Good Morning everyone!

February 17th is finally finally almost here! Tomorrow's my day to become a Sleeve Sister! All of you have helped me figure out this journey and decided on the Sleeve. How lucky I am to have found VST. I knew I didn't want RNY and thought I wanted the Band until I came here and started reading. I feel so fortunate. So to each of you, thank you for helping me along the way.

I'm so excited. I'm visualizing the best possible outcome for my surgery and immediate recovery period. I'm visualizing no gas, no nausea, no incision pain. I figure I might as well start from the most positive aspect to create a positive experience.

My mantra leading up to surgery is "everything always works out for me, everything always works out for me, everything always works out for me!"

Maybe I'll get it together and write "my story" this afternoon.

Again, thanks friends!!

I just absolutely love you to pieces, and am so elated that your date is almost here. The title of this thread makes me giggle because we counted down the "sleeps" until John returned from deployment. That made it easier to get through.

You know you'll be in my thoughts and prayers tonight and tomorrow. Positive energy vibes coming your way.

Awww Tiffy! Love you too! You're the absolute best. I've followed your journey as I decided which surgery would be best for me. You have inspired me daily in your finding health and joy. JimsBrat is going to post over at OH in the Lightweights Forum when I get out of surgery. At least she will if my friend remembers to call her! :)

Whenever my son and I go on vacation to some far off part of the world, we always count the sleeps until we see each other again. He's coming home from NY Friday night. He's flying out as soon as classes are over on Friday and staying till Tuesday morning. I'm so excited to hear his new adventures. He's the best nurturer and will take great care of me and make it a fun weekend.

Love those positive vibes! Keep em coming please.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
