    Melinaz got a reaction from Judith Ann in December 2019 Sleeves   
    Hi hi.. mine is on December 1.. I'm pretty nervous about it and got pre-OP anxiety .. I'm very afraid of general anaesthesia ..eventhough deep down I know it's nothing.. like everyone has been telling me It's like dreaming.. and I am afraid of pain and complications too .. like gallbladder stones.. I mean I'm only 24.. well ,soon to be 25 lolol (my bd is on december too?) just thinking about removing my GB at such young age scares me a lot...but overall I think it's worth it ; to have a healthy body and dress pretty too, not just some oversized sh..t? plus no more of those people judging you when you pass?

    If you think about the results it's worth it... that's what I'm telling my self too?♥
    hope it goes well for all of us?

    December 9th and I'd love to stay in touch. Today I got my nutrition book and checklist. I am super uber excited.
    I also got some pretty nice Gastric Sleeve cookbooks on Kindle for like $2.99
    Let's do this!
    I also created a blog. I was banded in 2009 and unbanded in 2012 so it's going to be interesting to compare the two.

    Nothing can change who u are.. it attitude is based on what u receive from others.
    I'm about to have my surgery too but I haven't told anyone excep from my family (only my mom and dad- not even my bro)
    Because other's dont have the right to meddle, it is YOUR decision to make and no one have the right to judge you because they don't know our struggles in society... we know how good can a food tastes like, we know what they don't know.. but we also found out how to cherish our body and mind more.. our body before was screaming for help and now we're gonna help it. So don't let them scare you off . You're doing this for YOU! Not them.. cuz they dunno anything.. and if getting a healthy body and mind and losing some lbs changes you, I'm sure it's toward getting even more awesome! No worries my friend! Getting moody might happen in first few weeks but u must keep looking at it goal, good luck~♥♥♥

    Melinaz reacted to AJ Tylo in When will I be able to work a normal schedule?   
    This is still knocking the hell out of me - I was weak and drained for 60 days, However after i Screwed up post op i got my stuff togethor on the vitamins and minerals and balanced out. You may have your supplements messed up and it is not the surgery it is the lack of nutrients. I just did a post yesterday on this exact subject read it. I was focused on losing weight and did not realize i was nutrient deficient. Once i got that balanced work was a ton easier

    Hey there. I had my surgery last week (October 8th) coming out of surgery there was a small bit of pain but my health care team really stayed on it along with any nausea that I had. This particular hospital had its patients on full fluids the next day. I spent two nights in for safety sake. I was sent home with pain medication that I did not need. My energy has been great, no pain at all being home. I am able to get 50-60 gm of protein and am up to my 1.5L a day for water. I take rests if need but so far activity wise I am able to go on 4-5000 step walks once a day on top of regular puttering around the house. I’m already driving and have lost 25lbs between pre op diet and being home. I have no co morbidities (perfect bloodwork, no diabetes, heart issues, blood pressure issues) I am a very healthy, soon not be over weight person. Remember to celebrate your small victories, because the many small ones lead to big ones. You have already done the hard part and that’s admitting that you like I needed help to loss weight. Keep your chin up and this wonderful gift gives you what you give it. I won’t wish you luck because it’s not luck it’s work. Work hard, stay positive and before you know it you’ll be strutting down the street like the world is your runway! Cheers.
