Lurking for 2 years, Gastric Sleeve surgery tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

Well everyone, I have been lurking these boards and gaining information and seeing so many success stories for TWO whole years, and my day has finally arrived!

I will be checking into the hospital at 9:45 am and having sleeve surgery at 11:45am. It is surreal and exciting and emotional all in one.

I'm in Victoria (2 hrs by plane and 7 hrs by car) away from home and alone. Unfortunately my family couldn't be here with me :-(

My hubby and I have 2 small children and I didn't want to uproot them and leave them with just anyone for this length of time (7 days).

My parents are so supportive and wanted to take my kids, but they are so busy with getting custody less than a week ago of my 1 year old nephew that I thought it would be waayyy too much for them! They really wanted to take my kids, but I just felt bad. They are dealing with enough already and I don't want to add to their stress.

So we decided that my man should stay home and be there for the kids. Honestly I thought it would be harder, but it's been good so far. I am BORED out of my mind though without the fam to keep me company. Other than that I'm doing better than I thought.

I have been waiting for so so long for this and I hope everything goes well tomorrow! I'm excited to start this chapter of my life and really start living this life!

I can't wait for this body to be able to experience new things!!!

Sheena :-)

Best of luck to you. I'm sure you're missing your family and they are missing you, but you'll see very soon that it's worth it.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
