SleevedSoulSistah reacted to chabelchavez in Exercise
I’m wondering when did everyone start exercising. I’m one week till surgery, but wondering when did everyone start exercising besides walking. I was told not to do weights because it will cause a stall

Me too! I’m having surgery on the 28th. Geeez! And this liquid diet is a lot harder than I expected. I hate talking to myself- lol! I’m so looking forward to a new way of life! I’m petrified of failing but at the same time I think this is going to be what I needed.

SleevedSoulSistah got a reaction from FluffyChix in Any February Sleevers?
I’m on day 5 of my preop diet I’m not hungry I’ve hydrated my tummy into submission I’m just bored or rather saddened by the fact that I can’t snack. So I’m tryna stay busy and focus on that I’m only 10 days out from joining the losers bench.

My bypass is also Feb. 27th. I've been thinking about doing this for so many years and now I'm just ready to get this done!! I have to do a liquid diet on Monday. I was talking to a friend about her bypass that she had 15 years ago. Boy!! Have things changed! She knew nothing about the amounts of Vitamins and minerals she needs to maintain her health!

Hello All,
My surgery date [02/20/2018] is approximately 28 hours away and I'm as terrified as I am excited, and then some more. This will be my first surgery of any sort and can't believe I started my "Lifestyle Change Journey" back in October of 2017 and now the day is almost here.
Could use some prayers and words of encouragement right now to help with the anxiety. There's no turning back and I will be spending my day drinking Clear Liquids and doing anything to keep my mind off of it until it's time.
Thanks for reading and looking forward to joining the loser's bench and start living a Happy LIFE!

One of my favorite go to chart. Hope this helps, but remember this is only an average. Everyone's different

SleevedSoulSistah reacted to Sleeve1stFitNext in Where are these trolls coming from?
I am a tad confused by this entire thread.
This is a forum and negative vibes will come your way. However, letting the negative vibes get to you only hurts you. I understand that people come at you the wrong way or give their two sense when you do not want it but if you post, everyone can see it and has a right to respond. Surgery or not. Remember that if you keep above the negativity, you are the bigger person.
Also, your thread came up while I was helping another member. I thought the subject sounded interesting so I read the whole things. The perks of loving to read.

SleevedSoulSistah reacted to Happy Go Lucky in Day 6 post op mood
So tomorrow will be one week already since I was sleeved and I am ok. I am not mad or regretful. I just feel weird and anxious to see my weight drop.
I can say that I have not had any nausea since day one and no unbearable pain.
It's a weird feeling to feel everything going down and into your stomach.
My sleep situation is getting better because it was hard to get comfy at night.
I did chew some chipotle and spit it out cause I was scared to swallow it but I just wanted to satisfy the craving....the craving....I still have some cravings but it's for the sake of chewing and not actually eating the food if that makes sense. I will be talking to my doctor to let him know about this at my follow up.
My main focus is on hydration and walking at least 15 minutes 2x's per day and increasing it as I can handle it.
I also am trying to practice slowing down when I eat or drink. Easier said than done.
It's hard coming from such a high weight and bad habits to just turn it off.
Mind over matter folks.
