Wow, its great to hear from other sleevers in the area. I'm also on Aug 6th, at fair oaks. I can't believe it is only a week away....I'm nervous and excited. I agree the sleeve is a tool and I'm ready for the life style change for me and my whole family. We should keeping in touch on how things go. I do plan on attending support groups at fairoaks. Good luck to you all

I am so excited I have only one more nut appointment on monday, then my 6 mths are done and my stuff is being sent in to insurance wow it was always a distant thing
(the end) but now its here... Sweet!

Haha!!

So I spent the day at the hospital for my preop stuff. 7 am: chest cray, gallbladder ultrasound, blood work, urine work, ekg. 9-12: nutrition class at hospital. 1:15: nurse interview. 2-4: nutrition class at my surgeons office. It was a long day, but I learned a lot. It is also my 4th day of liquids and I am feeling cramps in my stomach, but over all ok. TMI: my BM's are weird. All my test result came out normal, so I am ready!
QOTD: I would totally get together next summer with our group.

My fitness pal name is pbll (2L's)...feel free to add me. I'm new to that app/program I tried to add some of u ladies...

My doctor says my goal weight should be 170, so I will feel good if I get to that. Which would be amazing since I haven't been under 200 in over 10 years.
***my first day of liquids went well

I decide to look into surgery, because I had been thinking about it for a few years and finally at age 30, I decided it was time. I called to find out about the seminar it was that Saturday so I went. At the seminar I signed up for a consultation that next week and I joined and started my 6 mths. Honestly my doctor suggested the sleeve. At the seminar they said if you are a snacker or over eater then the band is not for you, and the sleeve seemed severe so I went in thinking bypass. Which I now know bypass is much more intense than the sleeve. But my doctor said he thinks I should do the sleeve and that I was not in need of bypass....and here I am about 2 weeks away from surgery now

My last meal...well I have 2. I had one this past weekend at my favorite steak place with yummy Buns and chopped salad. Now my true last meal will be cheesecake factory chipotle Pasta and of course a piece of chocolate cheesecake....do I have to have this before I start preop?

I want to show off in front of all my old high school friends/ acquaintances that I haven't seen in years

Add me to the list :) I just got scheduled this morning for Aug 6th... can't wait!

Umm...I'm doing horrible at eating right. I am not yet at my 2 weeks preop but over the last few months I have been eating poorly, what ever I want in large quantities...its bad I wish it was easier to just stop, but that's one reason I'm having the surgery for the restiction to help me stop!

U look great!

This is what is wrong with America, all the good healthy food- fruits and veggies- are to expensive to buy. So many people have to eat cheaper which means bad choices...this is one major reason for the rise in childhood obesity. If a family has $12 to.eat dinner, they can either all eat off the dollar menu at mcdonalds or buy like a few apples and potatoes. Sorry I went so deep...haha

sleep study done...I did it last night,and I didn't have to be put on a cpap machine..woohoo.... It was like the worst night of sleep though. I could not get comfortable and the 2 different nasal canulas up my nose didn't help. I could bearly breath. But one more thing done and off the checklist!

I'm not on the pre-op diet yet, but I feel you...I'm totally worried about doing it and staying on it...totally addicted to food as well...you r almost there u can do it!

Hopefully my spare tire roll will be gone and I want to wear some nice blue jeans and a plain ole fitted t-shirt.

Also I can't wait to not be bigger than my husband. I want him to be able to pick me up...literally off the ground...lol

I can't wait to not have to over think everything...from what am I gonna wear, what if I don't fit in the chair, what if I look like an idiot, where to shop, etc. I'm ready to not be the biggest person in the room! Just to be normal, relaxed and go with the follow because I'm not worrying.
