Soon to be Skinny Sarah

Okay guys I am a total stomach sleeper and sleeping on my back/side is killinggggg me!!! I toss and turn all night. My back and butt get like sore! Its weird! But they are like really sore from sitting and then laying all night. I havent dared tried to sleep on my stomach yet because I dunno- I'm afraid. haha. I am one week post-op and really wanna try to sleep on my stomach soon though! How long did you guys wait?? Is it gonna mess anything up if I try it? haha that sounds silly, but im in desperate need of a good nights sleep!! ANOTHER thing that is killing me is pureed food. I cant stand the thoughts of ANYTHING pureed so i'm sticking to yogurt, pudding, Protein shakes ect. any idea on things to eat that you dont actually have to puree?? Thanks!!

I had my surgery with Dr. Northup March 23rd 2011. Awesome.... Would definitely recommend him

Thanks for the tips guys. I tried it on my stomach and it wasnt bad! Sure not like it was before, but I know that day will come lol! Ohhh if I can only make it to solid foods without killing someone. haha.

Nothing serious is wrong, its just the gas pain is just horrible for me. I am prolly a big baby, but its just so much worse than I expected.... ugh. I cant wait for this part to be over! For me it all went down hill after they took my precious pain pump away in the hospital lol. THey still gave me pain medicine, but it was SO hard to choke that down, it still is! I can barely get it down! Yuck! Today is better than yesterday, and hopefully tomorrow will be better than today! GOOD Luck on your surgery!! I Have to keep telling myself, I'm doing this for a reason, and no pain no gain! OR loss in our case!

Hey all. I had surgery Wednesday- and am currently thinking- WTH did I do to myself. The pain is unbelieveable! whoa! Anyways on another note, I'm from Cincinnati- Hamilton actually. I would love to see people like "me" lol that are close by

Good Luck KK mommy & Heather that was great advice!! My surgery is Wednesday and I'm a NERVOUS WRECK!!!!! I'm just worried my liver wont be small enough! I havent cheated on my 2 week liquid diet, but I have only lost like 12 lbs, so hopefully its enough!!!! Good luck to all you sleevers this week and please pray for me!!

You are right! It does get better day by day! Today is day 2 for me and its a lot better than yesterday! Its a little daunting knowing that I have 13 days left of this! It really is harder than I thought! I am super glad I havent cheated yet, but I do kinda feel like my stomach is eating itself! haha! My surgery is March 23rd. so pray for me to make it through this diet and surgery okay. Good luck to you! Cant wait to be sleeved!!!!!

I start my pre-op diet Wednesday and im suppppper nervous!!! I'm counting on you to do good so I do! haha. Seriously though, I know its going to be killer. 14 days of pure heck!!!!! I'm rooting for you! I know the end outcome will be well worth these next 14 days... if I make it

I start my pre-op diet Wednesday and im soooo nervous! I have to do 4 shakes a day for 2 weeks! eeek! I HOPE that I can do it without cheating! I'm pretty sure I can- because im really worried that if I dont it will possibly cause problems with the surgery, I mean hey- they dont just have you do it for kicks and giggles- there has to be a reason its important. So I think, I dont want to die, so I better not cheat! lol Good luck to everyone!!!

Your like reading my mind!! Those are the exact things I really want to do, with having a baby being #1! I cant remember the last time I was able to comfortably cross my legs! The things that skinny people take forgranted! It will be a nice change when that does happen

Im having my sleeve March 23 and I start my liquid diet Wednesday! YAY LOL I'm not looking forward to it, but what has to be done, has to be done. I was just going to tell you, I've been working on "coming off diet coke" for 2 weeks now. I am finally 3 days with out and 1 day with only a slight headache. The whole 2 weeks while I was weaning myself I had killer headaches. I tried to quit cold turkey and it was just to much, my head felt like it was going to explode! SO I talked to my doctor and they told me to gradually stop, so that has helped me a lot! Good luck!

I got my date too! March 23rd.... super nervous!!!!! Good Luck!!

I think its so weird that almost all of you are "always cold". Im excited for that!! lol. I wonder how long it lasts?

Really Really reallly love this post!! Loved reading all of them and it gives me hope for my surgery in March! Makes me very anxious to have 10 truths of my own Thanks for sharing everyone!!

March 23rd for me!!

That was so nice of you! I would love a copy. My email is sarahhays82@yahoo.com. THanks so much!
