't require so many hoops to go through to have surgery! Keep us updated!

You can totally do this girl, you ARE doing this! Good for you! Thanks for sharing. Great job!

I want to add that Vitamin World has the best ever vitamin crusher and splitter! When I got mine it was right by the checkout and I saw it while I was paying. I am so glad I purchased it, it works great! Much easier and quicker than crushing by hand. I believe it was $6.99.

I completely understand about the nausea! I am soooo scared to throw up and it doesn't happen very often for me at all, only 2 times in the last 15 years. The good news for me was that I didn't have any nausea whatsoever! I was so thankful for that, I hope that you will be one of the lucky ones like I was!

Welcome! You will love your sleeve! Congrats on getting started on your WL journey, hope everything goes smoothly for you!

Welcome! Thanks for sharing your story with us! I am so happy you had such a great experience. Not sure how to do the ticker either. Now that my daughter is home from college I am going to have her help me figure it out. She just helped me change my avatar today!

Yay! So exciting! Please update as soon as you can after surgery! I nervous the night before. When I went to bed I prayed and gave all my worries to God. I woke up the next morning calm and at peace and felt that way all the way up to the time I fell asleep for surgery! It was a wonderful feeling!

Exciting! Update us after surgery and let us know how you are doing.

Hi and welcome. I'm a real person and I went to Mexico. I was sleeved on May 24th with Dr. Aceves. I did a lot of research bf I went and I had a great experience. I wish I would get paid to talk about going to Mexico, that would be great! There are a lot of people who have gone to Mexico on this board. I, too, wondered if some of the people were getting paid. I even sent a pm to ask them if they were getting paid! Feel free to pm me if you have any questions. I will even send you my phone number and you can have your family call me and I will be glad to answer any questions they may have. Take care and best of luck to you!

I would call your doctors office right now and see if there is a doctor on call that can talk to you. If not I would go to the ER. You should not be vomiting everything you put inside of you. You are probably dehydrated but there may be something else going on that is causing this. I wouldn't wait till morning. Call your doctor now or get to the ER! Please update and let us know what happens. Take care!

Don't worry people will reply sometimes it takes a little while. I don't suffer from anxiety so I can't help you there. Make sure that you talk to your doctor about this before surgery. I am sure that as long as you use your sleeve as a tool you will do just fine with losing weight! Congratulations on your date.

I'll send you a pm.

Eddie, thanks for updating I was worried about you! I know that after I was juiced up on Thursday I felt so much better. I have had a ton of energy on Friday and today. Hang in there and keep sipping your fluids. Try all kinds and see if anything works. Bf surgery I loved plain water now it just doesn't taste right. I add Crystal Light or Propel. I am hoping I can drink plain water again soon. Also, try some popsicles. Hang in there and keep us posted on how you are feeling.
