Mine is scheduled for July 1st and I know it's the right thing to do but pain terrifies me! Fear of failure terrifies me! I feel panic attacks as I read stuff on the Internet! I am judged by those around me who say I am copping out and I just need to get off my behind. How can I stop from getting in my own head and questioning myself because I know if I don't do it now I may never get another chance?

So thank you all, my surgery date was moved up by 2 weeks and I had it done on Monday. I am in great spirits was only down 3 days and already down 10 lbs, woohoo go me!

One way to minimize the pain is to get your walking in. Walk around 30 minutes each day before surgery and then walk while you are in the hospital post-op.
I felt very little pain after the operation. As a matter of fact, I refused any pain medicine after I left the recovery room. My pain level at most was 1 on a scale of 10. But I am an exception. The fact that the surgery was done laparoscopically significantly reduces the pain level after surgery. Walking really alleviates the soreness.
Fear of failure is a common fear. Just follow the program requirements and you should do fine.

Just remember, you wouldn't be given approval by insurance for the surgery if you hadn't already tried "just getting off your behind" several times with very little success. And as far as being terrified of pain, that's why you will be more successful post surgery because you will do whatever needs to dome to avoid it! Have faith. You can do this!

Normal having anxiety. You will be fine. Time to change your life. It changed mine.

6'5" weight 4/8/15 when I started my 2 week prop diet - 502 BMI 59.52
weight 5/18/15 at 3 1/2 weeks out 425# BMI 50.27
4 weeks out today still at 425 (in a stall). My hope is to break 400 by Father's Day. Come on 399! LOL Good luck. Follow the doctor's instructions and everything will go fine.

Started 280 lbs, surgery date 31 March 2015. now 225 lbs
Now lost 55lbs, feeling so much better.

I had sleeve on December 10, 2014. Five months post-op and 91 lbs. down. I went from 317 lbs.
to 226 lbs. My first three months was a living hell, had three surgeries from December 10, 2014
to February 15, 2014. I feel so much better, I am doing things I have not done in years. I walk
everywhere, on the weekends I just walk out of the door and walk until my legs hurt so bad I
have to give up.

Add flavorings. Torani sugar-free syrups. Extracts. For example, few drops of peppermint extract turns chocolate Protein into Mint Choclate Chip... Torani has amazing flavors. SlimFast is CRAP, it is way too high carb for the amount of Protein.< /p>

I've been using this app to make sure I get all my Protein in and to watch my calorie intake. Anyone else using this app to help them along??
