Hi guys my surgery is on Thursday may 19th. A day out. However my birthday is on the 23, sort of a 20th birthday present. I'm ready to get my body in shape the way it should and try to control my PCOS. I'm getting really nervous,

Any support, tips or tricks for the sleeve would be much appreciated and returned ❤️

You will do great.

The thing I think that helped me the most was to make a commitment to do everything my team asked me to do, even if I was afraid or thought I couldn't do it.

After surgery, the sooner you can get up and walk the better.

Sip, sip, sip: getting in all of your Protein and fluids is critical for healing and weight loss.

I also decided to only weigh at doctors appointments early out. Staying off the scale can save your sanity.

Best of luck and keep us posted on how you are doing.

And, Happy Birthday!

Mine is May 20th, so I'm right behind you. I too have PCOS, which was the main deciding factor for getting this surgery.

Yes, I have 1 child, but had to do through fertility clinic for that. Praying that the weight will fix the problem for the future.

Sore. My stomach just feels empty. Every time I try to drink I feel a burp coming. Other that my abdominal area though I feel good. I went for a walk and to the bathroom.

Day 2 and I feel so much better. I can drink juice and broth again. Pain is manageable and slight weird feeling. I've walked around this floor a couple times now for 20 minutes each time.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
