Oops late. Stall broken 176

I am having my sleeve done tomorrow 05/07 I can't wait everyone support here is great looking forward to see how well everyone does

Hi everyone! I had my surgery yesterday, 5/5. I just got home from the hospital. I have 6 incisions and two of them hurt pretty bad. Getting in or out of bed is the worst. I also have a lot of shoulder pain from the excess gas. I was out of it most of yesterday so did not start feeling the pain until last night. I am so relieved it is over - I was super nervous. Also glad to report that I am not hungry - a welcome change from the pre-op liquid diet.

Tomorrow for me, I gotta be there at 8! I'm nervous, and excited!

Ok. All set for 1 tomorrow. Breathe. I dont know why I am so scared i will be asleep.

That's great!!! Very happy to know your medicine gone off , I'm also five months post opp & my bp tablets are also stoped.

So today I hit the big 40... That is I have lost 40lbs.. I'm now 5 weeks out, and for the first time in 30 years, off all blood pressure meds and feeling great..
Walk, Drink, Pee but most of all pray.. it's all about prayer...

Wow love that quote. Thank you!

Just had mine yesterday!

I read something today on Facebook that I never though of and like it...... WE ARE NOT FAT, WE HAVE FAT!! A small quote that meant huge to me, because well we are getting rid of the fat we have, however we are all the same person before and after our surgery, it's the people outside that make us feel like we are different because of the "fat" we are carrying, I hope this makes sense, it's 3:35am and I'm sleepy from a long night at work but I so look forward to coming on here before I go to bed and I couldn't wait to share this

Good luck to you! I will be sleeved Thursday, and praying for a great surgery and a speedy recovery to all of us!

I will be sleeved tomorrow morning @ 6am. Wish me luck as I will wish you luck

I'm scheduled for May 8th. Nerves are all over the place! Been on pre op diet since April 25th, and have lost 7lbs, trying to make it to Thursday,just get lightheaded at times, drinking Vitamin Water zero for electrolytes. "I really can't believe I'm doing this", which from what I've read, goes through most everyone's mind. I pray for all of us who take this bold step! Sending positive thoughts your way!

Mine is at 10am..gotta be there by 8..i am ready!

broth has definitely helped. Had my surgery May 1st. Still a little sore but no hunger. Feeling like this was the best gift I could ever give myself.

I drank some broth tonight and omg it tasted like the best ever. Haha. I've been drinking soy milk and drinking Water. Not feeling hungry just head hungry really. But I am down 9 pounds since my surgery weight. I had surgery on Thursday the 1st.

Mu surgery is wednesday the 7th and i am on day 5 of the pre op diet..so far so good, just anxiously waiting.

Getting sleeved Wednesday.

I totally get it. I often often often wonder how I can be so big yet so invisible.
I have to add a few of my own...a few borrowed from others....
.......meds
.......clothes with an X
.......granny panties
.......a swimsuit with a skirt
.......pain when I bend over
.......people asking can you eat that?
Thanks I needed that!

Today my weight is 199, I can't even begin to express how happy I am to see a '1' in front of my weigh. What a great feeling! and I am only 1 pound away from being officially at the half way point. Awesome!!

I have to say this is my favorite thread on the forum right now. I keep reading updates daily to remind me exactly why it's all worth it and to keep me focused and mindful that this is the most worthwhile commitment i will ever make. I really appreciate everyone sharing and being so candid.
Today's Thing I won't miss: paying other people to do stuff I could do if I were fit - Washing cars, mowing lawns, pool care, home repairs.

My Sleeve Day is the day after y'all and I am really nervous but more excited than anything. I have been on my post op diet for 3 days. I hope this prepares us for life with the sleeve. I am just ready to get on with everthing, although my journey has been a fast one. I just realized today that 1 month ago I had my 1st consulatation and now in 2 weeks I'll have my dream. My insurance will only pay 25% after I spend 1 year on their supervised diet. Forget that, I have a hernia...getting it paid for and this little something on the side. I figure I spend $300 on food a month now, $135 of that can cover the financing of my part of the sleeve.

Yes they told me at my pre op appointment. I have to be there at 630 and surgery is at 830!!

Did 1 1/2 miles on my trike...Yippee...am very tired right now!!
