Thanks all for condolences. We are all in shock, so sudden, so young. Well, tomorrow is sleeve day for me. I have made my Soups (tofu makes a Soup creamy but is protein), bought my drinks, dogs are suspicious as both are wearing collars, cats arent worried so long as they get fed. I am nervous but have all of you as inspiration, so what is my affirmation going in? 'My body is going to love this'. Let you know how I go.

Hi all, i am now 7 hours post op and only lost my dignity, lol. Op a success and as an added bonus repaired an unknown hernia while in the neighborhood! I was really scared pre op and did my meditation breathing and chose to watch the acquarium fish loop rather than tv as following one liilt fish mesmerised me. Full cocktail of drugs in me so only discomfort. Been up once to little girls room. Drew on your support and got teary when parked prior to theatre. Surgeon came in limping and holding his back but very bright and confident. Seems he has done a good job and hospital is good. Might have a nap now. Affirmation, being wheeled into theatre, What makes you think God woulnt set aside a little time to look after you? You are importantto Him too. Thanks for the TLC.

I am so glad you made it to the other side (with or without your dignity).

Yes, you are important to Him and to us, too!

To select an affirmation I look for the most glaring defect in myself and think of how I would like to become.

Since I have a history of incest, one of my favorites is:

"I am safe."

As for my process, I get an empty note book and write the affirmation down and anything else that pops up.

If I have negative self talk, I cross out the negatives and continue to write my affirmation.

I do this until I can write a full page with no negatives.

Then it becomes 'mine' and I say the affirmation to myself out loud while I am walking.

Some of my favorite affirmations are:

I am a beautiful and loving woman.

I am capable and dependable.

I walk in balance and harmony.

People really like to be around me.

I am a healer and a peacemaker.

Today is fabulous.

I always had a lot of regrets about my past, and I carried a heavy load figuratively and literally. I think for many years I felt like I was a walking mistake. My favorite affirmation is: God doesn't make mistakes.

      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
