sleeveorbust

thanks for posting all of that!!!>.. I have always had a high density of muscle ... and i know that after the sleeve... once i start losing.. those muscles will start too poke out again... lol... (at least thats what i hope) Im really afraid of loose skin.. but i dont know whether or not being 22 will help my skin bounce back!? Anyway.. your looking great and I appreciate this post for sure!!!! thanks!

how long after the surgery can you go running or do any sort of strenuous exercise?

oh good luck!!! i am soon to be sleeved .... and I believe that this is an incredible decision made for me!!... i hope you both do well and things work out perfectly for you!!! only two days away until u have your new stomach!

IM SO GLAD YOU ARE DOING WELL!!!!!! how are you feeling!? ... do u have alot of pain or anything? im so close now i can taste it hahhahahah....... boy oh boy!... any advice now that you are there and experiencing it?

im starting to be a little restless... and after eating such bad foods for the last little while.. it is actually looking so disgusting to me already!! yay! i guess thats a good way to get u off of take out and junk food!

i love your new pic!!!.. and im glad that all is well with you... it makes me really excited because i am going in only 11more days!!.. i fly out in 10!!! ahh!!... i hope that everything for me works out like it did for you!! <3 xoxoxoxo!! its sleevers like you that make this site so uselful and encouraging!!

thank you so much for your encouragement... i guess as the days get closer (only 15 more days) ... i get a little more anxious but more excited than anything!

oh my word!!!!>... that is so exciting... now that all of you are getting sleeved day by day... it means im getting closer and closer! i will be thinking of you tomorrow.... you will do really great! <3

o god! I know it will all be ok... Its just so foreign to me... But I know its all for the greater good of my health and longevity

lol i wish that was me.... thats a pic of marilyn monroe .... this is beauty at its finest!! IMO

weird question...... do the rooms have a dvd player??... i was thinking about bringing my one tree hill collection to keep me busy!

aww thanks !!! yeah i have done absolutely nothing in regards to medical things... i had my first blood test in the spring and it was only three little vials but i was kinda freaked out about that.... im not chicken about the pain.. its just that im not used to this kind of stuff.... so far i have been pretty lucky with no real medical conditions... im one of those healthy fat girls.... ah! ... lol... i thought id throw it out there... because i love hearing what others have to say in regards to getting freaked out!!!!!! i think im gunna pee my pants lol!

OMG OMG!!!!! i can not believe its already the 14th..... GOSH!!! i will be thinking about u tomorrow!! :laugh0:

omg... im really starting to get the jitters... i am thinking about being under... and not knowing what is going on.... OMG... im having a small freak out... im excited tooo.. but i have never had surgery so this is a first for me... ugh... im getting scared lol

kerri 21!!.... I honestly know how you feel!!... I haven't told that many people about it ... I have not told my mom or dad because they wouldn't understand.. However I have told my husband and he is being quite supportive! I am so scared of telling them or them finding out... Because I know I will have negitve backlash... Ugh its hard trying to do better for urself but not being able to tell some of the people you love !

wowzers!!!! you are definitely pretty brave .... i would be way to scared to do that at that point in time.. but i have heard of people eating heavier foods sooner than recommended ... im sure it wont kill you but its definitely not a great idea... especially because we should be focussing on healthier food choices to make good use out of this tool!!!

what should we be intaking for the pre op diet..... is it just protein shakes and broths? and has anyone heard of iso-pro low carb? I am thinking about buying that for my preop diet/ post op.. any advice?

Thank you for showing us your success thus far!!! you look great and should be so proud of yourself!! <3 xoxox

you look so great and that big smile on your face says it all... way to go!! your amazing and i love hearing about all the successes everyone is having!!! <3 Congratulations!

oh my goodness... this scares me so much!!... my hair is fine and thin.. i know that it wont stop me from getting the surgery but im still paranoid... ugh!
