Thank you so much for your reply.. Congrats on your pregnancy!! it is a blessing I'm going to see my gyn sometime next week for sure... I got sleeved on 2/4 I'm honestly sooooooo scared... I have a 6yr daughter that begs me everyday for a sister it was so hard to have her she is my miracle baby... Haven't been prego since!! I have a whole in one of my Fallopian tubes & it makes it very difficult for me to carry a baby.... So like I said before I'm super happy but scared becuz it's so soon after my surgery... I'm 18lbs away from my goal but at this moment in life who cares!!! I leave it in gods hands he knows best....

You guys are not alone.. I'm post-op day #6 & I did my liquid diet Protein Shakes for 2weeks before my surgery... All I had was dinner & I made sure all my dinners where my favorite foods except for Chinese food lol I did have my shakes for Breakfast & lunch on the last night of the old me & half a cheeseburger with onions & mushrooms with 2 fried Oreos as my treat!! Oh em gee ... After midnight that's it!! .. I felt horrible doing it but it taste oh so good now I been on a official liquid diet since Tuesday which isn't that bad at all.. I feel so full it takes me about 1hr to drink 4ounces of liquid.. The bloating feeling is just there ugh! Other than that good luck to you all... #teamsleeves

I don't think I can say enough about how happy I am now, that I got the sleeve. I will totally say, that there was a point of regret about 3 months after where I thought I made a mistake, but that was only because I was just starting to get the hang of life after being sleeved. I also had some minor complications in the hospital that made me feel like I was going to die, but after a day I was over it.
I can now proudly say that I am medicaion free. My bloodpressure is normal, and I am not longer pre-diabetic. I am close to being one of the rare ladies who successfully puts her PCOS in remission state. I can not put in words what this means to me. It brings tears of joy! I am 40 pounds from my goal weight. I went from a size 20/22 to a size 14 (and counting down to my goal of size 10).
Things to keep in mind when making your decision.... it is not the easy way out. It still requires you to make all the correct mental decisions (in fact in some ways, its more important post-op). When you eat, you need to eat with nutrition in mind, and not just taste. Tattoo the basics of post-sleeve life on your arm or something, they need to be a part of your daily life forever (Protien, Vitamins, & Hydration). Remember that you are having a surgery that is a big life change, that means forever. It will happen fast, but it won't happen over night... also, the less weight you have to lose, the less you'll see some of the huge numbers other's see (I had to realize this myself).
Would I recommend the sleeve, if everything else has falled you... if you have health concerns you're worried over...if you mentally are ready to change your eating habits for good... heck yes, I would recommend the sleeve.

I hated smells for a week. Not cause they made me hungry they made my belly turn. However now I 3 weeks out and want to chew!!!!!

The food smells get me the most......

It's ok sky! It gets better. You will feel great in no time. Few more days and you will be happy!

So, feeling achy but not horrible. food commercials and food smells are killing me.... I feel so hungry.
