Well done!! pre-op diets are the hardest part

I have kaiser and when I saw the surgeon he said to get them done soon so I was already at the hospital and just went from department to department and had them all done.

How are you feeling? any better?

Look at you!!! I can totally see the weight loss.. You are beautiful..

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I had what they call water nausea, it lasted a few days and went away.

I was in a car accident in 95 that had me bedridden for six years and three major back surgeries before I was able to walk again . I gained over a hundred pounds during that time and the strain it was putting on my spine caused excruciating pain 24/7. After 15 years of pain and not being able to exercise because of the pain I decided to have this surgery. My dr agreed it was necessary and since that decision I have lost 49 pounds and feel so much better. My situation isn't like yours but I know sort of what you are going through. I think yopu will find doing this will give you so much more then you ever though it could.

Hello Linda, I'm excited for you to start the rest of your life. this is a journey of self worth and discovery. welcome to the rest of your life!

I drink the Premier shakes. lately the texture of them is making it hard to swallow but they taste the best the unjury mixes smell funny and have a weird taste. But like someone said the Premeir shakes need to be really cold.

I had those same feelings and worries. but with all the testes youhave to do they monitor you so things wont go wrong. I didn't have any of the co-morbidities that go along with obesity so the chances of something going wrong were a lot lower. You do what you have to do.

I'm already in a bunco group. So much fun

I love bunco I live too far away though..

Okay I have to confess. On occation I will go to costco at lunch and eat the free samples instead of buying a lunch I'm mostly going to throw away. I know it's not pretty... *hangs head*

yesterday I had Korean BBQ beef, pepper jack cheese and a spinach and cheese ravioli.. I was so full.

Thanks for the replies. I'm feeling brilliant right about now..lol.. you guys made my day thanks again

Congratulations!! welcome to the rest of your life !!

I'm doing the happy dance for you!!

So exciting!!! congratulations

Before surgery I was always told I snore so loud that it's like there's a freight train coming through my room. I'm not sure I'm afraid to ask and get all the annoying replys. My questions is.. Did you snore and do you now?

I changed my mind after every required class my insurance made me go to. Then I'd change it back before the next class only to change it again after. Glad I went through with it.

Congratulations!!! that made me smile.

hahaha!! very funny

Welcome Kali, I had my sleeve done June 4th. I'm adjusting well and losing inches more than pounds. everyone is different and it all goes away in the end. Hope you stay here and enjoy the awesome information they have gathered from everyone to help you with your journey.

Cingratulations!!! I bet you had a big smile on your face..

woke up with some pain and the nausea was bad. the first day I didn't walk slept most of the time. the next day had trouble with the liquid pain meds (couldn't keep them down) by the afternoon I was practically sprinting around the floor. Was ready to go home that evening but stayed until the next am. At home i felt 50% better everyday. I was up and pruning rose bushes by the end of the week. Only right after the surgery did I think "What in the heck did I do"? Now I think "Look what the heck I did"!!
