Hey everyone!

I just started this account a few minutes ago. I will have my gastric sleeve surgery tomorrow at 7 am

I'm so nervous and excited at the same time. Any advice?

advice? hmmmm keep a pillow in the car for the ride home...and try to stay positive...the first few days after surgery...are not a piece of cake but better days will come and you'll be so glad with your decision:-) Best wishes!

I'm so happy for you. I say just take it one day at a time. Stay accountable and remember WHY you did this. Write down all the things you want to do AND all of your worst "FAT MOMENTS" (one of mine was not fitting on a roller coaster) and look at it when it's though. Remember the head hunger WILL go away and don't give in. This is probably the most controversial statement I will make but get back to life ASAP!! I realize that one of the factors to my success was that I went right back to work. (Surgery Thursday back on Monday) I'm not saying that's best for you but idle hands..... Now, go rock your sleeve and keep me updated!!!! Xoxo

Advice... take the time you need to recover. Get up and moving like the doctors will tell you. It feels like the last thing you want to do, but it does help. Don't be a hero, no shame in taking the pain or anti-nausea meds if you need them. The need for them will pass in a day or two anyhow. Most of all, just stay positive and remember why you decided to do this. After a couple days you will be feeling good, and a couple months in you'll feel great and wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

Good luck tomorrow. I am also having surgery also tomorrow. I report to the hospital at 6am.

praying for you my is tomorrow! Feb 18

thank you so much everyone for the lovely messages!

I'm back home today and I have lots of pain but I know it will pass.

I'm 15 years old for those of you who might be wondering so it was a really tough decision but I'm glad I made it, I know I will see the results and feel really good with them.

Praying for all of you!

Thanks,

Rachel
