  1. Well I guess I can cross that concern off my list, THAMKS ALL!
  2. I just a couple weeks Pre-Op, Once sleeved was wondering if people with hypothyroidism share similar results with weight loss or is it slower?
  3. My surgery date is 2/28, so its coming very fast. I'm really looking forward to it and I am really not nervous at all, RATHER my biggest fear is once I am sleeved that I will still have the same very strong hunger drive and will want to eat like I use to and I will have to fight that off constantly. I understand the surgery is just a tool and that I need to do my part and eat healthy, I get that however if it was so easy all the diets I have been on would of worked better for me. I'm counting (praying) that my hunger drive is much less. Can anyone ease my mind or am I doomed??
  4. Thanks Ladies, you replies provide me with much needed support. I am not going to Lie, my planned response when asked about my weight will be " I'm eating much less these days" Hopefully that will suffice! Best of luck to you all!
  5. 20 Days and counting for me, BEST OF LUCK!
  6. The count down is one. 1 week to pre-diet. Started getting everything on my list together. Like most, excited and nervous at the time. Question; how many of you told people outside of your very inner circle what you were doing? I have only told my Wife, Son and Mom. Even my Dad does not know yet. Not good at keeping secrets lol) I also told my long time very close friend that I was thinking about it but have not told he I have confirmed. I value his opinion and he was definitely leaning towards me not doing it. I am doing the right thing here by going through with it right?? Weight Mgt. 1/3 Phsyc Eval 1/3 Upper GI 1/3 Chest Xray 1/3 Ultra Sound 1/3 Sleep Study 1/9 · Received Approval From HealthPartners 1/9 Support Group, scheduled for 1/29 HealthPartners Weight Mgt. completed 1/17 & 1/25, next 2/4 Penn Weigh Mgt. 2/5 Cardiac Clearance 2/5 Pulmonary Functions 2/5 Blood work 2/15 Nutrient Class 2/15 Pre-Op2/15 Surgery 2/28
