Ok other mommies!! I need some help!! I am beyond excited and can't wait to get sleeved on the 8th of April. BUT every couple of days I have a wash of guilt come over me about the what ifs...what if something goes wrong...etc... Staying fat for me is a much worse case right now since I already have Type II diabetes and high cholesterol. But how did you move past those feeling and stay the course??? Thanks!!!

Those that are post op... What have your boobs done?? Gotten smaller? Deflated? Stayed the same?? Also if you are post op have you thought about doing a lift or a reduction??? I am currently a 36/38 G and just wondering what others have had happen. Thanks!!!

I need an invite too!! Eld_teacher@yahoo.com

April 8th here too!!!

I woke up this morning with either a cold or allergies. If it is a cold will my doctor want to postpone my surgery???

Thanks ladies!! Just emailed my doctor to see what he says...

My surgery is one week from today!!! I can't believe how soon it is!!! I have been on a lower calorie preop diet for the last couple of months and about two weeks ago asked my doctor if I should do liquid diet for the last couple of weeks. He said I could but don't have to until about two days before surgery. So I have decided to start today and I am on just protien shakes three times a day for the next 7 days. I am only 6 hours in and I feel like I will NEVER be able to do this for 7 days... Am I crazy for doing this?? I guess I was figuring to start today versus Friday so that over the weekend hopfuly the really bad hunger is not too bad so my family won't want to kill me or vice versa... Advice?? Thoughts??

Yea I find that it is crazy the extreams of doctor plans on here...every thing from ZERO pre op diet to 1 month of pure liquid...

What have you drank?? I was just going to do protein shakes but wondering if I should add broth or something else??

OH ok!! How long ago were you sleeved???

So you did a total of three weeks then???

Alot of people use a timer for eating. They will take a bite and then set the timer for two minutes and wait to take another bite until the timer goes off.

Welcome!!! Can you believe it's a week from Monday??? OMG!!!!!!!

Just got my date and I am so excited I can hardly think straight!!!! Soooooo happy!!!

Hi Anna!!! I'm so glad it went well with Kurt!! I am getting soooooo excited!!! Pre op appointment is Tuesday!! Can't believe it!!!

How did you appointment with Kirk go??.

30 pounds in one month!!! That is amazing!!! Try and focus on the positive!!! Instead of saying...I've only lost a few pounds...say I've lost a few pounds!!

You are doing amazing!!!

How soon post op is it ok to drive??

Yea!! Another date buddy!! I have been doing a preop diet for a couple of months now. It's not like the ones I hear others talk about though. It's just common sense eating and tracking of food and calories. I don't have to do a liquid diet until the day or two before. Going to Kaiser. You??

I feel the same way!!! I am so glad you made the connection to being prior to labor!! That is EXACTLY how I feel!!!

You look amazing!!!!!

I'm April 8th!!! So excited I can't stand it right now!!!

You are too funny!! And you felt fine???

Ok so that brings up another question then...How long are most people on pain meds??
