I sat here and watched my bff eat pizza, which is my favorite food. While it smelled delicious, I definitely had no desire to eat it. I ate my 4oz of tomato soup and I was happy. We went to tcby for frozen yogurt and I got a kiddie size portion, which is a whole 3 oz. I ate mauve a quarter odd it, and she was amazed. She was like are you full? And it's hard to explain. I haven't gotten"full" yet, I just get to a point where another bite just didn't sound good. She was shocked. She's thinking of having this surgery, so I think it was an eye Leber for her.

Although now I really can't wait to be all healed an nom on a piece of pizza. Haha.

But yeah. My roommate, dad, and bff have all made delicious smelling foods in front of me, but I've had no real desire to eat them. Which is weird and awesome all at the same time.

Well folks....tomorrow I get Glucked!! Yep, Dr. Gluck will be sleeving me, after 8 months of jumping through insurance hoops, it is finally happening...How am I feeing???........i am excited about getting healthy and feeling better, anxious about whether I can live happily, sleeved. Anxious cause I am not sure how I will respond physically and mentally to this new attitude about food.....mostly fearful of failing and never getting healthy and feeling better......feeling alittle guilty cause I never told anyone I was doing this ( except spouse).....well......that is just about it for now......I think it will be one hell of a ride.......gotta be better than the one I have been on for 20 years.......

Good luck! I love Dr. Gluck! And I loved every nurse I had while I was at Mercy. The nice thing is most of the nurses have had some bariatric surgery, so they know what you're going through. I also thought it was awesome that Dr. Gluck took time out of his Saturday night to call me and see how I was doing. You got this! I was scared too, but it's been incredible. and I'll tell ya, once I went home, I've felt better and better almost every hour.

I'll keep you in my thoughts! You got this. Must keep your mind on those "I want to....."

Hi, Outrageous Eyes! Good Luck getting Glucked, Dignity!!

Thanks Miznola :-) may I ask what Glucked means? I'm new to this lingo lol :-)

I'm in the doctor's office now for my pre-op appointment!!! Surgery first thing in the morning! Just a little nervous, mostly because the only medical procedure requiring anesthesia that I've ever had was the pre-op EGD! I've met my pre-op goal weight and I'm ready to go!

My surgery is on Friday and I have a cold. I wonder if they are going to reschedule it because of that. Hopefully I can get rid of this before Friday morning. I have had it since this past Friday. Any suggestions to help me get rid of this dumb thing?

Our surgeons name is Dr. Gluck. :)

Fluids rest and vitamin c

Yup. My doc said rest, and emergen-c. And plenty of fluids.

Yay, I get to try puréed foods tomorrow, have been on clear liquids for 1 solid week

Jealous! I have 2 more weeks on full liquids. I'm bored of everything. I just want slme.kashed potatoes. And cottage cheese, which I used to think was gross but can't wait tot try. And chili. Holy crap I want chili. Hah.

Technology and lortab don't mix. Hah.

Lol, I have been jealous of y'all since y'all could be on full liquids, I couldn't even do that, only clear liquid... Broth, isopure water and sf jello.

I'm jealous of all the pain meds you all are on!!! Forget about diarrhea out your asses. I'm loving the diarrhea of the mouth you all get when you're stoned on meds.

I think I'm still a bit away from the losers bench. Just got my pulm function and chest X-ray left. Appointment is March 12th. Hopefully all is well and I'll get a date. I'm hoping you all get better soon. Best of the BMs and liquids to all you sleevers. Can't wait to join you!
