sleeved 4/23 sw 308, cw 254. goal to get to 250 by month end...

I told my close friends. the family knows. so far all have been supportive. haven't told my hater 'friends', or others i'm not close to.

i'm newly sleeved, but it seems you're progressing too fast! based on what I've read and i did a lot of research before i agreed to this surgery, you should still be eating soft or pureed foods. i know different Drs have different methods, but go slow. it will get better.

i love the swansons broths! yes the tortilla soup one is great! i also bought the italian soup mix one. havent tried it yet, but it does spice up this broth phase!

morphine, surgery...ok. so time for another benadryl!

i'm cold too. never have been. worried my kid, sitting here with the blanket over me! lol something new every day!!

something hs me itching like crazy. different spots on my body at a time. i thought it was the tape from my heart leads, but no i am itching on my back, sides, neck,, boobs...!!! going to take a benedryl this happen to anyone?

yes, there nothing like a good support group! stay with them!

i just had my thru Kaiser Fontana, and the surgeon operates out of St Bernadine in San Bernardino. went thru options for 12 weeks once a week.i still hadnt decided to do it. my class was over in October. i didnt make up my mind until January. i had some additional tests to take, but saw the surgeon on March 23 for my April 23 surgery date.

today is my day! feeling crazy because my pills didnt go down with such a small sip of water ... oh well. wish me luck, see you on the losers bench!!

how are you feeling? i havent had mine as yet, dont know how much help i'll be until i do. so far you seem to be dong well! Marie

the So Cal Kaiser options class is now 12 weeks, 3 months. i finished it back in early October. hadnt made up my mind to have surgery....until this year. I spoke to my bariatric Dr and asked her to schedule me to see the surgeon. He scheduled me for a month out! and ive been on 1200 cal diet since then. down 12 lbs. i'm 9 days away and trying liquids every other day til then.

this is my fear as well. too many friends and family speak of how i'll look different, what if i dont???

My Dr put me on a 1200 calorie diet only for the month prior to surgery. so far i'm down 12 lbs. Isopure is the best protein i've found. Come on 4/23!

congrats to you! i too am having my surgery this month 4/23 and my birthday is 4/29! this indeed is a great birthday present, let us make the most of it. i will post as soon as i get out of the hospital. good luck to you. Marie
