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.

My surgery is this Wednesday! Eeeeeep! Anyone else feeling/felt particularly anxious before surgery?

Thank you! It is the kind of support I need! Just having someone to help me understand at least. I've been through all kind of appointments since August 2016, and my last meeting with the nutritionist was 2 weeks ago, and nobody mentioned anything about the weight gain. I'm on day 6 of the liquid diet, which only allows me 3 Protein shakes a day, broth, tea, and some green veggies with no oil or dressings. And I've done it perfectly!! I'm very proud of myself because it has not been easy at all, but I'm so excited and committed to this. I asked to meet with the surgeon tomorrow, but they seemed pretty sure about their decision. I'm going to try anyway. It's very unprofessional and heartbreaking for me to hear that I've made it this far to not know now of a date. Thank you again for your support. It feels good to let the frustration out. At least I know now that I can use this forum groups for support instead of using food and alcohol when things go the wrong way and I'm filled with anxiety

Good for you, Anina! None of that is easy. I agree with BosseNueva32-- the whole situation doesn't sound right. Something's very fishy. I'm so sorry you're having to go through this, and I hope it all works out!

Thank you JBlue! And good luck on Wednesday!! All the best to you, and hope to hear from you soon with updates and how great you feel after surgery

Yes I did.(02/08/17) Then I started thinking about this summer and not being hot and sweaty because of the weightloss. After that I was fine.

That certainly helps keep things in perspective! Good point! I'm going to look forward to that as well!

Hey Quinn,

I'm on day 6, and I feel like it's a lot easier.. those first 4 days were brutal.. but just take it day to day

Congrats! You got this! [emoji4]

Im so happy! I just spoke with my doctor, and my surgery is back on track for next Tuesday 21st! It was a few days of uncertainty and stress with the possibility of having to reschedule due to my previous weight gain, but I proved to myself and the doctors how committed I am. I have lost 8 pounds during the first week of liquid diet thanks for your support, and good luck to everyone on your journeys!!

Good luck [emoji6] just add mine done on Monday 13th Feb 2017 .
