So I had my final appointment today with my surgeon. I'm scheduled for surgery Monday. I have a mixture of feelings. Ready, scared, excited, anxious, happy, sad. It's alot to handle. I'm so ready to be healthier. I'm ready to be a better more active mom that can get on the floor and play with the kids or can go down the water slide when we go to the water park. I'm so tired of my husband getting all those moments and memories and me just sitting and watching cuz my weight is holding me back. I'm so ready to be a better wife cuz my weight isn't controlling my self image. I've done so much to get ready for this. I've lost almost 30 pounds already. And I can already tell I'm feeling better about myself. I'm ready to be the person I used to be before the weight....friendly, and outgoing. I'm tired of hiding behind this weight and being to self conscious to be myself. I'm ready. I'm sad to say goodbye to food but I'm done with letting it control me. It's been my comfort for too long and has been my downfall. I'm ready to be the one to control me. I have so much in my life to make me happy instead of food. Two beautiful little girls and an amazing husband and great career. I've got everything I need to be happy. I just need to fight to get myself back and make me even more happy. I'm so ready for this. I'm a little scared of the changes but more scared of surgery itself.

Any kind words or advice would be appreciated lol.

My sleeve was 10/18. It's so great to be on the other side. It's going so much better than I expected. Stay ahead of pain, gas, nausea. Walk, walk, walk and sip, sip, sip.

Good luck. I have lost about 10 - 12 but I had the liquid diet for about 2 weeks. It's been a rough 2 weeks but I made it till now so that's good. My surgery is at 1pm. Hope urs goes well too.

Oh I feel just like all of you...a mess of emotions, lol. My surgery is Nov 7th. I joined the FB group for Oct/Nov surgeries so hopefully we can all talk & share more there.

Surgery went well. I was in alot of pain last night after surgery but am feeling much better today. Ive been up walking around all night and morning. It does help with the gas pain in the chest and back. It is a little uncomfortable to eat or drink anything but they said that that would get better.

Still recovering. My incisions are a little sore. I still feel like my stomach is foreign to me but it's getting better. It is hard to tell myself to eat something cuz I genuinely don't feel hungry. But I'm working on it. I'm set to return to work on the 7th s f I'm trying hard to work out all the kinks of this new life before I get back to work.

It is little weird cuz my stomach doesn't feel hungry but like last night when my husband and kids ate pizza it smelled good and i did want some even tho I wasn't hungry. I mean i didn't obviously but it just goes to show that some of this is mental as well and u don't get the instant satisfaction u got when u ate anymore.
