I'm not sleeved yet..but because I ask so many questions .someone told me that they get a lot of discomfort when. They get air in there..I hope you get better soon..I can't wait to be 8 days out!!.what a relief..the anticipation kills me

I was sooo emotional I quit..week later started dieting ..and was going through a break up...LOL the diet didn't last..now I started preop! And I'm back on track for the most part and not emotional..just can't wait!..so proud of Mr!!

I just left a buffet because I had to take my daughter..I'm on preop diet and allowed lean meat and veggie..I had Turkey..like. 4 peices but I had a peice of trial tip and auger free pudding!..I went in with good intentions..I had a three week pre open diet and my surgery is two weeks from today..maybe I'm five?..I feel like I blew it..but I have already lost 12 in a week..I feel bad..I just wanna go run around the block..uugh!..don't cheat cause it makes you feel baaaaad!!!

OMG..I was exhausted today..I feel like I'm sleepwalking..I get 2 protien shakes and lean meat and a veg. I normally do that but have sugar free calorie free Popsicles..and sugar free jello throughout then I'm having a hard time..I have three weeks to do..each week stricter and stricter..334..last Thursday..today 322..crazy 12 pounds already!..but I'm starving....I did get used to it but today I rellized I need more water and take my vitamins..because I was so tired. !..good luck to everyone..

Hey girl !!!good luck to you!..I had started two months ago and my day is November 7th. I'm so exited..welcome to this group everyone is great and everyone helps eachother here..all this time and appointments will fly by and you'll be at your goal before you know it!!!

Get sugar free Popsicles..there is nothing wrong with you eating Popsicles..you will get past stall..just pretend your on a pre open diet again..visualize goal!

I am using him too...I am requesting to stay over night..everyone here HAD to stay at hospital..it makes me nervous he doesn't..I wonder why not?

Thanks soooo much...its weird he releases people...but I am requesting to stay for sure! ..

I think that's a great idea..I think you should post again in another thread..

I have a pre disposition to blood clots..a genetic mutation that causes my blood to clot more than normal...it is called factor 5 Leiden. I would suggest before any surgery having a doctor test you for this..I have the two weeks of shots as well..I wouldn't do the surgery without it..my dad died from a clot and my sister for one almost killed her by almost going to her lung..I am walking like crazy after surgery and taking my shots for sure! !

I am sleeved ob 11/7 and my birthday is the 11 the and I am not concerned about it at all!this surgery is all I can think about

My doctor does it outpatient. But he said that he will write it up that I need to stay if I want to. I am not sure why this is. I haven't heard of anyone going home the same day..crazy. I told him I wanted to stay. But have a friend that used him and said she was fine to go. I don't know ..but I think I will stay. At work...I work with other therapists..and will let me take as many breaks as I need and I can schedule my clients not back to back or schedule half of what I normally do..there supportive. Thanks so much for feedback..first time I have got this many responses.

I'm on November 7th!!.already been on pre op diet since the 18th..it gets easier after the third day..distraction is key for me ..and sugar free Popsicles!

I am sleeved on the 7th!!!so exited

Sometimes I forget that this is real..and I'm really going to he that person I always wanted to be. Sad part is I can't even imagine being thin. I can only imagine being thinner..I have no idea what this will be like. I have been over weight my whole life..always bigger than my freinds..and I never let it bother me. I made it a point to always be confident with me. I'm an awesome person and I would say I have never felt judged by anyone. I don't know if that is just my defenses. But I always thought of myself as pretty authentic person. Geez..its just so crazy to think..that I don't have to be over weight. I always settled and still even today 17 days away from surgery cannot imagine myself at below 190 pounds. All these years I have been settling. WOW! I am on my 4th day of protien diet. I lost 8 pounds and I started at 334 now am 326. Huge numbers. But like I said I was in denial. Im awake now. I'm a little scared and nervous. I have never had any kind of surgery before. I have had a c section. I don't know how this compares. I have a 10 year old little girl..and I love her so much. I want to be able to go run around with her outside and play..go to a water park. I want to still have energy after work to take care of my family. I know I'm not the girl I see in the pictures..I have been working on my masters degree for 6 years..and focused everything I had on my career and let myself get way out of control. I never thought I get this big but I didn't pay attention. Now I'm almost done with school..my career is taking off...I can work on me ..in this area of my life..I'm so exited. My surgery day is November 7th. Anyone that had seriuos fears..I'd like to hear how you overcame them and how your surgery went. ..comments on liver shrinking..leak tests..pain levels..or hunger pains and cravings after input is needed. I'd like to share my whole experience from beginning to end to help someone. I see people that don't follow up. I love before and after pictures..they are sooo motivational..I like this site because I keep learning from all of you ..hopefully I can help the next person too!

Make love to my man more creativly

Good luck..keep us posted..on the process..you will do great!

I'm glass you are doing better..did they do the leak test while doing surgery or did you do it later on?..my surgeon said the leak test he does is before they close me up
