I had 2 week pre op diet and I lost 10 Ibs

I really just want to eat something Not a lot just something

I was also sleeved feb 23rd 2016! I have been wanting ritz crackers and black olives! Weird right?

I'm choosing sleeve bc I'm not a fan of the idea of moving around my insides! The sleeve is straight forward.....they cut part of your stomache out!

I understand where you're coming from! I am getting the sleeve on February 23rd and I'm very excited! But I also feel shame or a little disappointment in myself for having to go this route! But, I've seen it work for others! So I'm taking that leap of faith so that I will be healthier! Im praying that all goes well and that i can finally feel confident about myself and my body and not be so ashamed to wear certain clothes!!!

My doctor reccomended flinstones complete chewables! 2 a day!

All of your NSV's are so encouraging! Thank you for sharing! My surgery is February 23rd and i am nervous and excited! Reading all these positive outcomes ya'll are having is awesome and inspiring!

Im Feb 23rd! Very nervous! But excited to finally start down a healthy path for the future!

I absolutely believe you have to do what is best for you! A therapist should not discourage a healthy lifestyle choice! I went tk a counselor once who was always making me question myself because of her personal opinions or life experiences! Guess what? I changed counselors! I was so happy I did too! Because my new counselor was great and encouraging!

How is life after the sleeve so far?

How r things going?

I worry some about it, but having a healthy heart and no diabetes is better ????

Im curious about how long to stay out of work for too? I waitress! So theres a lot of lifting and carrying things and hurrying!

I have an appointment on the 30th for my regular Doctor.....it takes forever to get in! And I want to ask for a referral to go see a bariatric Doc! I'm nervous they'll tell me no. But I'm at a 45 BMI and I'm 145lbs overweight! ???? i feel so low about myself! But I also feel like people will judge me for having the surgery!

May I ask how you decided which surgery?
