Being able to get on a rollercoaster without being kicked off because the sealtbelt is too small. Feeling pretty when I put on a dress for sunday church! Putting on a pair of jeans that the size is in the single digits! Not having to wear Spanx all the time! And sooooo many others!!! Can't wait!!

Thank for the re-post and advice. It definitely changed my attitude towards the pre-op diet! Only want positive attitude towards my liquid diet now! Thanks again!

Start my liquid diet on May 27th. I've tried starting it early but my eating habbits have not been so good lately and now I feel like I have a headache and am hungry all the time. Right noe I still have the luxury of caving into food. But next week I won't have that option. I have learned to love my protien shakes by adding coffee and sugar free flavors like hazelnut, carmel and rasberry. But still feel real hungry.I don't want to cheat or cave into food. Any tips on how I can do this without feeling so darn hungry???

Congratulations!!! Your date is so close! Keep us posted!!!

We are sleeve sisters! I'm so excited! It's all I think about!!! Time to change our lives!!

I feel the same way! I'm all full of emotions. Somedays I'm excited and ready to do it. Other days I'm nervous and anxious! I think its normal. I have a love/hate relationship with food. So I'm scared on how that dynamic will change.

Mine is June 3rd. I'm so nervous and excited. Its a big step. Praying that God helps me through this journey!

In a sense it doesn't matter what they think because either way I'm going to do it. But I do have to see these people 40+ hours a week and the negative comments would bother me. I really don't want to come to work and feel the negativity bring me down. I won't lie about it. I just don't have to tell them.

Wow, I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this way. I work with many nutritionist and I know that I would get an ear full of why they think I shouldn't do it. Specially since I've already lost 30lbs on my own. I've heard the conversations they've had about other people that have had surgery. I don't want to be the talk of the work place. Plus everyone judges without knowing what its like. Thanks guys! This makes me feel so much better. Surgery date june 3rd! Can't wait!

IS ANYONE EMBARRASSED TO TELL PEOPLE YOU ARE HAVING THE SURGERY? I WORK WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE AND HAVEN'T TOLD ANYONE. I HAVEN'T EVEN TOLD ALL MY SISTERS OR MY BEST FRIEND. I GUESS I'M A LITTLE EMBARRASSED AND ALSO DONT WANT EVERYONES OPINION OF WHETHER I SHOULD DO IT OR NOT. I ALMOST FEEL LIKE IM HIDING THIS HUGE BAD SECRET.

Have all of my pre-ops done. Just waiting for the big day. June 3rd!

My surgery is June 3rd. So excited and nervous at the same time.
