  1. Hi everybody I have only had the sleeve since april 18th of this year but I do wish i was more prepared for the loss of enjoyment of food. I loved eating now its like a chore to make sure i am taking care of myself but I will get used to it i have lost 45 pounds! and I look and feel great! Just wish i could eat more lol It makes me want to enjoy something something bad lik edrinking or something more, but I dont do it because im SO scared of hurting my sleeve as much as i dislike it at eating times I LOVE IT when im shopping for clothes lol I take flinstone vitamens like 6 bucks a month and calcium 6 dollars every other month and now biotin for my hair thats 6 bucks also every other month. I am a very mind, soul, body, enriched women and I feel like when i was bigger I was sick! now I feel like more energy, more smiles, im not obsessed with being smaller or anything im am worried abotu loose skin thats it! Im only 22 so hopefully my skin will be elastic as the doctor says! I have a LOVE/HATE relatiopnship with my sleeve
  2. Second day out I want to go home this gas pain ain't no joke! It makes me not want to eat or nothing!
  3. IM 5'4 IM 263 POUNDS GOING IN ON WEDNESDAY TO BE SLEEVED!
  4. I went to benihanas Friday I'm being sleeved Wednesday, I have been drinking also lol I'm ordering pizza now today is it!
  5. I'm going to be sleeved the 18th I don't have a diet except for the day before I didn't know if this was good or bad but my surgeon has great results so
  6. I have this too! I had surgery under my arm put for it and now I need it under my other arm but I rather have another baby than have that surgery again it hurts allot I wash with hibiclens soap and use destin baby ointment to keep it fresh since I can't use deodorant under that arm, I thought surgery would help being the bigger I got the worse they would get! We will see in my case 4 more days!
  7. April 18th here! I'm excited and anxious. I went to the required class today and wish I would have been admitted then! I'm ready to start my new healthy life 4 more days!
  8. I am having the same thoughts, fear, and dread. I am being sleeved on the 18th! I am so anxious and excited at the same time. I just seen a secret at my job they are throwing me a last hoorah potluck!!!!!!! SWEET!!!!!!

  11. My surgery date is APRIL 18! Three weeks im going for my last drink this weekend and my last pig out. Im so scared of not being able to eat anything for the rest of my life. I know thats not true but I'm just really dramatic I am excited for my life change and i cant wait to not be in pain. Everyone talks about the pain associated with healing and im dealthy afraid of throwing up when im already in tons of pain. I have had 2 kids, 1 natural, surgery in my arm pit (which I rather have a baby then do that again), so I know a lil bit about pain and i have a couple tats. hahhah. I am very afraid that i have a real small tummy, I seen a youtube video that all people have different size stomachs, that means when you get sleeved your sleeve may be bigger or smaller than someone elses. I think thats nutts and hope I have a bigger sleeve, smaller sleeves I have seen so many videos of pain throwing up and just SICKNESS! I go to the gym 3 times a week and have lost 5 pounds. I hope this is a smooth process I want a success story of 80 pounds in 6 months! prove my family wrong (They arent very supportive, think im not that big) IM 5'4 and 265 pounds I am so READY FOR THIS!
  12. It's just 3 weeks away my support has dwindled down not too many people are supporting my choice I'm excited I'm getting protein shakes vitamins all that! Now for my last hoorah
  13. I got approved Friday but the surgeons office has not called me for a date I'm so anxious. I have been going through this process since August last year so this is long over due. Congrats on your approval! I hope your trip is great! I'm worried about the diet too!
  14. I can't wait to go to a clearance rack at Charlotte forever 21 express and pick up a medium and it's so cheap! Big clothes never go on sale or there are no big sizes left! Oh and heels too!
