This post is completely because I needed to tell someone how anxious I am to start my life anew! I can't wait to have this surgery!!!!

It was really nice on Sunday to see that I had some clothes that are too big....just a month or so ago the pants were so tight I thought I was going to split them with every step I took. But I need to see half...if not all of my wardrobe (as small as it is) to be too big!

I keep getting headaches trying to deal with this pre-op diet. I'm hungry as hell and tired! Some days are better than others but today I just feel like, if my surgeon's office called me today and told me to come in tomorrow for surgery, I would be good with that! I'm just ready to get it done!!!!

I understand your excitement!! I'm very early in the process...still have 3 months to go ????

I'm sure it's very exciting to be where your at and I'm sure time will fly by and your surgery day will be here before you know it!

With the pre op diet, i suffered many headaches. I normally suffer from Migraines. But I emailed my NUT and she said to make sure to drink lots of Water. When your body is in ketosis, it is releasing all the nasty chemicals (like cleansing) into your bloodstream So if you drink lots of water, it will help to flush it out before you get headaches. Also if you get a headache, grab a glass of water and chuck it down....it will help eventually. Got me through it.

No one has access except members and I look forward to meeting new ppl who are on the same journey to getting healthy for themselves. If your interested let me know and I will be happy to add you.

I just got my sleeve 2 wks ago. I had a hard time following the pre op diet too! I did good during the day but gave in to some not so great foods for dinner, but ate small portions. I only lost 7lbs on that diet and my surgeon said my surgery went perfect and my liver was small enough. I weighed 240lbs day of surgery I'm 5'6 1/2".

I completely understand how you feel. You will go through many emotions throughout this process. But at least for me it went by so fast! Of course at the time I didn't think so. You will be sharing post op pics before you know. It is a roller coaster ride for sure! But the reward is so worth it. I wish you the best on your journey.

I'm in for the group also. I will be sleeved on March 27th. My email is arlysm@yahoo.com. I would love to have the support of others on the same life changing path.
