I advise measuring yourself. Sometimes when the scales don't show, inches will

That is a great reason for the surgery! I will also have surgery on Aug 21. This time next week.. eeek!

I'm going into my 2nd week preop, and been thinking i miss my salads!

It takes some getting used too. I actually ended up getting a different mask. I feel so much better with it tho! I had every symptom of sleep apnea, but all my other doctors have been blowing me off for years and telling me to loose weight.

Also day 4 of pre-op, surgery 21st. Went to a seminar memorial weekend, that is when i started the process. Have lots of diets in my history.

I'm scheduled for Aug 16th, which is Tuesday so I'm almost there!
The liquid diet isn't too bad but still have the urge to crunch something!
Mostly missing salads.

You doing so great.
I believe you figured it out. When you are obese, people don't see you. You are invisible , and when you are not, you try to make yourself invisible. I was at goal before, and it was hard because i didn't know how to handle people paying compliments and or guys paying attention to me. Its so much harder to hide. I wasn't obese all my life, so i can't imagine how difficult this is for you to adjust too. I think you really could use a local support group if possible.
But don't let that fear and attention stop you, you got this. Keep going!

Hey there! I'm new to this forum. I have been a member at another board, but their anti-carb philosophy made me angry and eventually the black sheep. Anyway, I had the sleeve done in February and since then I've lost nearly 75 lbs. I lost 100 pounds before surgery which I'm glad I was able to do. I'm about 45 pounds away from my goal now.
I'm 31 years old, live in Minnesota with my cats and dog. I'm an avid reader and writer which is good since I work in a library. My job requires that I move a lot during the day, so not only has that helped with my loss, my loss has made my job easier.
Since surgery, I've been able to take up running again, I've been on an airplane for the first time in 18 years and I was able to ride a bike without the tires flattening because of my weight. I have had no regrets and I'm so grateful to have my life back.

You doing so great.

'Burning more than you put in' doesn't lead to starvation mode, it leads to weight, and specifically fat, loss. You'll be able to work out when your body's ready.

Thats interesting.... i wonder why that is so....
Well on the positive side , you can always go to the airport for an ultrasound hahaha i guess that would be cheaper lol ????

I remember reading about it and glad you are doing so much better!

Thank you for setting the group up on FB. I would really like to join, but have the same reservations about joining a public group (relative privacy). Is there any chance we could convince you to change the settings to "Secret Group"? People can still join by word of mouth (or seeing a link here), but noseybodies won't be able to see we're in the group, or see the intro page, etc.
If you have your reasons for keeping it public, I understand. I was just hoping to convince you, as I would *love* to join and get the support from everyone else going through an August sleeve surgery.

I don't believe I have any sleep issues. My husband had sleep apnea, but since his surgery he hasn't had any problems!
