I'm so nervous about the surgery on April 11th I'm having bad dreams about it my mind playing tricks on me i know I'm doing the right thing for me cause i have hbp diabetes and sleep apnea my starting weight was 358 my weight now 336 liquid diet 12 days in so im losing weight just afraid of having surgery

I was nervous also. But i was sleeved on the 3rd. The first night, nauseau was horrid. After that its been smooth sailing. I started at 210 day of surgery today im 200 lbs. I feel pretty good and have stopped the narcotic pain meds. Im a diabetic and assumed it would be worse but u got this. One rough day for years of better health and happiness. Praying for u.

I'm sure you will sail right through with flying colors. 7 months out , now at 232 from HW 365+ , SW 319, and although it hasn't always been smooth sailing, my boat will still make it safe to shore.

Ohhhh I’m day 4 pre-op diet and booked in for April 18th. Yay

starting weight before pre-op was 138kg

GW ??? I don’t know! How do people decide this?

Good luck! My surgeon set a goal just inside the healthy BMI range for my height. I just seem to remember feeling great when my weight was in the 130 lb range so that is how I picked. I just wanted to be healthy and able to move around more freely. Good luck!

Clothes are laid out ready for Tuesday and to stay busy tomorrow I planned a fun day at the dentist LMAO.. Going to the dentist for a deep cleaning really should keep my mind off things for a long while:) Everyone in the house is ready I think... I have let them eat whatever as usual because it is me that needs to change and I am hoping that maybe once I can eat real food again they will come around. I have been around every food temptation and think I have handled it very well even with my 11 yr old son in the car with fries:) yummmm fries:) Good luck for everyone who has surgery tomorrow wishing you all the best.

      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!!
