I confess I am 15 days post op and irritated I have only lost 12 lbs.
I confess I know that is irrational.
I confess I miss food everyday.
I confess I'm both elated and frightened that I seem to have a sleeve of steel.
I confess I'm scared to be thin as I have no idea what's that like.

I suffer from them, but haven't had one yet. They hospital staff was very caring & supportive. I've prayed alot. But other than that I can't explain it. I felt sure I would've had 1a day before & after surgery. Keep your spirits up & have faith. You'll do great!

Woke up today with no headache -woohoo. Thanks everyone

Day 9 of my pre-op and I've lost 10lbs so far!!! I am feeling great and I am so grateful to have such great parents and co-workers that are being supportive. I get surgery this Friday and I can't wait. I am so excited to have found this website so that we can share this experience together. Good luck to all you August sleevers!!

Good to hear from you! Glad things are going well for you today. I told my hubby this was by far the easiest surgery I have ever experienced. I feel better everyday and you will too! Glad you are now on the losers bench!!

Day 2 of my Pre-op diet....Pray I don't kill anyone!! LOL

Congrats!!!

just stepping in to give hugs

Woo! Hoo! Down 16#. Since surgery 8/6!........so excited!

You have to stop beating yourself up over the past because it will become your excuse to continue it in the future....Everyone gets depressed...Everyone struggles and if they are your friends they understand..You are a grown up...You do not live for your family anymore unless that family are your husband and children...You need to look in the mirror and tell yourself to put your big girl panties on and forgive yourself for being human with flaws. You are not ugly you are overweight there is a difference...You are not stupid or unable to cope you are depressed...Stop beating yourself up in hopes it might make you feel better because it won't...What you need is a good kick in the butt..and I say that with love and unconditional support. now pick your ass back up, get back on the pre op diet and get ready for surgery because while you are losing weight you have time to PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS!
Look over at your husband and say thank you for loving me when i don't...and move forward darlin because if you are not meant to be the fat girl this is YOUR CHANCE TO FIX IT!!! There is no judgement or ridicule in this message...I am sending you hugs and love...Now smarten up!

Hey everyone, I'm still in the hospital. I'm three days post op and they are trying to get my blood (ptt) on a therapeutic level before releasing me. The nausea, headaches and other ailments have subsided. I still have a few gas pains the come on hard and then disappear within seconds. I've been upset because I knew I was going to have to stay hospitalized for two nights, but didn't count on four or five nights. It's been a struggle to arrange for childcare because my wonderful husband will not leave my side. So tomorrow is my daughter's sixth birthday and I've been stressing that I am not going to see her or be able to do anything for her. When I talked to her on the phone this afternoon she told me she wanted a piñata to take to school tomorrow for her birthday. I of course told her no way, maybe another day I would make it up to her. My surgeon comes in tonight and I'm begging him to let me go home and tried the sympathy route about my daughter wanting a piñata. He didn't budge, said I may be here one more or two more nights. I want you to know that 2 hours later that man walked back into my room carrying a horse shaped piñata and candy to fill it! He thinks he may release me in the morning so I will be able to surprise my daughter! How's that for a surgeon?

I had my pre-op appointment with my surgeon today (he's so nice...and so cute!, bloodwork, pre-op surgery class and signed all the waivers. I weighed in two pounds uncer my required pre-surgery weight goal!! It's getting very real now!!!!!

2 days post-op. And I feel better today than I yesterday. Only getting 3/4 oz of Water. But they say that's better than nothing

I met with Dr. Le today for my pre-op appt. I made it to my pre-surgery goal weight....even under by two pounds! I signed my waiver, did bloodwork and attended the pre-op surgery class. It's feeling really, real now!

Good Morning sleevers!!
I Hope everyone will have a gorgeous day today. For some, it is time for their sleeve, and for others, the days are counting down. For those who are having their sleeves today, and this week, tons of luck and hugs to you all. I hope your surgeries are a super success. My surgery day is creeping up rather fast, and I am very excited.
Good thoughts to all, stay positive, the results will pay off!!
Hugs,

August 23rd for me:) hello all from Scotland! X

I HAD been addicted to Diet Dr. Pepper since ...forever. I haven't had one since the first week in May and I don't crave it at all anymore and I feel a whole lot better too. When I went off of it I had a "migraine type" headache for seven days. Hang in there....it's truly worth the detox pain! Now Vitamin Water Zero's, Water and Decaf green tea are my addictions. I hope I still like them after my surgery!

223 at my highest
204 at surgery October 2010
145 today
Only 4 lbs from my goal weight, but it's tough getting this last 10 off!!!!!

Lost 13.5 preop and 11 postop. I am on day 19 postop. Total 24.5. an additional 15.5 to qualify for surgery. I started all this in August 2011. Grand total 40 pounds. Wow I can't believe it!
Start weight 282 now 242 Not sure what I want to be my goal weight. I'm thinking 175 would be good for my frame but we'll see. BTW I have NEVER admitted my true weight to anyone. Liberating and scary lol
Congrats to u all!!!!!

I'm so jealous. I can't.wait.to be in the hundreds!!

I miss diet Dr pepper, I don't need the caffiene, I just want those bubbles in my mouth. * cries*
So yea its safe to say I make a sad face every day knowing I can't have my diet Dr pepper or any carbonated yum yum ever again.
That being said, its still totally worth not being able to have it. Wish I could have both worlds tho *sigh*

I'm back!!
- I confess that I really miss ice cold coca cola
- I confess that I love the way I feel now
- I confess that I am afraid of vomitting therefore I am afraid of trying new foods....
- I confess that I crave salt and vinegar chips
- I confess that I would REALLY love a glass of wine
-I confess that I feel skinnier than I am right now
- I confess that I often wonder if I'll ever be able to eat certain foods ever again.... Like cheese enchiladas
- I confess that I am not perfect, but I am doing my best.

Good Luck to all of tomorrows sleevers!
