I am only 5 days post op gastric sleeve and I just licked and sucked the cheese off of a .25 cent bag of Doritos. I didn't eat the chips. All chips are in the garbage. But I feel like a failure. It's too soon to indulge in cravings and I just dived in. Not a good sign. :(

Surgery done. Yeahhhh. Today is my first day back at home. The pain from the gas is terrible. I've been up walking constantly but it's just stuck moving around my stomach. This has pain is the absolute worst. I pray it goes away really soon. I don't know how much more I can take.

I'm sitting in the hospital waiting on my surgery. I have been calm all the way until now. I spoke to my 9year old daughter over the phone and she started crying now I feel like I'm about to have a panic attack. Ughhhhhh

My surgery is on March 12. My pre op diet starts tomorrow. I only have to do a week of liquids. I'm excited!!!!! I'm nervous!!!!!! I'm hoping to be out of work for just a week. I have a desk job. I occasionally have to get up to get papers out the copier other then that drive to work and home. We'll my 1 week count down starts tomorrow!! Yeahhhhhh! When should I do my measurements and before pics?

I'm excited for you!! YES, it has to be done!!!!! I hope all goes well may god be with you throughout your journey!!! My surgery is 3/12/14 I'm excited and nervousness at the same time.

Now that I have my date I feel like it happen so fast! The count down has began. How about you are you ready? Nervous? Counting down? Who have you told, if anyone? I know for me no one knows. Now that I got my date I got to find a way to tell my husband. It all happen do fast. ????????????

Darneka1 We are in the same boat mine is scheduled for March 12. I'm excited and nervousness at the same time. When do you start your pre op Louis diet. I haven't even started to sample the protein drinks yet.

DirtyHarriett - I didn't think of that!!! Even though my doctor has never mentioned it. I will ask, if that's the case and it is required I will tell him.

I have told no one of my surgery. Not even my husband. Everyone thinks I am having surgery because of ulcers. I have no idea what I'm going to do when my husband come to the hospital. I don't know if the doctor is going to tell him. I hope not. I hope my husband doesn't start asking questions. Do I feel bad..... Yes, of course. I'm doing this for me. I didn't want negative feedback on my decision. I didn't want opinions, questions, or concerns. I know my family will support me but they talk to much. My mom has always told me the best person to tell you secret to is yourself. So that is what I did.... Kept it to myself. Now, the ulcer wasn't a complete lie because while on this gastric sleeve journey I found out that I had ulcers but they healed with medication and diet. Don't get me wrong I feel guilty........ BUT; I have worked so hard for my family and friends. Put so much before myself and woke up one day realizing I didn't know who "I was" anymore. I was 5'4 200 lbs with bad knees and back. I spent 10 years in the military proudly before getting medically discharged. I was so consumed in my family and everyday life that I couldn't tell you what made me happy anymore. I had faked my smile for so long I couldn't even tell you what was real and what smile was fake. So I needed to do things for me. Mentally..... Spiritually ....... And physically! That is what I have done. For 3 years I have slowly got back to me and I am happy. So I made this choice for me and me alone. This was my gift to myself. Yes it was selfish not telling my husband and family and I maybe wrong, but I am proud of myself and I love me!!! My husband loves me and my family. Right now I am going through my pre op liquid diet my surgery is 1 March 2014. And nobody knows that I'm having gastric sleeve surgery but me.
