I miss drinking with meals, also it makes it so much harder to get all the Water I need. As far as people knowing, I was embarrassed about it at first, but the reaction was so positive from the few people I told. I said the heck with it, and now I'm very open about it, so far all the feedback has all been positive. The way I see it is I took the steps I needed to fix myself and become healthy, if anyone has a problem with that, then who needs them. You'll see your confidence will grow as you lose the weight and you won't even care what the haters say.

Iam totally loving my sleeve life. I just started working out and love the fact that I can Jog now without shortness of breath :-)

Or people taking behind your back because you decided to change. I don't know if I should tell them truth about being sleeved or let them talk all they want. The sucky part is I paid my surgery. I told one of " my best friend" and now everyone is saying I should have money. I have a long story to say ... But my husband passed away a year ago. And left me in his life insurance and since then all his family has hate me. I just wish he was alive to avoid all this drama n heartache. I'm doing this for me and no-one else.

Again and again I must say....throw that @&$£*^€ scale away! Hehe. You shouldn't be weighing all the time in the beginning. It drives you crazy.

I'm feeling positive about my surgery.the only pain I have is internal brusing from the incisions but that's it. I can't wait to start the gym

The judgement IS the worst. @vane86. I'm so sorry for your loss & your husband's family's reaction. This is a hard enough personal struggle without having to add hateful inlaws, coworkers, neighbors or people you thought were your friends. I couldn't imagine doing this without my husband. He's been a gem! He told me I was always gorgeous, I'm just showing off now. LOL. I LOVE that man!

Mine personally is being dehydrated. I love Water. So my goal is having to pee clear. But it's not impossible. I have 5 days out of surgery and I hate seeing orange when I go use the ladies room. Ooo and being constipated too. :-\:-[

Vane86, I am so sorry for your loss of your husband. It seems to me that it would be natural for your husband to leave you everything. You are his wife.
Good for you for doing something to take care of your health! I wish you the best!!

The one thing that I dont like, although it is probably what normal people do, is having to think about everything that I eat and making it count. Although I am hard pressed to find anything that I dont like about my sleeve. I would do it again in a heartbeat!!!!!!

I dont hate anything. Even the Hair loss is something I don't take negatively. The sleeve has been my lifeline to such a better life. So I just don't dwell on my hair.
I'm very fortunate and have not had any issues what so ever.

Hope we all overcome this together. Thanks for all your advice. I've been drinking Water myself but I wish I could chugged it in. Bit it won't happen. My cuts are still painful but hopefully it goes away. My prayers for all of you for a safe revovery.

Well guys surgery went well but in a lot a lot of pain. Since I also had my gallbladder removed.

Heavenly Father!You know my state! I am gripped by anxiety over the surgery I have to undergo! I am very much frightened of the outcome!Master! Your word says that You will strengthen me on my bed of illness and that You will sustain me on my sickbed. Yes Lord! I trust Your word and turn to You for help. Human wisdom and skill are nothing before You. So, please fill the doctors who attend to me with Your divine wisdom Lord so that they can perform the surgery in a perfect manner. Take all those who assist them, in Your hands and keep them as Your instruments in bringing healing to me. I cling to Your promise that You are always with me, wherever I go! You never forget the cry of the humble. Lord! Hold my hand tightly and grant me Your peace so that I can undergo this surgery courageously. I know You will certainly do it because You are the one who perfects everything for me. I totally rest upon You and thank You for being with me. In Your precious name - I prayAmen.
My surgery is set to be today at 5am. God please be with me ....
