Don't chew gum. All it does is stimulate your digestive juices and make you hungry.
Have you tried a high quality deli ham like Boars Head? You should be able to eat that easily. Potatoes are some thing I don't touch, they offer no nutrtion, just carbs. Does your mom make green Beans with Easter dinner? You didn't mention any green veggies on the menu. We always have green veggies at holiday meals in my family, and as a kid eating them wasn't optional.
Not one person in this thread suggested eating a vegetable. Ugh.

Follow up.. I put my big girl panties on (though a size smaller.haha) and ate today and feel great..no nerves!! Both Breakfast and lunch were finished.. I am getting used to the no drinking for awhile after. And am getting used to the "musical music" my tummy is making for the last hour. I wanted to post a follow up so any newbie reading in the future that felt the same way knows it resolves itself. And dang - real food tastes so so good!!! Thanks for all the supportive answers!!

Hi Ladies,
I'm getting sleeved tomorrow morning too! Nerves are starting to come out. I'm just worried about drinking Water day 2. I'm gonna walk walk walk to get rid of the gas. For me, it's all the what ifs afterwards that's making me nervous as well. One day at a time.....that's what I keep saying to myself....
Hope all goes well for you all tomorrow! Cheers!

My advice to you is to look within your self for the answer. You've went through all the testing, gotten to the point for approval, and now a few short weeks until you begin your new journey. How many times in the past have you already tried "something different" and failed. I too had push back. Someone last week asked me, why don't I just eat less & workout more? Seems simple enough, though that "plan" hasn't worked long term for me in the past. With the question "What if something goes wrong?", did you reply...."what if everything goes right?" People who are unfamiliar with something, can come across as pessimistic and look for every reason why something can go wrong. My advice is to ignore the negative feedback, and look for the positives. My surgery is in 4 days, and I couldn't be more excited!!! It's been a journey to get here, and nothing will stop me now. Best of lick to you, you can do this!

My surgery is the 14th also. I'm excited and also a tiny bit nervous. I've been so looking forward to this and now that it's almost here the gravity of what's about to happen has hit. But I have no doubts and am looking forward to Monday. Good luck to everyone!

I think some of the push back stems from uncharted territory. It's ok, we will prevail. Best of luck to all of you in your upcoming surgeries.

Good luck to you as well. See you on the flip side in a few day.

You'll do great!!!

My surgery is also 3/14 and I definitely got my nerves all jumbled up. I totally get the push back from family. I have a sister in law that claims to know everything about anything and I do not want her knowing about it until I have lost a good amout of weight. I just told my mother the other day and swore her to secrecy.

My surgery is scheduled for Monday (3/14), and I'm super excited. I'm not nervous (yet), but am really looking forward to starting the rest of my life as a normal weight person. I've always been the bigger if not biggest friend of the group, I've always been the one to stay in the shadows and not want the spotlight, but I'm ready for that to change and just be normal and blend in. I have a little over a hundred pounds to lose. I've had some push back from a few close friends and family members I've told. Looking back now, perhaps I should have kept it to myself. My view is, in the months ahead they will come around and see that this was a "good -safe- choice for me". I don't need others acceptance, but was more looking for them to be on the same team...rooting me on, supporting my decision. I've read thru some of the posts on here where others have had the same thing happen, and it's actually helped me set in stone that I am making the right choice. This is about me,and what will finally help me get the body & life I want. I'm prepared for this and I can't wait!!!
