I have finally been cleared and approved for my sleeve surgery!!! I almost had to call it off (rescheduled 2x) after having a minor stroke earlier this month. My surgeon required clearance from a neurologist and I had to go thru a series of tests because of it (echocardiagram, brain MRI, lung CT scan). WHEW!

I'm finally scheduled for June 6 (my birthday is June 3) and I am so ready! One last hoorah this weekend (Memorial Day) although I will still eat smart.

Let's go! WOO-HOO

I will be sleeved june 24th. Having a hard time with preop diet. Especially at wrk.

My surgery is on the 27th. The closer it gets, the more emotional I get. I am angry at myself that I got myself this unhealthy that I need this surgery. My emotions are just all over the place.

Pre op diet at work was the worst. Better get used to it, though, because you're going to go through it with your post op diet, too.

The day before my surgery they had a ton of free food (lunch, ice cream celebration for something, Snacks, etc). It made me crazy!

I had surgery on June 7th and things are going well. So excited to see how this journey unfolds!

Day 10 and doing great. Have my first follow-up surgeon visit tomorrow and can't wait to see the results.

Day 12 post-op....feeling good and looking great! My only regret is that I allowed my weight to soar to almost 300 pounds!!!! This was absolutely the right choice for me and I thank God for the ability to save my own life. Yay!!!

My hubby is looking at me these days with those love eyes... I smile knowing he's pleased. How long did you all wait before having sex again?

I had my EDG today... Oh my goodness I am such a baby!!! I got all emotional and started with the feelings of how did I even get to this point. I am requesting something to take the edge off day of surgery, and I hope they will approve that. I am a super emotional person!!! Anyways on a funny note... When they brought me back to the room after the procedure I told my husband the gave me 30 glasses of wine to relax me.... Lol!!!!

My wife had a panic attack and canceled her surgery on the day of. They can prescribe something to calm your nerves if you request it.

I'm June 7th. Thank the lord. I'm so freaking ready.

I'm day 12 and starting on soft foods. So far so good. Last night I even went out with friends and had Mexican food. I had a couple bites of guacamole and about half the meat from a taco and didn't have any problems. I felt so decadent! Ha Ha

June 16 here.. So 2 days post op. Spent the day today at the ball park.. Wasn't bad. Getting in liquids was pretty easy. Needed to start protein but figured out the premise shakes weren't going to work but.... I added some unflavored protein powder to Bai coconut water and perfect!

I had mine on the 14th. I am doing ok but I swear I feel hungry all the time, maybe it's just head hunger but it makes me crazy. I'm looking forward to the puréed phase this week.
