First let me start off by saying AAAAAAAH, I cant Be my surgery is on March 5!!.. Now that I screamed my lungs out, reality is hitting me very slowly.. I just turned 22 on the 28th of january, and thanked God that i was really healthy growing up, in a way that if we cut out the part of always being obese since childhood, started when i was 5 really.. so we kick that out, n i could say that i was a normal healthy kid, just bigger than others.. Reality is sinking in, never had the chicken pops, never had restless nights with fevers and all that throwing up and runny bowel movements we have growing up, from germs everywhere, or from being around other kids.. Dont have high blood pressure, don't have diabetes, don't have any medical health problems that come with being obese.. Thank God... but now that i am 22, n i am looking around me towards other obese people, knowing what they are going thru, and seeing it in my family.. made me think of weight loss surgery.. only because i have struggled all my life since 9 to lose weight, tried everything, n nothing, the weight i loss i would gain back 5x.. But i am scared because of my first of everythings i never thought that in the category of surgeries in lifespan, that my first was not c-section- or apendix- or gall bladder... or tonsels-- but gastric sleeve surgery!.. It just slapped me in the face. even now i am thinking " wow u are really going through with this, u are almost there, dont back down"! I want to live a good life, i want to do things i would have done, but going to do it better with a new body!.. finally get on all the rides at the fair without having to think that oh but will i fit in this one, or wat if i slip out n this thing cant hold my weight.. going to fit into clothes i would never even thought of fitting, even though i tried, n squeezed my self into lol.. u too lol.. so little by little i will have to learn for the rest of my life, how to maintain n keep a healthier life style without going back to old habits.. i hope the 2 weeks arnt that bad for me, for i love food, but dont we all lol.. n for the greater good success is only months away!!! cant wait for summer, here in miami is soo hot

Me too nice challenge! Motivates me to exercise more that week n more liquids! Nice post!

Lmao lol hacked!!!

congrats on ur sleeve! walk walk walk n sip sip sip...

as far as notes, i think they record ur weight every month, the food you ate everyday so keep a food diary, they write down how many pounds u lost or gained, your activity levels for the month, what did u do, type of exercise if any, your morning schedule, the times u go to sleep,n hours of sleep u get. if u have sleep ap but they still may require u to do a sleep study, i had to do one at the last min.. but my insurance had already approved me without one, my surgeon just wanted to make sure i did not need a machine during surgery n after recovery.

speaking from my experience, mines had to be supervised as in a nutritionist, u go visit once a month, they record ur weight, the calories u ate that month what u ate so on so on.. i had to log in and record everything i ate, n my nut monitored it, after ur done with ur last meeting, by then they will be submitting everything to ur insurance, i had to go to two classes on how to eat post op, n was given a booklet with guided instructions on the vitamins, times ur suppose to eat, calories.. so far so good! i am going to be three month post op on the June 5 n i can say i am half way to goal! yay... so yea check that out. they r there to guide u through the six month, suggesting ur calorie intake which will enable u to lose weight.. personally.. i went on a food funeral thu my six month n was actually gaining 2 to 6 pounds here n there.. but that's because i thought because of my weight n bmi that i wasn't going to get approved.. but if i knew i would of stick to the darn diet my nut put me on! would have been like 30 pounds less post op.. n probably at goal already!..

congrats to u guys! woohoo!!!!

second that, try to job at-least 2 mins jogging n walking for 30 mins, wear support, n don't forget to sip ur water! n protein before or after exercise.

i think at 2 1/2 weeks.. i just wasn't feeling it. had nausea was throwing up. i dirty the car a few times lol out the window lol...

Congrats girl God Bless ur family!!!

welcome, and good luck on ur journey! its always good to try other means of weight loss, i have tried many myself, but i am loving my sleeve! so again wishing u the best n update us on how ur insurance goes, if u have any questions keep posting

omg i was talking to one of my co workers about excess skin since he is also a personal trainer, n he was telling me just run, n drink water.. then he said the only people that get excess skin are those who have weight loss surgery, those cheaters taking the easy way out" i gulped so hard because i got weight loss surgery n i don't consider myself a cheater nor taking the easy way out, its really hard, what the hell is he talking about, so ignorant, u don't know what we go thru, how we feel.. u cant say things like that if u haven't experience it ur self. so i told him, what ur crazy i applaud those people for having balls to drastically change their body permanently for their well being. n i just left because i was so mad at him... but people are so ignorant. go ahead girl educate that person!

wow i didnt try that til i was four week post op, i took it easy on my stomach, did my phases on point, phase one clear liquids 1 week, then phase 2 week 2 full liquids , week 3 pureed phase.. week 4 soft phase.. which is basically solid foods but chew chew chew... now i can eat anything.. but i follow my nut booklet not too much fat /carbs or sugar. no snacking between meals n sip all day. but everybody is different, wat works for u might not work for others.. so if ur doc is ok with wat ur doing, n ur sleeve isnt giving u problems go for it. n it gets better. just dont get too comfortable .

I second that awesome start keep it up n don't forget to sip sip sip

You look beautiful!!! N 45 nah! U look like ur in ur 20's! Gorgeous!!! Keep it up ur doing great!
