Hi guys I am in Washington also. Getting sleeved tomorrow & I've been excited the entire time however, I am starting to freak out a little I know everything will be fine. I need to stop reading some of the forums in here where they are talking about problems and issues some have had after surgery but, I am a little obsessed with this site & you tube videos. I hope everyone does well, please keep us updated

Hey guys...I had surgery on Thursday the 25th and I'm still in the hospital...Sigh*

Why are you still in the hospital? I hope everything gets better for you, please keep us updated

I go on Monday morning, good luck to both of you! I am getting nervous for ht pain, but keeping positive. I will be on puréed Protein starting on day 2 for 4 weeks... I am not sure how that is going to go...

Good luck to you, keep in touch & let us know how it goes

Sleeve day is Thursday. Eeeek!

I made a whole list of chores and such to accomplish this weekend. So far, I'm only about 20% done so tomorrow is either gonna be a really long day, or some of these things just aren't gonna get done!

Getting my bags ready - hospital bag and bag of stuff to take to my parents house. I figure I'll let them pamper me for a day or two before I'm home alone.

Took my "before" pics today. Wish I did this 53lbs ago when I started so I could see how much I've already accomplished, but better late than never, right? Taking the pics made it feel so 'real'.

THIS IS ACTUALLY FN HAPPENING!!! YAY!

I'm excited/nervous/scared/anxious/happy - all at once. It's an interesting emotion!

liquid diet is going well. All my hunger went away when I was taken off my bp meds last week. The very next day it was gone, hasn't come back since. I have no idea if the bp meds had anything to do with it or not.

Looking forward to getting the surgery, getting through my stages, and actually having something TO CHEW ON again.

Happy Saturday, yall!

So excited for you, I go Tuesday

you look great! I can't wait, I get sleeved on Tuesday

Hi Everyone I have my surgery on the 30th and I'm really excited! I have been on the clear liquid diet for exactly1 week and today I am feeling very blah & nauseous so needless to say I have only taken a bath and put new sweats & tank on. I am super fatigued and foggy headed also. I just keep telling myself it will get better very soon I have just learned about all the you tube video's people who share their experiences and what they've done on their journey. I am totally Addicted to watching them...is anyone else like that or am I the only weirdo?!

I had my final preop appointment today. I started my preop diet last thursday and ive lost 12 pounds! Its been so easy! Just days away from the BIG day!!!!!!

My last appt is tomorrow, I'm so excited that its finally here

I'm getting sleeved Tuesday.

I cant wait to be more active, maybe join a women's softball team, hiking, having more confidence & feeling good about myself, going to the gym and not feeling like everyone is looking at or judging you, NO MORE shopping in the plus section and being confined to only a few stores, buying new bras at Victoria Secret, but most of all I will be able to ease my mind knowing that I will be healthier and will be there for my family, being able to play with my granddaughter when she's a little older She's only five months but I want to be ready when the time comes.

I started on Monday and I've had a few crackers on mom and a few pretzels Tuesday I know it's bad. Back on track today I know I have too.

I woke up this morning with the worst headache I had a few crackers Tuesday but that's it. I haven't seen my doctor since January and since then I had gained about 6 pounds.. My grandmother was on hospice for a month so I spent most of my days sitting in the room with my mom and we would eat crap food & lot's of wine just because that's all there was to do. I hate that I allowed myself to do that but it was one of the only things that got me through it. Needless to say, I have my last apt pre-op apt with my doctor this Friday and he's going to think that I either haven't been doing my liquids or know that I gained weight...he's very strict. Well I'm off to get ready for work, nice that someone replied to one of my posts When is your surgery?

Yeah I'm excited are you? I'm on the liquid diet. I look forward to starting a new chapter in my life.

I'm scheduled for April 30th...Super excited to start a new life & to feel more comfortable in my own skin. Looking to share this experience with other people going through the same thing. I started my liquid diet on Saturday...today was the toughest so far. I went to the grocery store. I know it sounds silly but I haven't eaten anything other than broth, Jello, popsicle's and Water since Saturday.

New Beginnings' & New friends

My dr wrote me off for 4 weeks! I work in heathcare and my job can require heavy lifting' date=' pushing, etc.[/quote']

I too am in healthcare, they wrote for me to be off for 6weeks but I told them I wanted to go back after 2 weeks.

I don't have a lot of lifting so I should be good to go as long as everything goes as planned

Mtpatter

I also took 10 days

I had a friend who took 7 buy she ended up having to go in for IV fluids and take an additional 4 days off

I am also scheduled for the 30th!

Excited & scared all at the same time, I know it'll be worth it in the end

I have in my arms and I go to the gym 5 of the week

The thought of excess skin is terrifying, it's really the only thing that has given me true anxiety. I started my journey last July and I have changes my mind about 4 times because I'm so afraid of having it. I have decided that it's just going to happen but I will definitely be in the gym at least 5 days a week possibly 6. my problem areas are my arms and abdominal region.
