I am so excited I haven't been able to sleep for most of the week. I'm like a kid on Christmas morning. At 930 tomorrow I check-in to have my sleeve!

I haven't told anyone on my job either. My partner and mother are the only ones that know. I don't know about anyine else, but at first I felt like I was doing something to be embarrassed about, but that's not it. This was/is a very deep and personal decision and I didn't want the opinions of other people that had no idea what I was going thru for so many years being obese. There is much confusion on my job as to what I'm doing and it cracks my up! Am I going away for vacation, FMLA🤔🤔🤔

Wow! My dr had me on stage 1(clear liquids) in the hospital the day after surgery. Once I was able to tolerate that he put me on stage 2 puréed foods. I was getting nervous bc I’m not hungry at all I can’t even eat if I wanted to. Having a Hard time swallowing. Still hurts.

Good luck going back to work! I haven’t told anyone in either of our families nor friends. Only my husband and a girl who I met at the classes we had to take beforehand. Just don’t want the judgement nor unwanted opinions that won’t be helpful. I’ll tell some people when I’m healthier and it’s well over, so their opinions won’t matter at that point.

Officially 1 week post-op. Finally on track with liquid and Protein - struggled the first 5 days. Now on full liquids until follow up appointment next week.

Good luck to all those pre-op or in early days - it gets easier! We’ll be here to encourage and share your journey!

Apple and Stevie,

How are y’all doing? The gas pain this morning was pretty bad. The pain meds have been great and I’ve gotten in some good walks.

I’ve had Water, broth and Jello. May be able to go home in the morning.

Hope y’all are doing great!!

Hey I’m doing pretty well. I’ve been five laps through the hallways seven laps equals a mile maybe I’ll get it tonight LOLI’ve been spared nausea but I’ve been getting a little Zofran that may be the reason. Not too sore. My kingdom for a sip of Water.< br>

March 27, for me......very nervous. I have a lap band that twisted and can't wait to get it out, I only lost 35 pounds with it I've had it 7 years. Ugh

I look forward to loosing more weight and getting off sugar and high blood pressure meds.

I hope I can do this.....it's really helping me to read through all these.....thank you all.

Wishing you the best with your surgery. I’m also on 3/27/18, I also have a lapband and I’m being told that if there’s too much scar tissue when they remove it. My sleeve surgery will have to wait a few weeks. I’m so glad to be in this great group too, everyone is so helpful and informative.

Hey guys!!! Day 8 post op, day 3 on full liquids. Just wanting to know if anyone is having trouble with Protein? If I add unflavored protein to my creamy Soup or if I sip on a Protein Shake I feel so sick to my stomach. pudding, sugar free popsicles, Water is all okay, but anything with sustenance makes me feel ill. Help!!

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
