Thanks... Yeah I was also told when you have fair skin you have a lot of pain... I also had hiatal hernia repair and gall bladder removed..
What about the eating I asked about

Yes mam! I'm an addict. It's hard not to eat. I eat for fun...I eat when I'm sad, I eat when I'm happy, I eat when I see anything that resembles golden arches, a crown or a little red headed girl with pig tales...Honestly that's why I'm here. I can't do this alone. My give a damn is busted and I've never been able to perceive the concept of will power. I am looking at this as my chance to start over. My chance to retrain my brain....for my brain to learn to listen to my stomach. I reach for the potato chip like the smoker lights a cigarette or the gambler rolls the dice. It's swallowed before I even realized I picked it up. My best guess tells me it's gonna get harder before I'm done but we can do this. We are strong or we wouldn't be here. We have never been perfect and this procedure will not make us perfect. There is not a perfect person here. We are still human but we can do this. We can get past our moments of weakness and we are arming ourselves with an awesome tool to help us. Do not be hard on yourself when you feel this way. Instead know that you have an army of us here that will lend support. Good luck friend, you've go this!!

You are NOT being selfish. You are doing it to be around for your kids! You are doing it for your health, you are DOING SO YOUR KIDS CAN ENJOY THEIR MOTHER LONGER! That is not selfish. Selfish is leaving, or threatening some to leave as they try to get a handle on their health.
Good luck to you! But sounds like he needs counseling too
Best of luck

@@chellede you are freaking awesome! The time you take to reach out is so awesome! I haven't yet tried more Vitamins but will tomorrow ... They finally called back and said sometimes tastes and textures are funky right after surgery so keep calm and try a different one lol

Hello Oct Sleevers
I had my sleeve done yesterday afternoon and im doing well. Not much pain but I had some nausea. I have my swallow nest in a few hours. I have been thirsty but not hungry. Three of the nurses here had the sleeve done by my surgeon I. They all look good.

im also tomorrow!!checkin at 5 45 am!!good luck!

I'm having my surgery on the 6th. Less than 48hrs! I'm very excited and can't wait. My pre op weight loss has been minimal, but oh well. Post op is where it's at if anyone wants to exchange emails or numbers so we can keep in better contact and support one another better than just message me. Good luck everyone!

Wednesday is the day!!! the first day of the rest of my life!
I am so excited and nervous all at the same time.
Good luck to everyone having their procedure this week.

There is nothing about being fat or unhealthy that I will miss. Not one single thing.

I am Oct 6th as well. Getting excited

oct 6,so excited!!

I can totally relate to what you're experiencing. I have a few co-workers that are treating me different. I consider them my friends so I decided to inform them of my surgery. They're not talking to me but I'm not going to let it bother me. I think more of this will come has I get further along in my journey.

Wow this is amazing, so many of us. Mine is October 6th and I am starving, all I was thinking about today was Pasta. But I'm soooo excited it's almost finally over. Lets keep in touch.

I'm in Oct 6th and I have driven myself crazy with my nerves. I'm excited and nervous all at once. I can't wait to drop some pounds and get back to normal. At the same time this is a big commitment and a new journey.

Hey everyone, my op is the 6th October. I'm so nervous. I've literally packed a hospital bag full of things I don't even think I'll need.
I also feel that the closer I'm getting, the more jealous my closest friend is becoming. She knows how long I've wanted this but now I'm on the pre-op diet she just feels the need not to invite me out to places with our joint friends.
But, at the moment I'm not that bothered to be fair. This Monday I'm getting sleeved and nothing can bring down my good mood!
Good luck to everyone and please add me as a friend so we can all keep in contact!

Hey everyone, hope everyone is doing well with pre-op diet if you had to be on one. Okay guys I don't know what to do with myself because I'm so excited lol. I have 4 days until surgery day , wow I can't believe it but I wish it was tomorrow. I know some of you can relate.
