October 2014

Anyone else scheduled in October? Let's stay in touch during this process!

I have to take one more informational class. Have an EGD done and do a 2 week liquid only diet.

During the the diet I have to drink the doctor's Protein drinks. Hope they are good!

    Random question - do any of you have an irrational fear of "What if the Gastric Sleeve doesn't work on me like everyone else?" I am 1 week post-op (woot-woot) and can't shake the feeling! I haven't weighed myself but can already see in my face that I have lost some weight yet I still have this voice in my head asking "what if I only lose 30lbs and it stops..." This is crazy right?

    This is my biggest fear! What if I did all this work and I don't lose all the weight? I'm scared of disappointing my husband and letting everyone else down.

    This should be for you not anyone else. As long as you follow what the doctor says and do what you are supposed to NOBODY should be let down including yourself. Worry about you!!! You've got this! Its a long journey ....best wishes
