WeightStruggle

Thank you! Glad things went well for you. Feel better soon!!

Ok so today is my last day at work until after surgery. Went to Boot Camp yesterday. That was very informative. I'm down 8 1/2 lbs from pre op diet which I started on Tuesday, 3/5/13. My dr seemed pleased. It probably would've been more if I hadn't had that delicious bite of my husbands turkey burger on wheat bun! #DontJudgeMe!! :/ I'm anxious to get this part over with. Wishing all sleevers the best!! This journey has no doubt been difficult but I know it will be SO worth it when I can shop in a REGULAR sized clothing store! Ha! It's the little things!! Have a great weekend all!

So tomorrow is the big day. My stomach has been doing flips all day just thinking about it but I'm so ready!! I can't even imagine what I'll look like in a few months. All of my childhood/teenage pictures burned in a house fire and I don't remember how I looked when I was thin!! I will 'talk' to you tomorrow!! Prayers and well wishes to all.

I am having my revision done tomorrow and I am very scared of failing again. I'm also afraid of having another surgery but the support and success stories on here are helping me.

Wishing you the best!! We'll all be just fine!!

Ok so I'm on day 6 of my pre-op diet and you guys/gals were right!! It's getting easier! I'm not lightheaded and having headaches anymore. I think my food addiction is like any other addiction because I SWEAR I was having food withdrawals!! I am still very anxious/nervous; surgery is 1 week from tomorrow but SO looking forward to this journey. I'm 38 and have been fighting this weight struggle since I was 18 and 190lbs!! Good luck to those scheduled for their surgeries!! We can do this!!

Thank you!! I'm beyond scared! I'm SCURRED! You are not alone!! You'll be fine!! What is your date? Best of luck!

Have you done your gastro, cardio and pulmonary tests already? The only thing I had to do today was give blood, sign paperwork and meet an anesthesiologist. When is your date? Best of luck!

Just realized I put the wrong date!! My sleeve is March 19...not the 29th!!

Thank you!! I am very excited!!

Skinny wishes!!! YES! I love that!! Thank you so much!

I feel your pain! Day 4 I was ready to eat a double cheeseburger with extra everything but I just went to bed early to curb the hunger!! I just keep telling myself it will be SO worth it in the end!! Best of luck on March 25!! I'm so ready for this but scared too!!

That's what I've been doing. I finally found a Protein Shake I like (chocolate of course)!! Good luck in your surgery!! March 19th!! Here we come!

I can't wait to get this band out!! Best of luck on your upcoming surgery!!

My date is the 19th too!! Didn't know I could have a slim fast. I'll give that a try too. Thanks again for the advice.

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery!! My big day is 3/19. I'm anxious and nervous!! I'm going to try the string cheese. Hope that works!! Thanks!!

Thanks for the encouragement!! I'm going to hang in there but it's tough!! One day at a time.

I'll try the broth tonight. Congratulations on 47lbs down! Can't wait to hit that mark or any mark for that matter!!

Glad to hear you're doing well. I'm scheduled for March 19th and am freaking out but stories like yours give me hope!!
