Hello October sleevers.

Im Christina. 35, Mother of a 16 yr old son. I live in Sacramento, Ca and am scheduled for surgery October 10th by Dr. Richard Nyugen in San Jose, Ca. Am i scared? HELL YES!!!! Hoping this site will encourage and motivate me as much as possible. I am 250 pounds and my health is not what it was, so my dr recommended this surgery. I wanted the lap band at first but he promised me that there were less complications with gastic sleeve. I read some of the posts on here of some complications amd now im more scared then before. I was unaware of such issues. I felt so bad for them. Praying that it doesnt happen to me. So im on here looking for support. =)

Hello fellow Oct sleevers I am so ready to start this new chapter in my life, but I must admit I'm so nervous for this pre op diet starting Monday I really hope I am able to do this I really don't want to mess it up.

Mslnzee. Thats how i feel. I am on my liquid diet now and my bf and son are eating dinner and im like omg. I want what they are having! But then i stop myself and make my protein shake. Disipline is going to be the greatest hurdle but it must be done for a successful outcome. I say this yet i am daydreaming of spaghetti. LOL. Just stay focused.

Yup. Every night I make these great meals for my family and I can't have it. Phooey! On the plus side I am down 10 lbs this week alone from it. My date is Oct 22 and I am so excited I even put a countdown app on my phone!

Lol. It sucks huh?!!! I told my bf that i wasnt cooking anymore!!!! Lol. Tho i still do, i gotta fight myself not to eat it. Its only day 4 of my liquid diet and tho the temptation is killing me. I know i cant mess up.

I know you are right Italiangirl I must make sure I have will power b/c in the end I will win.

I also have the countdown on my phone my date is Oct 17 listening to you about losing weight already will make drinking the protein shakes bearable.

Well, I just had my consultation with my surgeon today and got my date.... Monday, October 1st!!! I lucked out and they had a cancellation so I took it!!!

Love seeing all the new ppl, daily, hourly. I see change a comin' To life!

That happen to me. My dr office told me they had a cancellation and i was to have surgery on sept the 26th but then called back a day later saying that it was too soon and that i had to be on the liquid diet for 2 weeks. The 26th would have only been one week. I wished that they wouldve just gave me the cancelled date. It would have been over by now. Uggghhh. But Oct 10 will be here before i know it. Good luck to you.....
