Hi all I am getting my sleeve February 25 EEEEKKKKit creeped up quick. I start my pre-op on Monday. Anyone else the 25th?

DOS: 255.4 Current weight: 185.4 Surgery Date: 2/25/13 Down 81 pounds total I feel fantastic. I workout regularly but I started losing A LOT of hair. My protein is fine (I get 100-120g a day) and I work out. Went to doc did blood test, shows vitamins levels are fantastic. So they did a second test of thyroid and found my thyroid levels are extremely high. Has anyone had this happen? I have an appointment with an endocrinologist on Sept 10. I was really happy with 81 pounds in not even 6 months. If my thyroid is high it means it is slowing me down.

How is everyone doing?! I am stalled 10 days back and forth same couple pounds.

Sleeved feb 25: HW: 266 Surgery Weight: 254 Current: 208 Aiming for 199 by July 1 I am having really bad heart burn the last few days. Not sure what had changed

How is everyone doing?!

Have you taken an antacid?! I had a hard time with water doc put me on nexium and now I am good no issues at all with water. Good luck!!!

I am so close 229 is my next milestone ... I was sleeved 2/25 and am at 234 now I want 229 by the 10th when I see the doc agaiN, and 199 by my birthday May 19. Good luck ladies!!!

I did have a stall week 2. I think my body was just in shock. My favorite purée was I made BBQ crock pot chicken with pineapple pepper and onion. And than I puréed it and it was delish!

I was sleeve 2/25 as well and with pre-op I am down 32 pounds today. 21 post-op.

Sleeved 2/25 down 25.6 11 of them pre-op. I lost 12.4 my first week post op but only lost 2.2 this week. I am a little disappointed not sure why not more.

How is everyone doing?

I am net sleeved too Monday the 25th and I had to stay the extra day for vomitting but I am glad I did ... How is everyone feeling. I am on full liquids but really want to eat something lol!

I did weigh yesterday, I am not sure how to count days post op I had surgery Monday so yesterday would be to me 2 days post op, but some are considering it 3 so idk. Anyway I was 6 pounds lighter from morning of surgery to when I come home last night and got a shower. I promised myself I would not be scale crazy and weigh myself everyday so I didn't I am going to wait until Monday again.

I am moving from clear to full liquids today as well! Good luck to you!!

My big incision is by my belly button. It definitely hurts more than the others. I have the grumble and rumble and my surgery was Monday they have me Pepcid and that really helped ALOT. Also I am drinking cold water instead of room temp water they said that could be why too. I hope you feel better. I had a really terrible 2 days and am just now getting myself together. I am finally going home. I hope you feel better soon.

So glad everyone is doing well. I did not have such good luck with my recovery. I had a serious reaction the anesthesia even thorough I warned then and am still in the hospital. I am almost 48 hours post op and just now stopped dry heaving and holding down some water. I am hoping the worst is behind me and I am going home today. Glad everyone else is doing so well keep me updated, and good luck to those who are still yet to come this week

I go tomorrow too 930 surgery! I can't believe it is here and am so nervous!! Best if luck to you!!!

I am now starting day 3 pre-op. I am doing OK I had a little slip up the first night but I think I was trying to be an over achiever. The second day/night proved to be alot easier once I was more realistic. Good luck ladies my goal is 10 pounds pre op. seeing as I gained 4 pounds in the process of consult/authorization. I would like to be 10 pounds lighter than my highest which was Monday morning. Which btw is the highest I will ever be again!

Oh and my calories will be Aprox 630-650 calories right where they want me to be between 600-800 calories.

Today is my first day of pre-op I will have surgery the 25th. This is my biggest fear in the whole process. I am not worried about the restrictions after at all because I will have my sleeve helping me. But right now I am worried I will screw up the pre-op cause lets be honest I didn't get here cause of my love of shakes and protein. I am really trying. I just am scared of failure. Any tips!?

Day 2 is going much better than day 1 I think yesterday I tried to do to much and be to perfect this ending the day emotionally over whelmed but today I woke up and did things a bit differently. I had 2 scopes of Protein this morning instead of 1 now and 1 later. I am having salad for lunch vs a second shake. And I making London broil for dinner so I have 2 real meals and Aprox 78 grams of protein. I think this was a much better approach for me

Thank you everyone. I guess the mental part of this is the hardest. Am I really hungry?! Or bored or just in the habit of eating at a specific time of day. I am 1/2 way through day 1 so hopefully tonight and I will go to bed early to help with Late night munching thank you for all your support.

The biggest thing I will not miss is when we go to a restaurant and get a booth moving the table so my "belly" isn't smushed by the table

I have a 2 week pre op diet of Protein and veggies No carbs. I have 1 day of Clear liquids going into surgery and no food/drink after 8pm the night before. I use Isopure for my protein supplement.
