These are my daily thoughts and conversations with myself (the VST names are fictitious!)

You Dana are daydreaming if you think this will work.... Ha! Here you go again...thinking you can actually win this battle...

NO really' date=' look... FattyCathy lost 101 pounds in less than a year, SleevaDiva lost 92 pounds in 6 months, TubbyMummy lost 50 pounds in 3 months.. don't be ridiculous Dana, do you really think YOU will be able to lose that kind of weight? YOU are different...you are destined to stay fat and live a half life...those others must have something you don't.

No really, this could be different. ......Could this possibly really actually be different? Maybe, yes, maybe it can... .... oh please, don't get your hopes up. You'll let them poke 5 holes in your stomach, blow it up like you're 7 months pregnant and then slice off of 90% of it. FOR NOTHING. You'll be throwing up, getting nausea inducing bloating off 3 green Beans and having to concentrate like it's a full time job on sip sip sip sip sip, chew chew chew chew, don't throw up, did you get your Protein in today?, maybe I have a leak, uh oh- that pureed egg salad Soup did not agree with me, trying Protein powder brand #63 --taking one sip and gagging -- and on to brand #64...., oh thank God, it's been 4 weeks-- I can finally eat the Gerber pureed liver and brussell sprouts- yum!!........... all of this will be for NOTHING, because you are delusional if you think YOU will finally shed the monster that has consumed your life for 40 years. YOU are destined to stay fat -- and your surgeon will be dumbfounded by the fact that YOU (the failure) are not losing weight...he'll think, well she must be sucking down Haagen Daz by the gallon every day... wow, what a failure...Never thought I'd find a fat person that could not lose weight with this... Dana Must Be the First Person In the World who has been an utter failure at not losing weight under starvation conditions.. yep, he'll find you out...you are just a failure.....now just go back to worrying that if you die at home in the shower the paramedics will have to lift your 260lb naked ass to load you and then the funeral home will have to special order an Elvis Presley casket...... but maybe, Oh please God, maybe this COULD work?

And all of these thoughts are in just the first 9 minutes since I woke up....[/quote']

That is exactly how I feel I been sleeved for 4 weeks and only lost 14 lbs my husband 5 weekend out and lost 47 lbs. I feel like a complete failure

Good job on your journey I'm 4weeks post op I'm going to dry brush myself. Any specific kind of lotion ? I'm very interested that is one of my main concerns is the saggy skin.

I hope you get better soon and you will be back to your normal self. My prayers are with you

I can relate to everything you said- including being a teacher (you're in that group here right?) and the bonky knee (haha funny term). I also can eat and love variety too.

This week I also tried on all these clothes and was so happy going down from the 22/24's 2-3x's to tight 18/1x's. That was really fun. It's so nice to shrink. Kind of makes the whole loss of most of the stomach worth it!

How much have you lost so far ? I'm 3 weeks post op and only lost 12 lbs. I'm getting discouraged because it seems like my weight isn't moving. I'm not sure if I'm doing things right I get sick when I drink Protein and I eat soft food. Please let me know what I can do if anything to get this weight off. You seem to be right on track and I wanna have something good to post at my 2 months.

I think my surg date will be pretty close to yours. All is done' date=' just waiting for surg date....and have to get darn CPAP machine working grrr...lol. Keep in touch:)[/quote']

I'm on the sleep pap too , I just really haven't been using it because it's so uncomfortable . Do you know if it will effect something durning surgery? I need to start back with it all this week. Getting nervous !

My husband is doing really good. He Feels really good today and has very little pain . He's not on any pain meds so I'm happy to see him move along.

@lovejones17. How is your husband feeling this morning..

He is doing great so far, he's been walking and moving about . He said he is not in pain and refuses the pain meds he will go home today,I'm excited about that I miss my bed.

Thank you all for your prayers, my husband has been officially sleeved. I am blessed to say that he is doing great and surgery went well. He has already been up walking , still drowsy and now sleeping like a baby. I'm looking forward to tomorrow !

I'm sure he'll be just fine! I have my surgery next thursday too!! We will also do just fine. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Thank you so much and he did really well, and so will we where are you going to have your surgery? I will west LA Kaiser

I can't believe that oh but on the other hand I can. That was so rude, don't listen to ppl who have so much negative to say. Continue to do what's best for you if it was that easy why would we take such life threating chances to get back healthy. Stay encouraged my dear !

I have one week to go 8/16 is my day... Yikes all while waiting patiently for my hubby to come out is surgery so happy for him. Praying everything goes well. Time moves so slow in this waiting room

Im so nervous, my husband is in surgery as we speak and I have my surgery next Thursday. In really happy that it's finally here after such a long time waiting. I just pray that him and I both have a wonderful experience and love our new life together ????
