Good morning Liz, Sounds like you are off to a great start. I have not been sleeved yet, Monday is my birthday!(LOL) Pray that you start to feel better

Hello everyone, I had my 4 hour preop class on yesterday and a lady asked what they did with the stomach they removed. The head nurse told us that they send it to lab first for testing then it is burnt!~ I love the picture tho...very interesting...

SicCHI, 84 pounds is outstanding! Congratulations on your weightloss so far. I will be sleeved on Monday! (can't wait). It sounds like you may know what could be stalling you with the munching but isn't that what you are going to do but just with healthy food since your stomach is so much smaller... I am just wondering. Don't be down on yourself because you have don't awesome just stop the munching and if you do just eat foods that won't make you fall off the wagon. Best of luck to you

Sending prayers your way!~ God will and is watching over you... update us when you feel up to it!

Hello MKB I am having my sleeve done on next Monday, September 10th. I am becoming very anxious at this point but I know without a doubt this surgery is for me. How? I originally began my journey wanting the Lapband. I went they that process for a year only to be denied by my insurance company!!!! During the process of appeal I was encouraged to find another doctor. I found De Marema at my initial consultation he told me about the sleeve. I had never even heard of this procedure until then and that was July. After praying about it researching it watching tons of videos and finding this forum I know without a doubt the sleeve is for me. All of my life I have done what made everyone else happy. I am now 40 years old and tired of living a life that I did not want. I am doing this for me.... No regrets and anxiety is normal but I am going to do this because I know it is the right choice for me

Good morning and I will be sleeved on next Monday a week from today! Yes it is normal to feel like you feel. I am dealing with very little support from my parents and last night I had to just get away for a little while to think! My parents each have a lunch box that they keep their medication in.... I love them but I don't want to end up like that. Remember what brought you to this place. Remember how you feel and how you know you will feel after the surgery? This is for your health and don't let nothing keep you from doing it. Sending prayers your way and I know you are going to do great

Congratulations on your weightloss so far!

I am on day 4 of my pre-op diet. I keep reminding myself that I am worth everyting that it requires to have surgery! I have not been hungry suprisingly enough and yesterday I did have a moment when I realized it was HEAD HUNGER! You will make it and just remember nothing tastes as good as being healthy and THIN is going to feel. Good luck YOU CAN DO IT

Amazing story and way to go on your weightloss so far! I am so looking forward to living with my sleeve. I have surgery on Sept 10!

Good luck to the both of you I am also on day 4 but of 12 days. It has not been as bad as I thought it would be. I am allowed to eat veggies, fruit and one serving of lean protein a day. THAT has helped tremendously.... Best of luck on doing the pre-op with no slipups.... We can do this

Hopefully your headache is gone by now and sorry you are not feeling well. I have my surgery on Sept 10th and this is my 4th day on the pre-op diet. It hasn't been bad and yesterday was the first day I actually started to think I was hungry... You can do this and you are so worth this right now... Can't wait to hear your success story... Best of luck on your surgery day and sending positive energy your way Blann

Good morning and you are not Debbie doubter just letting your feelings out! You can and will do this ... I am on my 4th as well and yesterday was the first day I sort of felt hungry. Make sure you are drinking your water and if you haven't get some low sodium chicken broth... It has been the best tasting thing the past couple of days. I can't wait for surgery either... Stay in touch and it will get better... we are in this together... Blann

Hello everyone, I started my Pre-op diet on Monday and yesterday was the first day that it was getting to me... I didn't cheat but I kind of figured out it was HEAD HUNGER that everyone talks about. Congratulations on this phase and before we know it we will be sleeved and on puree foods!~ You can and will be successful and so will I. Keep us posted...

Congratulations on your weightloss so far!~ You have some great NSV's now don't let "To be a cougar" be one!!! LOL... Enjoy and you are doing good so far

Congratulations on your weightloss so far!~ You look amazing and 90 pounds is outstanding....
