Coreena reacted to NellieBean in July 2013 Sleevers
I was sleeved on the 17th and had my first follow-up yesterday. I have my release to go back to work Monday the 29th. I was itching to go back, I thought, this past Monday, but even my boss wanted me to take the week to heal and come back the 29th because he did not want to pick me off the floor if I rushed it. In the end, that was probably a good idea since even taking a 20 minute walk the first couple of days this week ended with a long nap.
I am now on pureed foods and had the best Greek yogurt ever for dinner tonight. Tomorrow I might try some tuna and saltines.
The pain was never horrible, I would say never more than a 2 or 3.

Coreena reacted to Lia M in Stories we tell...how do you not "lie" without saying you had WLS?
Yeah, I think it's personal preference really. I tell anyone, I am very proud that I was brave enough to do this and am taking control. I figure people judge you no matter what you do, so rather than them judging me for being heavy, let them judge me for doing something about it. If I really didn't want to tell someone, I probably would just say, "The Old Fashioned Way........A LOT of work!" Grins.......

Having my sleeve on Aug 12 in the Texas Medical Center ~ Houston! I feel blessed to live near such a great team of professionals. Learning about the support groups, etc...it is starting to sink in now. I started the journey in Jan 2013 and just got the surgery date. Start the pre-op diet tomorrow.

Me! My surgery is on the 12th. Starting my pre-op diet tomorrow!! I woke up thinking "Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life!" It's time to truly make a lifestyle change! I've made a realization that not only will I change the way I eat, and start exercising, but I need to work on loving me for me, regardless of my looks. I am my own worst critic. Although we have some possible struggles ahead of us, I'm so excited to start the journey! I wish everyone the best as we begin our pre-op diets and upcoming surgery!

Coreena got a reaction from miss_cee85 in How did you decide if this was right for you vs other bariatric procedures
I am in it for the same reasons. August 12th. I start my two week diet tomorrow. I have been working towards it since Jan. it is really sinking in now. I am nervously excited!

I am going for the sleeve as it preserves the pyloric valve and isn't likely to cause malnutrition. Lapband has too many complications.
