Any April/May 2016 sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Well I just received the call that my surgery is scheduled May 3rd. This has been such a long, back and forth road for me. I am excited, but starting to have my doubts. Just typing about it is making me quiver. My anxiety is reaching an all time high. I can't believe I feel so weak. Kind of disappointed with myself. Sorry for being all over the place with this post. I don't have anyone else to talk to about this but my husband. And while he's supportive, I'm sure he is irritated with this WLS topic. Well thanks for letting me vent and I dont expect anyone to care or even respond. Just figured getting it out of my system would help.

Hello all,

I am scheduled for surgery 5/3/16 and was hoping to find some other people scheduled in April or May to keep in touch with for mutual support.

Hi, I am having my surgery on 5/24/16. Really getting excited about it. I have been going through a three month pre-op program that is a requirement of my insurance company and it has really helped get me ready. I have met with a nutritionist three times and my doctor four times and still have two to go before surgery. It has really helped me to feel I am ready for the surgery. I still have some nerves about the surgery. I love reading all of the post on the forum. It helps me feel like I can do this.

Thats my date tooo! yeahhhh

It's natural to have doubts and cold feet! Think about all of the success stories shared on this site and stay strong! Everything will go great!

I have 5 months more to wait.

Yes ma'am it is. It's kinda embarrassing since I'm a Army veteran. Never had weight problems until the 3 very tough pregnancies. Could not lose the weight. Either way, it's been a long road and I guess I better get ready. Lol keep me posted on ur surgery and recovery. I wish u the very best. Thanks for responding. It means the world to me!! :)

My surgery is April 26th. My grandson's birthday. I started the liquid diet on the 12th. It is ok. Some of those flavors are really sweet. I am not a big sweet fan.

Almost there... 4 more days. This diet has become so much easier this week. I barely think about food now. At nights is where I struggle the most. I just miss chewing food.

Not weigh myself until surgery day on Monday. Last Tuesday I was 93.4 kg at the preop. 205.4 lbs.

started preop at 210

      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! 😞
