    bl1988 got a reaction from sleevedshereen in JULY SLEEVERS- How are you doing?   
    The best thing i have ever done! I’m seeing numbers on the scale I haven’t seen since middle school! The best part about this is I have three very active boys and now I am playing with them! Going down the slide, going to the skate park and scootering with them! I feel like a kid and it’s amazing the endorphins it releases when your high up in the air on the swing I have had absolutely no complications and am feeling amazing!!
    HW 311 SW 264 CW 214! Surgery date 7/19/17

    bl1988 got a reaction from Precious517 in Most absurd thing people said to you when you told them you were having WLS?   
    Sometimes and( I know people do have bad experiences with telling people about surgery ) you will be very surprised I told my close friends and family and some co workers I was having it done so the day of my mom and fiancé were receiving a ton of texts checking in on the actual surgery, my mom asked before I went in the day of if she could just write it on Facebook so she didn't have to respond individually to 1000 text twenty different times to update people and I told her no... but then got to thinking that I don't care what others think, I've worked really hard to even have this surgery, I'm making a huge life change and I'm proud of myself, so that night after having surgery from the hospital bed I made a huge Facebook post about here goes the first day of the rest of my new life and I was SHOCKED by the amount of support I received!!!! Over 100 comment and almost 200 likes of all support!!! I think you will feel so much happier to just be honest and open, when you hide it it subconsciously always makes you feel like your doing something wrong and by no means is this the easy way out of weight loss! I've had so many people say I don't know how you do it it just seems so difficult... but again I'm proud of how far I've come and I'm not even one week post op and have the love and support from my close community!!! And it feels GREAT... ignore the people who have negativity chances are they have never been in your shoes, also if there negative towards you they probably have something dragging them down in their lives and want to induce negativity around them to make them selves feel better! Respond to them with didn't your mother ever tell you if you have nothing nice to say then don't say anything at all!!!

    Maybe you would fee better if you just stuck to a liquid diet for the first two weeks and ease into things i know different surgeons have different diets to follow but I had surgery the same day as you and I am feeling great I have to mentally stop myself from doing things I know I shouldn't be right now that's the part I'm struggling with like i hate sitting around the house and not being able to just deep clean everything haha... but I am just barley starting my full liquid diet tomorrow I have been on Clear Liquids Since surgery, which I do have a small lack of energy but taking small breaks more often helps with that! I don't start eating puréed food until aug 2!

    People don't realize what they say. Often their hearts are in the right place but they completely screw up on the delivery.

    My brother encouraged me to go for walks every day. My ex told me he was scared for me. My mother told me when she saw I was losing weight from the Meal Replacement diet pre surgery that "see you don't need the surgery, just keep doing what you're doing now..." and then day of surgery, was told "it's not too late to change your mind!"
    i believe these statements are fear driven.
    Like I said- heart in the right place.

    THANK YOU! Its good to know that there is a lot of love out there for what we are doing, once we get passed the few negative ones that don't understand, don't agree or can't get passed their own issues to be supportive! I am getting sleeved Friday. I hope to be as happy and secure as you soon!!!! Good luck
