Im going to be sleeved in a week from today, do you have any regrets about your Sleeve?
-
thanks you guys so much! Tuesday is the big day! Im a ball of nerves ugh!

Thanks Patty! I did just read them all, I feel very bad for the one lady that totally regrets it..I have been fat my whole life, Im done! Im 42 and really haven't started living, Id give my left arm to be able to bend over to paint my toe nails or better yet, not break out in a sweat while walking. Im just finished with this nonsense and allowing food to control my life. I wish I would have found out about this ten years ago! Tuesday is the big day for me, I am scared but excited as well! Im ready to start the next journey

Fantastic!!!! way to go ..what a huge accomplishment -
Thanks guys! Im going to miss the days of ordering appetizers, wine and eating a big meal but my rear end wont! hahahahhaaa

HELP! Feeling terrible on the pre-op diet - only 5 days to go!
Emilysmom replied to LisaCincyRN's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I feel for you!!!! I was supposed to be sleeved a month ago so I went through all this already, I ended up with a migraine for 2 solid days and couldn't take a thing,..I felt awful and Im due to be sleeved 7-30, not looking forward to it again, Im praying this round goes smoothly. I am so sorry your dealing with this, the only thing that seemed to make me feel a little better was sleeping and drinking lots of water. I do hope you feel better and good luck to you!! -
thanks!!!
-
Thanks so much guys! I think for me the hardest thing will be the appetizers and a cold beer..ugh...I will have to really retrain my brain to drink AFTER I eat, that part is so hard but I gotta do it. I am hoping to lose the whole "grazing" thing after surgery as I have a desk job and snack a LOT during the day..you guys have been so helpful, thank you!!!

I made the mistake of announcing on Facebook that I was having this procedure, Lesson learned! Never again! I am "crazy" and Ive been lectured for weeks now about how I should "try Weight Watchers" or here's the best...wait for it...."just stop eating" hahahahhahahahahah I cant! what did you guys say when people tell you negative things about the sleeve procedure or weight loss surgery in general? my favorite thus far has been, "you don't have the will power, your going to over eat & be very sick the rest of your life"...nice right? thankfully my family is on board but friends & coworkers are brutal! ugh!
