Thank you guys so much!!!!!! I am feeling great,I can't believe it!!!! Anyone heard from the other sleevers that got sleeved today.???

I am sleeved sleeved sleeved!!! And feel great. Little bit of gas discomfort but that's it!! I am getting to chew ice cubes and swallow them,and chewable gas x from nurses-gas x strips from home. Took my first walk and it went much better thann I had expected. NOW I CANNOT WAIT SEE HOW THE OTHER SLEEVERS DID TODAY!!!!!!

Yea,it was def 10 ozs of nastiness. Made me want to be sick,but the up side is,I agree,no more hunger feeling,I'm too grossed out!!! LOL Gettin REALLY excited now!!!!!! Woot!!

Shells,Ijust finished the MAg like 30 minutes ago and nothing yet,my tummy is a bit upset tho...Can't wait to be done with everything and on the road to recovery.

Hey girl!!! Mine is tomorrow at 7:30!!I just drank the magnesium citrate,YUCK!!!! Good luck to everyone else getting sleeved tomorrow! We;re gonna get through this together!!! I have had only water and a sugar free jello. I may drink some broth later or green tea.

Thank you Happy and LilmissDiva!! Thank you so much for your kind words! Coming to this site was a real picker upper. =) I have been back on track but I do agree it would be best to let my surgeon know and see what they say. I go in tomorrow morning at 5:30 AM! First surgery of the day... Wish me luck ladies! Lilmissdiva-Your b4 and after by your ticker is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!! GOOO GIRL!!!!

YOU ARE AWESOME!!! I so needed to read this! =)) You look great! Congrats to you for doing so well in just 4 months!! I am getting sleeved Wednesday,thank you for the inspiration!

You all are awesome!! Thank you so much for your support!! Tomorrow makes 2 days till my surgery and I am excited/nervous!! Tomorrow i start all liquid fast-I KNOW I can do it!!!! Then Tuesday the Mag CItrate-BLEK!

Thank you all for your responses!! =) Happy,I don't want to take his fave foods away,it's just that I know a change when I see one with my hubby,and he NEVER brings this much junk in the house. In 2 days he brought chocolate covered almonds AND raisins,sugar cookies,2 diff flavors of ice cream,2 bags of chips,and asked me to make cinnamon rolls!! LOL We had a sit down last night and he apologized and said he kinda was having last meal syndrome as well,feeling like since I'm the one who mainly does the grocery shopping and cooking,that he won't be able to eat anything other than "health" foods anymore. =( We talked it all out and he understands now that he can eat what he wants. My pre-op diet is just a stressful time and as soon as my surgery is over he can have what he wants in here really. It doesn't help to be PMSing and wanting everything chocolate either,but I am fighting the urge now,especially since I was able to vent! Hehe. Problem resolved,tho,and my diet is back on and steady!! =D 3 days till the day! Thanks for your support!

I am so looking forward to being able to chase my kiddos around and be super mommy WITHOUT being sweaty and out of breath mommy!! =)

Thank you so much. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that has gone through this. I was very happy this morning to get on the scale and see I have lost 7 lbs since I started my pre-op diet and it made me not want to stop! =) I threw all the junk away last night. He got mad! =( He is not here right now but when he gets back we are supposed to have a sit down. Thank you all so much for supporting me,you have no idea,well I'm sure you may lol,how much it helps to have the support of ppl that have been there! ((HUGS))

Thank you! I threw all the junk food away!

Thank you so much. We are required to take post op classes for support. The preop was the nutrition class. I hope he comes with me so he can understand more. He went to the seminar with me.

I also have to drink the magnesium citrite the day b4. Bleck!

18 lbs in 11 days?!?!? Awesome! I am feeling slightly better that a few ppl cheated and still got to go through with the surgery. It's crunch time now.. My hubs is mad bc I threw out ice cream and Cookies,o well.

Congrats on your successful surgery!! =) My pre-op diet was (this is what I'm supposed to be eating,spread out over a whole day): 4 oz of lean Protein 4 oz of fresh fruits 4 oz of fresh veggies 2 protein shakes-one with fat free milk,one with Water. My Vitamins and coq10 I also have to drink the magnesium citrate.

Thank you for your response. He has always been supportive,but only when he HAS to,like when I'm pregnant or healing from a c-section. When there is no one else to help I guess he has to. As far as supporting me on diets. HA-JOKE

Than you Lissa! He doesn't think I need the surgery to lose weight. According to him,If I try hard enough,I can lose it on my own. Don't know if he has completely missed the last 6 years of our lives together that have consisted of me either being pregnant or yo-yo dieting!! :/

Thank you for your support. I have heard ppl tell me it will be fine. I just feel like I have let myself and my surgeon down. Tomorrow is a new,better day.

Thank you. I am trying to talk to him,it's like talking to a brick wall. At the last minute,he doesn't want me doing the surgery?? SO confused right now,this is ridiculous! The only support I have is here! WOW

I just don't know what to do. I'm having SERIOUS issues here!! Maybe I wasn't ready for this....I'm failing my pre-op diet,my surgeon,everything! I keep cheating on my pre-op diet and I only have as of tomorrow,4 days left until surgery! I am a mess! The tears are def falling tonight... My husband,the person who is supposed to be my main support system,is constantly bringing bad foods in the house,chocolate covered EVERYTHING,cake,ice cream,asking me to make the cinnamon rolls that have been sitting in the fridge for a month!! WHY NOW?!?! WHY is he doing this NOW??? I have talked to him about it,argued about it,etc. Finally after he threw a fit about the stupid cinnamon rolls, I cooked them,then told him that I am throwing everything "junk" away! I know at some point even if I got the surgery I will have to control it,but he is just being completely ridiculous and making it very hard for me! He's NEVER like this! He told me not to throw/give away a package of sugar cookie mix-SERIOUSLY....I feel very defeated right now. I am almost certain I have screwed my surgery over now. Should I even go through with them making insicions and trying to do the surgery,when I know I have messed up and I only have 4 days left? I have still been drinking at least 64 ounces of water a day,but have cheated SO many times. Other than the times I cheat and eat sweets,I have followed the diet...Idk what to do...I hate myself right now. I wanted and needed this more than anything and I can't even do the friggin pre-op diet...

WOW,congrats Debbie!!! =)) That sounds so awesome!! I can't wait to be in a 16-18!!

Ohhh I so needed to read all these funny and inspiring comments! Love this thread! =) I am in 24's right now BUT they are getting loose since being on my pre-op diet! Woo hoo! I am tired of wearin sweats and t shirts and hiding from all the pics. I too am always taking pics of my hubs with the kids bc I am too embarrassed to be in the pics. Cannot wait to be down into some smaller sizes so I can shop comfortably. I actually think I forgot how to shop for myself,its crazy! The only clothes I buy are baby and husband clothing! Can't wait to buy a bra from Victoria's Secret,ha! =))
