  • Popular Post

I of course have many questions and would like for February Sleevers to join together for this adventure and life changing decisions we have made to better our health and lives. I think it would be awesome to find other February Sleevers to share our experiences good and bad.

    Different Doctors definitely have different requirements. 2/14 I have 5 appointments for testing and then day before surgery is liquids but that's it. I used Bree DeWing out of Bismarck Nd. My surgery is 2/20 :)

    Had mine done feb 1. Surgery was easy..gas pain afterwards sucked! I'm feeling a little down cuz I wish I could eat some wings and pizza while I watch the game tonight but next year...right? :) feeling a little sorry for myself about missing out on things I enjoy but keep telling myself it's only temporary.

    As I was eating dinner tonight, it hit me that this weekend is the last time that I eat a large meal with carbs. I kind of freaked out a bit as I start liquid diet on Monday and the surgery is 2 weeks after.

    I have waited for this for so long and my life will change forever. I know that this surgery is my answer to no more morbid obesity. Yet I am scared....scared of the unknown. Anyone else understand this??

    Yes!! I felt the same way! Remind myself I'm trading the joy food gave me for new joys that healthier body that I can enjoy life in new ways.

    That's a great way to think of it. I'm gonna have to remember t.. I'm also in my last days of food until I start my liquids on the 8th.. and I've been allowing myself to enjoy things one more time, but I'm also realizing that, like sugar.. ice cream or pizza, or whatever, once I have some, it's just ok.. it's more the idea of it, built up in my mind something super wonderful, and then I eat it, and it's just pizza... not special, just pizza. lol.. so yeah, even though i start liquids on Wednesday, I think today, I will enjoy food- as it super bowl, but tomorrow and Tuesday cut back down and prepare for a different me, who doesn't need food to enjoy people and super bowl parties and such.

    I had to giggle a bit as I kinda did something similar....like "last meal/last rites fat girl walking" thing...it's so silly, but it was a fitting good bye to the old me and now I'm getting ready for the new me. Kinda like feeling like you're on a roller coaster and the last meal was getting in the car, getting strapped in is your first liquid diet meal and that long long climb up to the top of the first drop is the pre-op diet...oh the anxiety...and the excitement!!
