Went shopping today to get some things I think I might need to ease into this new lifestyle. Searching and asking tons of questions to all of my vs friends. Getting good advice.

One VS friend even tried to help alleviate my son's fears. She told him her son felt the same way when she decided to get sleeved, but now he is happy she did it. My son still didn't want me to change. Later that day I told him I was doing this so that I could get my cholestrol under control so I won't have a heart attack and die. He said, "Oh!" Well in that case go ahead.

I am on the pre op diet and doing well except have had to nibble on a piece of chicken a few times. Stomach is rumbling but not really any hunger pains. My colon doesn't know how to react with only liquids. Keep putting benefiber in my Protein but still very little activity in the bathroom department.

I guess that is par for the course. Now I have to figure out what I am going to do with all the extra time with fewer bathroom breaks and eating less. Okay exercise it is!!!

Bought some shape wear today. Got lots of advice to wear it to help with the extra skin. A VS friend said she wore hers constantly on her torso and her plastic surgeon told her she didn't need any surgery on her tummy just her arms. I am guessing she lost well over a 100 lbs so that is amazing.

Gotta go. Time for my next Protein shake.

I wanted to wish you luck on your upcoming surgery!!!! Sounds like you are off to a GREAT start!!!!! Lookin forward to having you join everyone on the loosers bench!!!!!! Keep us all posted on your progress!

Yes I am a mom of triplets. My husband, the triplets and I are in Shreveport today waiting for "V" day tomorrow. They are having a nice meal while I am posting on this site. lol We are staying at my step son's house. He is in the air force stationed here but is deployed right now. Daughter in law and grandkids are making the best of our stay.

Good Luck tomorrow. We will be thinking about you.

What kind of shapewear did you get? I need to start looking into that. I wonder when is the right time to start wearing it.

I have my tummy binder from the hospital and I love it.

Sending prayers your way for a safe and smooth surgery and recovery!
