Hi, I'm having the sleeve 10/14.

Hi, I'm having the sleeve 10/14. I just created a Facebook group for October sleevers support. It's secret so nobody can search it or see the posts. If you'd like to be added, message me your email.

Ok. I just created a Secret Facebook group for us to support one another. Message me your email and I'll send you an invite. Nobody can see us or read our posts. Just for us October sleevers.

I'm officially CRANKY now...... ????

How is everyone doing on day 2 preop diet??? I'm surviving.

The late afternoon is difficult.

I confess on my first day of preop diet.... I looked at the leftover green Beans in the garbage TWICE!

I have to fork over payment to my surgeon tomorrow, it's making it feel really REAL and final!! I'm scared!

????????????????

I'm hanging in there on day 1 of shakes. I can have a small salad. Ate a few mini carrots and two slices of cucumber to harness my hunger today.

Hint.... Drink shake and don't drink Water for at least an hour.... Helped me feel fuller

I have had a few "last meals" and afterwards I always think, "yeah, that was good, but I could deal with not having it again."

I get bummed when I think about the things I'll have to live without, but then I resign myself to the fact that if I could eat/drink those things in moderation I wouldn't be where I'm at now and I'm better off with a tool that will help me avoid them. So, now I'm focusing all my energy on the exciting parts--losing weight, becoming healthy again, etc. and preparing for surgery.

Yes, well said. I agree.

Yes, the permanentcy is scary.

I feel I must confess.... I have my "last supper" planned for tonight!

My instructions say 2 weeks so I'm starting Wednesday.... So I would say start the same day.

I start Wednesday

Unfortunately Cymbalta is an SNRI, not SSRI.

I'm having VSG and would like to know if anyone was on Cymbalta and how did you take this medicine post op? The capsule cannot be opened because it's time released.

I'm constantly reading my support pages !

Anyone else feel like this surgery preoccupies their life right now? I need to do activities to take my mind off of it!

Here's a group we can join.....

Me too... We should start a secret Facebook page for us to keep in touch. Anyone know how to do that?

I'm scheduled for Oct 14th and live in the Chicago area..... You live nearby? I'm looking for support persons too.
