Congratulations!

Good Morning ,
Well I just had to share It's been 3 1/2 months since my surgery and I'm down about 60 pds. I have gone from a 22 to 14 and I'm living life now. I feel amazing this is the best thing I have ever done. Only wish I had done it sooner. Just wanted to share . If you thinking of doing it just do it . It will be the best thing you ever do for yourself. The first picture is a year ago and the second was last night.

Congratulations! YOU LOOK WONDERFUL!

Congratulations! YOU LOOK WONDERFUL!

Yes thank god there were no leaks am feeling much much better the only plan is to stay the hydrated and eat am much much better. Thanks for concern

Thanks splatter am trying

Had surgery 2/26 and am still in liquid phase. Husband made last minute plans with friends for dinner. I was a bit freaked out. I drank half a Protein Shake on the way to the restaurant and then ordered a cup of corn chowder. It ended up being more chunky than I expected but I was able to skim the broth off the top and act normal. Friends commented wondering if Soup was ok and I just let them know I was eating a lot less these days. I SURVIVED!!! And I'm a cheap date at $2.99!!!

I made it to the loser bench! Surgery date 3/6

So TODAY IS THE DAY I BEEN WAITING FOR, FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. I HAVE TO BE AT THE HOSPITAL AT 7:30 SURGERY IS TEN O CLOCK.

Thanks everyone am in the waiting area

My feet used to swell before and now they have gone down significantly. I am loving the fact that I can wear just about any type of cute heel for hours without being miserable.

Hello all -
I know several of us are hitting our 1 month mark this week. Mine is today.
The body is an incredible thing, truly. It's a healing machine quite frankly.
At one and two weeks out:
-you wonder what you have done to yourself and you are pretty sure you will never feel quite normal again
-you can't imagine yourself ever sleeping anywhere but the living room recliner
-the thought of driving or going back to work seems like an unrealistic commitment you made Way Back Before Surgery
-you can get in so little Water and Protein that it dawns on you that THESE are the weeks that will cause Hair loss several months from now
-you learn what "sliming" is (ewwww)
-MyFitnessPal tells you repeatedly: "You are getting too few calories. If every day were like today, you would be DEAD in 5 weeks."
At three weeks out:
-you feel better but not really there yet
-you need extra naps on the weekend
-getting in your water and protein can be done with the effort of a full time job
-you have a strange painful stitch in your side that you've resigned yourself to bravely live with the rest of your life
-you accidentally sleep all night with the heating pad on your largest incision site on its highest setting
-you walk 20 minutes on the treadmill and then come onto this site and disbelievingly post, "WHEN did they say I should start exercising????"
-your body decides you must be on a grueling episode of Survivor and goes into starvation mode yielding the world's most devastating weight loss stall prompting you to decide that you are a failure and did this all for NOTHING
At four weeks out:
-you sleep in your own bed in whatever position you want
-the fire-hazardous heating pad gets put away
-you walk 2+ miles at lunch and think maybe you could have done more
-you have enough energy to really start cleaning the house again and get totally aggravated at hubby and kids for how little they managed to do for the past month
-you randomly feel happy, mad, silly, sad as hormones and emotions take their toll
-you have to pack up the first set of clothes which are now too big
-you feel healthy....dare I say...normal?
Yep, the first month is kind of amazing.

I used to be a size 8 then with weight gain I went up to a 9 1/2 and now back to an 8

Congrats I felt this same way a week and a half ago and my surgery day is this Thursday so ill be holding a seat for you!

Jsc2014 glad everything worked out good for you.

Well... I'm here at the hospital. Ready to go! Only a little bit nervous. Ha not! I had to take 2 Xanax just to get out of the car. But.... I'm here and all checked in. I will update everyone as soon as possible. I'll try to spare you my drug induced day one ramblings! Good luck to everyone else... Keep with the pre op diets. I know it sucks but it's worth it! - Lady Katie Bug xoxo

Congrats to you!

Congrats rmc I go for mine on Tuesday the 25th and I can't wait.

Congrats SASSYPANTS I can't wait for this to happen in the summer with my family.

So tomorrow I go for my pre ADMISSION TESTING AND CLASS!

So tomorrow I go for my pre ADMISSION TESTING AND CLASS!

I wore sweats to & from hospital. I packed an extra pair of sweats & undies. So glad I did because I had to stay an extra day & felt good that I was able to refresh. my cell phone & charger. I packed the basic toiletries. So glad I did because they gave me mouthwash, but no toothbrush or toothpaste. You'll need Chapstick and a head scarf/hat. I downloaded books to read on my smart phone, but I didn't read. Between walking every two hours, chit chatting & watching TV with the husband, & napping, no time to read.
Good luck to you!!!

Hey Melle we're gonna be sleeve buddies my surgery is on the 6th and am wishing you nothing of the best this time round on your preop DIET
