I'm so sick of shakes and yogurt. Two weeks out and I have my follow up in two days. I'm asking (begging) to be released to puréed foods. People's lives depend on it!

Hi I'm in the hospital already and having my sleeve done at 10am tomorrow morning. It's now 18:37 in Kenya. I'm so nervous.... please keep me in your prayers. [emoji120]

Oh my gosh yes. I went to my first weight loss surgery place over a 1 year ago. Starting loosing weight and thought "I can do this my self". Yeah right! I never could before why did I think this time would be different. So here I am a year later had my surgery (4/18/17) and I have LOVED every minute of it! I am down 34 pounds in 7 weeks and feeling so good! All I can say is DO IT! Once the weight starts coming off, you will wish you did it along time ago. That's what I keep saying to myself. Wish you the best!

I see everybody on here get approved and given a surgery date. Are u able to choose ur date or do u have to take wat is given to u? I looked online last Thursday and saw I was approved. No phone call yet but I feel like if I'm given a date for June or even July I won't be ready.

I never felt the need to start things earlier than the day before surgery as required.

Almost a year after attending the seminar my VSG is scheduled for June 30th. Tomorrow I go for my pre-surgical testing, my last visit with my surgeon and a group class. I'm not nervous at all about the surgery, just excited and cannot wait to see what the rest of my new-found life awaits. My surgeon told me at my first visit with him that I will lose 90 lbs. over a year! Given that, I am seeing on different posts on here that people around my weight are losing weight at a quicker pace. I know not to compare myself to others, but just wondered if the weight is coming off quicker than expected. I have been heavy most of my life and I'm really having a hard time wrapping my mind around what I will look like 40, 50 or 90 lbs lighter. I keep hearing about the amount of energy people are gaining and really looking forward to that because I am tired all the time and could sleep anywhere. What kinds of vitamins is everyone using? I have been trying Celebrate vitamins, but they are so big and so sweet they are hard to choke down. I have never really been able to take vitamins without nausea..even with food. Any ideas? Sorry for such a long post, I guess I'm just excited that this is really about to happen! Height: 5'11/2" Hw: 262 Cw: 242

Thank u about the spasms I haven't had much warm stuff been scared but I will give it a try I'm going to try to have some soup tonight for dinner it does get easier as the days go on and I know it will just painful so I worried. The gas has been one of the worse I have been walking a lot hard to know if I'm over doing it at times cause it keeps the spasms down to but then when I rest it hurts to move again gotta find my happy medium I guess thank u so much for you reply...[emoji178]

I think she could halt any weight loss and probably tear her pouch. The rules are there for a reason. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using BariatricPal mobile app
