Ironpoorer-

I am getting pretty nervous! The hardest part I worry about the most is the changes my husband has to go through. He is not over weight!

I also worry about my wife, she has not been very supportive up till the last minute (maybe she didn't believe I would go thru with it?).

I'm a few days away from getting sleeved (12/28) I'm a little nervous but very excited. I think Christmas is helping take my mind off what would normally give me anxiety. How is everyone (sleeved and waiting) feeling?

I have my weak moments and moments where I am ok. I will be sleeved on 12/28. I am not nervous but I am anxious to get the procedure done so the weight can start coming off

Loks like we're all 3 getting sleeved the same day- the 28th. I was hoping for an early am appointment but don't have to check in until 10:30-11 am....more time without coffee!!! I must admit that after starting the pre-op diet well, losing 25 lbs, I have not been very good this week. I have not re-gained any weight but I doubt I have shrunk my liver much :(

We leave early Sunday am to drive to Dallas and check into the hotel where my wife and son will stay until I am discharged and recuperate enough to drive back home. Good luck all!!!

Hi mommy - I have started my LSD and so far not too bad...even with the Christmas goodies in the house. I'm still waiting for my insurance approval, but as of now. I'm 25 days from being sleeved. I asked Santa for a journal this year so I could record my journey. I hope to keep my measurements, weight and pictures in it as I go through changes. My dh makes a little bit of fun of me because all I've ever wanted was a belly button ring when I make goal weight. For the first time in a long time, this seems achievable. I hope you are doing well. Please let's stay In touch.

I am on day 5 of all liquids to shrink the liver. Today is easily the hardest. I want real food and I don't mean salads! I had lost every morning when I weighed in and this morning gained 2.9 lbs. Makes no sense that I gained. Oh well, right? ?

My husband has been very supportive. He told me today he was afraid he wasn't going to say the right thing in the next couple of weeks. I am being more clear on the verbal support I will need!

Hello Everyone. I am new to this forum. I will get sleeved January 22. Very excited, but nervous. I start my pre-op liquid diet on January 8. I have only told my kids, my mom, and a couple of siblings. I told my kids (age 33,27,24,15) today--the boys didn't say much, one girl positive and one girl negative. My husband is ok with it, but has not said much. Hoping to find encouragement and friends who understand on this site. My insurance does not cover the surgery, so I am self pay. Therefore, I will be traveling to Cancun, Mexico for the procedure. It is about 1/3 of the cost. One of my sisters is a nurse and will travel with me. I look forward to getting to know each of you and hope I can encourage you also.

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
