Thank you guys for your support. Best wishes to you both!

Hello everyone. I finally got sleeved on Sept. 18. I know I'm healing, but I figure if I'm not eating anything I should be loosing weight, right? I am still at the same weight as before surgery. Does anyone else have this problem? I guess I am just anxious about not seeing the scale move. I am very thankful that I did not have any problems with surgery and I seem to be recovering normally...just wondering why the scale isn't showing any results yet. Thanks for listening!

Hello everyone! My surgery is set for Sept. 4th too. I'm not required to do a liquid diet until the day before surgery. I am having a protien shake for breakfast and lunch though, just so I don't gain any weight back that I've lost. I am eating a normal supper. I keep thinking everytime I eat my supper that it could be the last time I eat this meal. Its like a time of mourning for me! I am going to miss eating, but I'm so looking forward to enjoying life!

This is great information. Thank you for posting!

Hello, Reading your story has touched me as I was just approved for surgery also and am scheduled for Sept. 4th. I too am very excited, but worry about how this will effect my girls. I have a 12 yr old and 10 yr. old girl. I want to be a good model for them and feel that not only am I letting myself down, but them as well. I can only hope and pray that after the surgery I will model good eating behaviors for them, as I don't have the self control to do that now. I also have R.A. I know that this surgery will not cure my R.A., but getting this weight off will have to make things easier for us to move. I wish you the best and hope to follow your story as we have so much in common. Take care! Wendy
