I'm on my way today! I am at the very beginning of my journey and just lost my 1st pound!! I'm going to celebrate EVERY SINGLE ONE....and you guys are stuck with me! LOL

Hi guys!!! Tomorrow is the big day!!! I'm a bit nervous, but good nervous,excited, so many feeling all at once! Tomorrow my new life beginning! Wish me luck, and as soon as I built some energy I will get back to all of yous! Good to those September Surgery we got this!

Some people worry before surgery, others don't. That being said, I have had many operations/procedures which required general anesthesia or an epidural anesthetic (10 at last count). I get nervous before each - I think for me its because I am completely giving up control of the situation and putting myself in the surgeon and anesthesiologist's hands. And that's tough for me because I'm a control freak. So, it's ok to worry. But know that the likelihood of a surgical mishap is incredibly small. There is a calculator put together by one of the surgeon's groups using all kinds of statistics. Put in your surgery - I made some assumptions - that you were under 65, and had a BMI over 35 (therefore qualifying for a sleeve) and it came up with a 0.1% chance of death due to surgery. So, by that calculation - it's more dangerous to cross the street. Be careful going to your car! Or flying home. It's ok to have anxiety. It will be fine.

I didn't think I would be this size evvveerrrrr.... It's weird but numerically and by my clothes size I know how "small I am BUT its still a surprise for people to call me skinny. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Inspiring!! My sw similar to yours. Your inspiring! Did you ever imagine you'd be done in 6m?!

I think it's the hanging about waiting for that the worst. I have been on the program since June 2016 but as it's on the NHS it takes ages. Have you ever regretted it ? Sent from my CUBOT MAX using Tapatalk

I use sugar free pudding powder to alter the taste of vanilla. 1 scoop is all you need. I was also told I could use liquid extracts, but not much due to the sugar content. Also use peanut butter/almond butter. It makes things taste better!

that happens when I've eaten too much or too fast. I hate it!

Thank you!! Wonderful advice. 4 years is awesome!!
