Well I lived through my sleeve surgery (this was actually a huge concern for me because I'm terrified of anesthesia). I am so happy to say I am down 25 lbs from my highest weight. It seems to be coming off so quickly. The first week after surgery was hell for me. The first couple days I was very depressed and questioning what the hell I did to myself. 2 weeks out now, I feel much better. The pain is minimal and I feel great energy-wise because I'm not eating crappy foods. I am still supposed to be on full liquids until the 17th but honestly, the liquids have been making me sick so I have been having a little oatmeal or some kind of shredded meat or a banana the past few days. I felt like a failure at first because of this but I am still doing great and I refuse to let myself feel bad for eating a little to avoid getting sick. I am making healthy choices and making sure I am getting in my protein, it's hard to get in 65 grams per day but I have been coming close. I am so happy to already be feeling better and have started back on an excercise regimen. I have about 55 more lbs to go to reach my goal weight and I am confident I will make it with no problem. I am really excited to go shopping but I refuse to let myself until i'm down at least another 15 lbs. I am so thankful the surgery went well and that the worst part is over--I wish much success to all who have been or are about to be sleeved!!

Ok, tomorrow is the big day for me. My anxiety is through the roof and I just want it over with! This liquid diet has been 10 days of hell, even though I have had some food, it’s been very, very little. Today is clear liquids only and I have felt like vomiting all day. I can’t even concentrate and am feeling extra empathetic for people who are truly starving in this world. I am soooooo ready to do this and get it over with. Please keep me in you thoughts and prayers, as anesthesia/surgery scares the he## out of me!
I’ll be back once I’m feeling better
