Absolutely Fantastic!!! Keep up the awesome work!!

So agree! Made it tonight. It does taste like lasagna!! Lots for leftovers too!! Thanks for sharing

Surgery 9/18. Preop weight 175. Weight today. 152.8. Loss is becoming slower over last 6 days....but all is good!

You'll be ok! You're in the best place....with the best people to take care of you!!! Best wishes!!!

So happy this question came up. I am 3 weeks out and my family all chuckles when my orchestra starts up!! It still surprises me!!! Phew...I am normal!!!

I am 4'11". Vertically challenged so I needed the vertical sleeve!

Highest was 188. Preop was 175. Surgery was sept 18 and yesterday weigh in was 152.2. I'll take that!!

I am Kristen from RI Just got home yesterday from sleeve surgery on tues the 18th. I saw Dr Pohls associate, Dr Giovanni. Overall, doing well. Tired and slight sore. But I had 2 c-sections and this was much easier. Just getting used to the new lifestyle of drinking shakes, and not much chewing at this time. But all is looking up !!

I was sleeved two days ago..heading home in a few minutes. You will do great! Keep in mind all the positive posts and wonderful support you have here from all of us ! We have you in our prayers. You can do this!!! Best wishes!

You will all do great!! Positive thoughts and keep thinking how great it is that you are taking care of YOU! You will all be in my thoughts today ! God bless each of you as you begin the journey

.......ON the losers bench. I want to let you know that I read positive posts up until the time they wheeled me in!! And it helped calm me!

For all of you waiting.-- Yes the anxiety is there. Try and find some calmness. I can tell you not toooo bad. Agree that the gas in my shoulders is not where I expected it from! I was up and off that stretcher( slight ache, no pain!) before they put me in a room. And it helped with the gas a bunch!! Good luck all you September 19 and 20. You will be fine !!!

I am ready ! Bring this on! Prayed for all of us sleevers today! May God watch over us and guide all of our surgeons and nurses hands as they help with getting us to better health !!

Beautiful time for all of us to pave a new road to health. I wish it wasn't so quiet here today- that might be adding to my anxiety! Husband working, kids in school - My day off- just keeping busy with little tasks. We can do this!

Good luck !!! I will be joining you on that side of the bench tomorrow ! Sending support and prayers!

Yes' date=' I'm September 18th also ! And starting to really freak out !!![/quote']

Liz. It is definitely high anxiety! But we will be ok. Best wishes. We will have to stay connected and check up on each other !!! Praying for your ease of mind and speedy recovery to awesome health!!

.....It will be my turn. Little anxious. Trying to be excited for my healthy future! Anyone else on September 18?

One week from today -sept 18. I will be joining you all on the sleevie-slim-side !!! Good luck to you all!!!

So the call came in today that my surgery will be on September 18! Wow.... Any advice ?

Hoping all went well today, Leener! Thoughts are with you!

I knew you would do awesome!! Was watching to see when you would post after surgery! Take care of you!! Loose clothes for now. Found out today that i am having my sleeve on sept 18..... Excited and nervous at the same time! So happy that you are on the other side of this !

Best wishes ! I am looking at surgery the week of sept 17. I will be praying that all goes well and you will be back posting your progresses. The rollercoaster of anxiety before the big day is quite elevated-but know that we are all here hoping you feel healthier and happier on the loser's side!

Getting sleeved at 10.00 am in Salisbury Md by Dr Sofronski. So excited ! I don't want to think anything but happy thoughts Prayers lifted please for this wonderful journey!

Best wishes !! Happy and "Healthy" thoughts and prayers heading your way !!!

Hello. I am pretty new here also.... I am 41year old wife & mom of 2 daughters and just got approval yesterday. No date scheduled yet. I feel the same .....so excited but nervous toooo ! i agree that keeping your health business somewhat quiet isnt a bad idea. I have confided in a few friends and have gotten mixed responses for certain.

Best wishes ! Keep the faith it will be sooooo worth it!!!

Yesterday would have been my mom's 65 birthday--- she passed almost 5 years ago from ovarian cancer. I promised her the month before her passing that i would get healthier. Although much time has passed, and every diet tried since then......yesterday the Drs office called and said I was approved! Now waiting for the next step and hopefully a surgery date !! Feel like mom sent me a small gift on her day !!!

This is my first night on the site and your thread was the first I read. Best wishes as you move ahead into this new chapter! I am hoping to start a new chapter soon myself!!
