@grek79ltal my doctor warned me about it on one of my first visits! Ive been worried ever since. funny how your never did? did u get a folder with everything about before and after surgery? oh and by the way congrats on the weight loss!

u can do it!! its hard (i hear lol) but i know its worth it! I can imagine your anger with ur hubby eating in front of you! I would have kicked him where it hurts!! lol my hubby eats that stuff away from me but comments as he leaves "honey Im going out to get a chocolate bar, can i get u a celery stick or a tomato?" you can imagine my anger with him! lol

hey, at least the scales going DOWN not up! it will come. have you been exercising? it may help speed things up.

this is exactly what ive been worried about happening to me..ive been i guess hiding behind my weight for so long that Im scared of being skinny because of the confidence side of it. its just as much a mind transformation as a body transformation. keep it up, u look amazing and the confidence will come as u see yourself as the beautiful woman everyone else sees you as.

Im scared of that happening to me. Im glad that you made light of it and found the humor. lol makes me feel better

thanks everyone for all the helpful advice! i had horrible visions of them making me run for my life on the treadmill for who knows how long. lol I cant run at all my lungs hurt almost immediately and I cough. so this will be fun lol.

I went to my last check in appointment and was given some forms for blood work, as well as a stress test appointment all they said was i have to wear comfortable shoes. just wondering if anyone on here has had this test and what its like. I heard u have to run on a treadmill and stuff. just wanting to know more info to be prepared lol.

hello my name is Rebecka and Iam about to get sleeved in november. Ive gone through 8 months of the pre op diet and through it learned a few tricks. the drinking things was an issue for me too at first. I ended up getting a water bottle with a squirt top that is a good size. I kept it filled at all times and took sips often. when it came time to eating i wasnt thirsty at all. I also watched the salt content in my food to help with wanting to drink when eating. hope this helps!

well here Iam on week 2 of my pre op diet..not doin so well...i need to eat healthier. its just so hard because 1 cup of veggies doesnt hold you long at all!!! so im eating starches, pasta, bread... all the wrong things. oh well today is a new day and im encouraged to eat healthy and going to give it my all. its just food...i have to remember that its going to be here tomorrow, i wont starve to death. (even though i feel like it! lol) thanks for all the help and encouragment. heres to a good week of healthy choices!

AMEN!!!!!!

aww girl I feel for you just remember the end result....how good you will look and feel. Ive found that keeping myself physically busy (cleaning, laundry, walks, organizing, painting, ect) helps kkep my mind off food and my hunger, also hot water with lemon cures hunger pains. hope it gets better for you

i can feel your excitment all the way over here in Canada! lol assuming you from the u.s lol. Im so very happy for you and can relate totally to all your thoughts and emotions that your feeling right now. when I got the call I was so excited i thought it wasnt real! Good luck on your journey girl, and i hope the very best for you

hello, I have just started my gastric sleeve weight loss journey. I have yet to recieve the surgury(through Alberta Health) as I still have a few appoitments to go to beforehand. I have to get a "scope"? I think thats what its called..lol...the camera thingie they put down your throat. Im just wondering if anyone else has had it done, and if so, how was it? Im a little worried about it. I start my pre op diet tomorrow, 1 cup of food per meal, and it has to be healthy. any suggestions as to what foods I can eat that will help keep me full while still following the rules? Im so excited to be apart of a great support group! looking forward to getting to know you all eh!!!! lol Im Canadian......

I want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for providing these forms and information! it helps soo much and makes it alot easier! Im on week 2 of the 1 cup per meal (total 3 cups per day) diet. this has been hard and its about to get harder as I found out that I cant just eat anything. oh well its just food, and im on a journey that will be soo worth it. my surgury will be in the next 4 months. im so excited and im looking forward to going through it with you all!
