  1. I can't eat puréed until 12/31 and its dragging. I'm soooo depressed. Feel it's never going to get here.
  2. You look great. Good work.
  3. 8 days post op and completely anxious and depressed. This I know shall pass but has been the worst experience to date. All I do is cry and want to stay in bed. I feel so overwhelmed like I can't get all the protein in in one day and I can't get all the calcium in etc. I'm just so frustrated. Anyone else in the same boat??
  4. I had my surgery 12/3 and though all is well and I didn't take the pain meds after the hospital I'm a hot mess mentally. I have anxiety all the time with depression and can't stop crying. I freak myself out like why did I do it and will I make it through. I have a ton of support but I just feel like a mess. I'm crying again as I write this
  5. My pain is on the lower left side same feeling you are describing. I call the nurse and she said that is the last part they removed my stomach so that it was normal.
  6. So sorry you are having to go through all of this. It's hard. But yes you def need to get your breast cancer under control and kick its butt. The sleeve surgery will always be there. We just want you healthy.

  8. I have my surgery on Monday as well. Good luck and I will keep you in my prayers. Can't wait for the new journey.
  9. Cannot wait to stop fearing if I can fit on the roller coaster, finding cute clothes at a cheaper price, not getting winded so easily, not worrying about what people are always thinking about me, and going out in public with my in shape husband not worrying about people staring thinking "what is he doing with her?"
  10. I was diagnosed about 13 years ago with hypothyroidism. I'm on meds but my levels are never stable. I'm set to have surgery 12/3 and am curious if it will make a huge difference. My endocrinologist seems to think it will.
  11. I'm so glad too that I found this thread. I'm nervous for 12/3 but ready.
  12. Hello. I'm getting sleeved 12/3
  13. You look amazing. Keep up the great work !!!
  14. You look absolutely amazing. Keep up the great work!!! ????
  15. Congrats. You look absolutely amazing!!!
  16. Sending good thoughts and prayers your way. Going to be a great journey ahead!!
  17. I had my office fight and they actually approved the sleeve. So my surgery is set with approval now for 12/3. Super excited but nervous at the same time.
  18. So I have been told the sleeve is not a covered benefit of my freaking plan. Only bypass and lapband are. I just had lapband removed. Super depressed!!!
  19. Congratulations. You look great.
