I plan to tell my coworkers I fell and hurt my shoulder.. that way they will not ask why I need help lifting anything that is too heavy for awhile.

Yay for all of us! I’m scheduled for February 4th to have the sleeve done and will be having it done in Puerto Vallarta .. I’m excited as well but am terrified all at once! I have a very supportive husband who has seen my weight fluctuate so much in the past 6 years and has never made me feel unattractive or undesirable. With that said, I want to do this for him as much as it is for myself. I want to feel attractive so I can make him happier! I also have really bad family genes.. my mom died 10 years ago at 60 of heart disease and I don’t want to suffer the same horrible fate she did so I decided to take control and do all I can to live a long and healthy life. Cheers to everyone who has decided to take control as well! We all should be so happy that this option is available:)

Well, I had my sleeve 2 weeks ago tomorrow. I must say, no regrets! Im alive, and no acid reflux. The most painful part was my stomach contracting for a couple of the days after the surgery. I think it was my stomach growling which was painful due to the surgery I imagine. It seemed to improve a bit once I had the leak test.. the Fluid they have you drink probably helped my empty tiny little banana stomach lol.

Thanks!!! I got goosebumps reading all your responses.. I’m having the sleeve done in 7 days. I really needed these comments!

Oh, I forgot to say.. you are more than welcome to email me and we exchange ideas and progress:)

I just had mine on feb 4th as well. I am having a hard time eating and I feel so weak and tired. It’s nice being on the all liquid portion because I am liking strained cream of mushroom Soup. I am waiting for day 7 to have sugar free pudding cause it feels like it will be too thick for my tiny stomach. I feel so thirsty and all I want to do is pound back an entire bottle of Water. I was so thirsty yesterday that I paid 8 dollars for a bottle of water .. insane, right? I also find drinking water makes me burp where cream of mushroom soup seems easier to get down. I think it’s because I keep trying to drink more than my stomach will allow. Oddly, I’m sipping so it’s not like I’m guzzling. I can’t wait until puréed stage! I haven’t weighed myself since August so I don’t know how I’m doing in that regard. I had my surgeon write it down and seal it in an envelope so I can open March 1st. Maybe do that? It might help :). We can do this .. we really don’t have a choice which is awesome! I can’t wait to be skinny!!!! Advice .. or ideas more suiting as I’m in the exact same spot as you .. I might try warming my Protein Shake to make it a hot chocolate . I have no idea if it will work :). I’m so glad the surgery is done and now it’s all uphill :)

I know what you mean about head hunger! That’s the worst! I’m 5 days post op and am counting the days to purée .. I would give my left kidney for a mozza stick! I won’t because it will hurt too much.

Weird? Hmm.. I’m looking forward to a lot of things ... Weirdly enough, I want to jump in my husbands arms and be able to wrap my legs around his waist .. sounds silly but when he picks me up, my legs just dangle. That’s not sexy!

Has anyone on here regretted their decision to have the sleeve?

Thanks!!! I got goosebumps reading all your responses.. I’m having the sleeve done in 7 days. I really needed these comments!

Here's my list:
1. Buying clothes I actually like and develop my own style instead of just buying what fits.
2. Stop asking for a seat belt extender on a plane.
3. Go on rides to amusement parks again.
4. Go skydiving, play sports, and even go walking without running out of breathe.
5. Stop having to push the table at a booth forward for more room.
6. sleep without a CPAP machine.
7. Comfortably fit into the desks at school.
8. Lose my fear of sitting on plastic and metal foldable chairs.
9. Have more shoes! Its almost impossible for me to find sneakers or any other type of shoe.
10. Not sure if this one will ever change but I want my bf's family to stop judging me based off my looks. I hope they finally see that I'm good enough for him This also applies to my coworkers and future job interviews.
11. Feel confident walking into a room full of people.
12. Get married! My bf wants to get married and has tried to casually ask me about my expectations on my dream proposal. We've been together for a while now but I told him I cant picture myself getting proposed to or even having a wedding while I'm huge. I want to be able to
fit into an engagement ring.
13. Like taking pictures. I hate it now and avoid photos constantly
14. Stop avoiding mirrors.
15. Idk if anyone can relate to this one but I want to be that friend that other friends call to go out for a night drinking with. The kind of night where you get dressed up and just have a good time as girls. I have a nice group of friends but I don't get invited much to those kinds of nights because of my weight. I don't blame them. I feel so unfeminine and the feeling is written all over me. I want to be able to go shopping with friends and do girly things with them without having to feel like the fat friend that no one asks advice from on whether something looks cute or not.
16. TO LIVE A LONG AND HEALTHY LIFE!

Woohoo! Way to go! I can’t wait until I can post the same!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing!

Yes .. this is a great list and thanks for sharing!. My surgery is scheduled for feb 4th so I still have lots of time but thank goodness for you for reminding me that planning is key! I bought a hand mixer and a smart water bottle that reminds me to take a sip. I’ve got my Protein Powder and Vitamins. I’m thinking I should make a bunch of baby food type foods and freeze them in ice cube trays.

Wow! Way to go! You look amazing! I’m 6 weeks pre op so I can’t share my progress with you but your transformation has made me feel excited about what is to come for me :). Thanks!!!!!

Woohoo! Way to go! I can’t wait until I can post the same!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing!
