Another day closer

There is a cool iPad app called tminus that counts down the days. It is pretty cool and a reminder that I have to start cleaning up my diet soon. For some reason I've been binging a little like my mind knows the end is near. I've had a " last milkske". " last fried chicken". " last chocolate shake". The mind can be a terrible thing.

Put in tminus and t minus and no results?

Think finally the food funeral of mid summer is over. Felt horrible half of the time. Was an eye opener. Ready to embrace what is good and feels good before and after with food.

Hi all! So many October sleevers! I just turned 50 and my date is Oct. 2nd! Single with no kids but ready to make real changes to have the active life I want. Started at 299 and now down 17lbs. Just taking it one pound at a time. I don't get my pre-op diet until Sept 17th. So just chew, chew, chewing and chewing some more! The hardest thing for me is not drinking Water with my food. But, as it has already been posted here, one change at a time. I'm in it for the long haul! Congrats to all ~ Shelia

Me too!!! Great the more the better

The countdown is making it really real! I'm starting to worry about this whole "new life" thing. I kinda like my life-I just want to be able to enjoy it more! I had 3 friends who had RNY and they all had to drastically change their lives in order to stay on track-all 3 changed jobs, 2 moved out of state, and one even got divorced. I hope I won't have those kind of "side effects" with VSG. Anybody else worried?

Hey I think I recognize you from the support fb page. When did you have your surgery? I'm super excited. Scared about the aftermath though. Do you get good pain meds and naseau meds in the hospital? I'm self pay so I'm nervous they will treat me different and just give me the basics since United Healthcare isn't footing any of the bill. That's probably stupid to think but it has crossed my mind. When did you go back to work? I'm hoping I can return the following Monday......

I was self pay as well- I was treated like royalty! I didn't have any nausea so I didn't get nausea meds... I was prescribed liquid loritab to use at home and never needed it. I've used it once since surgery and that was for menstral camps. I was very very bloated after surgery - that made it hard for me to sleep comfortably. Once I started walking- it was like magic- the air just started exiting! I felt so much better!

Hi! I'm an October Sleever. My surgery date is October 29th. I'm 43 yrs old, 44 on October 8th. I am 5'10 352lbs. I am both excited about my new journey and nervous. However, I've never been so sure of my decision to have this surgery. This surgery will be the best birthday gift of my life. I am so happy to have found this forum -- it's wonderful. By the way, I can't wait to take a picture of myself and not crop out my body! :-)

I think its like 3 of us now for that date!! love it and good luck
