Haha I'm a week out and i don't know if I'm full or hungry. I just can't tell! Lol

I have a question, how many incisions do you all have? I have 5

Valparaiso, Chile - South America =D

Hey guys I'm going home tomorrow! I can't wait to sleep in my own bed haha. Good luck to those having surgery during this week and I hope everyone has a quick and great recovery. =D

Haha thanks all! I have to wait till I can get back on the pill to have sexy time haha. My doctor said it could produce some kind of complication.

I have a drain and it's been on since Tuesday. The doctor said it'll be gone by tomorrow before I leave to go home.

Family, close friends, boyfriend and maybe 1 or 2 others. I told everybody I was getting surgery on my liver and other stomach problems

2 days post op and I feel..alright. My stomach still hurts but I just got the okay on drinking liquids and some jello. I hope the pain goes away soon.

Lots and lots of vomiting.

Hey all! It's my second day at the hospital. The surgery went fine, I had some complications but I'm all better now. I still haven't had water and I'm parched haha. Good luck to all!

I'm surprisingly calm. I'm on my way to the hospital right now to get the surgery done. =) I bet that when I actually get there ill start panicking with nerves though haha.

Haha great =P thanks all. Guess its just a matter of experimentation. =)

Hello ladies =) just wondering how much time after surgery can you do the bump bump? Lmao. It's embarrassing but I'm curious! The boyfriend wants to know also. =P

AAHH just 8 more hours till my surgery! This is it. I'm so happy. =D

Thank you all so so much. I'm in bed right now ands have to wake up at 6am to get ready. Aaah I'm anxious! I'll keep you all posted. Thank you for the support.

Thank you everybody =)

Thank you =)

After much deliberation and confusion, I have decided to get a gastric not just to lose weight, also to be a lot healthier. I know I have a lot of medical issues cause of my unearthly lifestyle and I am completely ready to change. So tomorrow is the day =D I am scheduled at 10am. I am really anxious and excited, but most of all, I want to see how much my life is going to change. I'm surprised with myself for going through this liquid diet and actually making it without solid food for this long. I'm really proud of myself. So wish me luck! Trust me, I made this decision for myself and no one else. =D

Thank you =) thanks to everyone for the replies.

Trust me, I've read the replies over and over. I knoW I still have a lot to think about. I know that whatever I decide I have to think about myself.

Maybe in the long run it'll be good for me. Maybe I'll be happy.

Thanks everyone =) I'm really still not sure why to do, but I'm still leaning towards actually doing this. Maybe it'll be okay.

Sorry for writing so much. I have so much on my mind.

Hey guys =) It is 5:38 in the morning and I haven't been able to sleep thinking about this surgery. My parents talked to me last night and asked me how I felt about the surgery, and my answer was "I don't know, its already scheduled so let's get it over with." I think I should tell you my history a little bit: Weight has always been an issue with my parents. MY weight to be exact. I actually had liposuction when I was 15, and I lost weight but I gained it all back when I entered college last year. Ive tried diet pills, diet, exercise, Gyms, everything. . My parents have talked about this sleeve since the middle of last year and I didn't want to so it. They tried to convince my boyfriend into persuading me into getting it around the beginning of January. When we talked about it he said "I'm sick of your parents being so obsessed over your weight and this surgery. I would get it done just so they don't bother you anymore". I said I felt the exact same way. So after fights and fights I said okay...I'll do it. I just want them to leave me alone. Here's the thing, I'm not "sure" I want to do this. I love to eat. I love food. I would be a chef if I could. I Love to cook and try new things. I'm known for eating a lot, and for not caring if I'm thin or not. I know this surgery isn't about being thin, it's about being healthy. Yeah I know. It just seems that being thin is all that matters here. I I'm scheduled for surgery on the 22nd of this month and I'm absolutely freaking out. I don't know if I want to do this. I need help...please. I need orientation.
