  6. S- Day this Friday I can't believe it's almost here not loving the thought of protein drinks another 2 weeks BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS !! : "Nothing changes if nothing changes, and if I keep doing what I've always done, I'll keep getting what I've always got, and will keep feeling what I always felt."

  9. Day 6 liquid pre-op diet sleeve scheduled June 21 and I really want to go out and get a Big Mac or something right now!! I haven't cheated at all and I won't but when I get hungry I'm thinking of all the food I won't have anymore. I know it's a good thing because they are bad for me and I'm determined to make it work and use it as a tool to a new me !! but I'm just sad that i feel like I'm going to miss out on food I'm being honest I loved my fast food and I am an overeater . My head is playing games on me Sent from my iPhone using VST
  10. Thank you for the encouraging words so happy for this forum to know that I'm not alone:) Sent from my iPhone using VST
  11. I am having surgery next Friday all my life I have been an overeater I mean just eat because its there I'm just afraid that months or years down the road I will be doing this again . I am using the sleeve as a tool to a healthier life but of course there's always a bit of doubt anyone eating more than they thought ??? or is it impossible because of the restriction the sleeve makes . Sent from my iPhone using VST
  12. Being sleeved next Friday I had my gallbladder removed years ago and the worst part of it was the GAS pain I'm not looking forward to that again:( Sent from my iPhone using VST
  13. My surgery is next Friday Im very determined to use my sleeve as a tool. It's not going to be easy. its going to take eating right and exercise , but to me the pros out weigh the cons. I want to get off most of my meds and have a healthier inside. I also want a healthy looking outside. I want to go shopping NOT at a plus size store and I want to fit into some cute clothes. Im 46 yrs. old and I told myself I would not be this size when I'm 50 ! Someone said this and it stuck in my head -- Be good to your sleeve and your sleeve will be good to you !

  19. That's great Congrats!! It's official on our way to thinness! No I haven't been to the support group either I guess if i need it I will use it after surgery.
