Hey everyone my surgery is in 9 hrs, so many mix emotions right now, but I know everything will be ok, wishing everyone else good luck and many blessings on their journey [emoji1545][emoji1545][emoji1545]

Some days are easier than others. The first few days were certainly the worst, though I am struggling today for some reason. I find myself going to bed a little earlier than usual, partly due to fatigue, but mostly because nighttime is when I usually snack. On Saturday, I attended a soccer (sorry - football) match, where there was an open bar and free food, and I somehow managed to get through it, but it's not an experience I'd like to have again until I am much further along in this process. Seeing the weight start to come off quickly has been a big motivator as well. For me, at least, the key has been making sure I am constantly sipping on something, so I stay relatively full. That being said, it's certainly not the worst thing that's ever happened to me, but I am very much looking forward to having this part done and over with.

I was sleeved 15th feb, happy to be your buddy. It's not easy is it. Such a change. I'm ready for some crunch. How are you going?

Don't panic, this happens to me everytime I lose more than 12lbs a month. As long as there is no pain, smell, itchy discharge then it's down to weight-loss and hormones but it's annoying. If in major doubt and you have a chance of pregnancy then check immediately or speak to doctor in case.

Mine has dropped to 27 as well. I was pre op diabetic though. I still eat low carb foods but have about 60 grams a day dr orders. I eat a healthy good carb snack like fruit before a work out helps too. Im 6 months out a1c 4.6 now. I still have lows.

Good luck you'll rock it!

It's almost time, good luck

I'm getting sleeved 3/28! How is everyone's liquid diet going (if you doc requires one )?

As a lightweight it sounds as if you're right on target. I remember I lost 19lbs. in my first month. That was pretty much the least of any DSer I knew. But I was like you. I knew I'd just keep chugging along. And I did. And I have. Almost 12 years later.

As of today my BMI is in the 'Overweight' category instead of 'Obese', at 29.9. Woohoo!
