Jo-bug

I've been sleeved officially since Dec 27th 9AM Minnesota time yeah!!!! Not so much see I was so excited and self confident that this wasn't gonna be very painful due to the fact that I've gone under general anesthesia twice one of which was gallbladder removal laparoscopy and that I knew how healing would be I also thought I could handle this bumpy rollercoaster of emotional bullshit with food ya boy was I wrong!!!! My poor husband has really signed up for the huge unknown..I love him dearly and he loves me unconditionally he keeps telling me babe everything will be fine but all I can do is cry an cry some more.....I didn't do this for health reasons or vanity I'm reasonably healthy and he's always loved me an my fluffiness but we are both 34 yrs old an we've been trying for babies now for 4 1\2yrs ....he has a 7 yr old boy Leo I hate that I sound selfish I do love Leo I just wanna be a mommy for real ...now I sound like an ass....why did I do this to myself????

Yes

Ree...I was most definitely told that there were no other reasons for me not to conceive....all tho I do have a thyroid issue they never really pin pointed that they just said ya yep that could be a problem also oh and u could also have pcos but by the time we get around to doing an ultrasound there's only fluid there an we can't say for sure....I've become more an more untrusting with the medical field lately... And then to be treated like a nobody in the first two hours out of surgery is not kosher with me...that all being said now that everything is done and its basically all up to me to heal properly I'm very excited to see myself grow mentally if that makes sense...and become a healthy person to a healthy mom

Mn friend... The cold does not do anything for me that's for sure tiny house = not a lot of walking space more time to think about what I did....and drive myself crazy cuz I chose to stay away from damn near all my family during Christmas cuz of liquid diet and not wanting to explain everything then waking in the hospital with the worst pain I've ever felt..I never thought of myself as weak thought I had a high tolerance for pain!!! This experience has knocked me back a few..my hospital stay was not the best for me...I was left without pain meds for over an hour even after pushing the nurse button three times among other things I do not think I will ever recommend the university to anyone!!!

Thank u everybody I know I need to relax an go slow but sometimes my monster inside gets down right rude an takes over

4 days left till the new me!!!!! Haha no im still gonna be me just a bit diff and hopefully healthier ! Hope everyone is doing well with wherever you are in your process to the new and improved us

i think that would about kill me lol:)

Thanks for the vote of confidence .... I am working my a** off on our treadmill which i so conveniently put right smack in front of the tv lol ...im trying very low carb too (ketosis) i think is what they call fat burning stage and its not working ....now i believe my only hope is liquid diet. It seems like its gonna be so hard to drink my meals for that long!!!!!

Im also in the pre surgery loose weight phase (19lbs) by 12/8 ....my date got moved up due to insurance so im feeling a bit freaked. My Dr. doesn't force a liquid diet but in order to make weight i think( know ) i have to do it !!!!!!

Im always in pain and i also have thyroid issues ....but to get good exercise in i go to the local high school swimming pool ....it's great for low stress exercise plus it doesn't hurt that i love the Water... *BUG*

Looking for anyone in mn getting or hopefully getting sleeved in jan 2014 *BUG*

I'm having huge issues with getting my pre-op weight off not to mention quitting cigarettes. Not sure if I'm freaking out way too soon but I just am having trouble with the food cravings as i quit. As of oct 1st i have 3months left of pre-op nut visits an other labs right before but i meet with my surgeon this month an im fearful that he'll say im not trying hard enough to prove i can do this....am i subliminally sabotaging myself because of some internal fear of the surgery itself??? *BUG*

Yes the prize is what i should be focused on *BUG*

I really appreciate your comments!!! I do believe im strong enough for this journey...just wished I'd quit smoking years ago when i first attempted it, this process would be way easier...maybe... *BUG*

I wish i could see a phyc but i live in such a small town everyone knows everyone i feel my issues would be in the local paper as it is i drive 1 1/2 hours to get to nut an surgeon visits *BUG*

Thanks i think i may be having a bit of a melt down *BUG*

Where did u go?? Im also a minna-snow person i am currently going thru the process at the university w/ Dr Leslie....my ins is way diff tho I've got to go thru 6 months of nut meetings then im good...although my tentative surg date isn't til jan I've already got the phyc evaluation and sleep study done now its a waiting game and i need to lose 13 lbs not way easy hard but to keep it off for the next 4 1/2 months will be

Im 33 no kids(want them something terrible) my awesome husband has a spunky 6 almost 7 yr old son. I've been throwing the idea of wls around in my head for over 3 yrs and now that i am actually in the process im kinda scared shitless....any who I've been on thyroid meds for over 6 yrs they promised the pills would work then it was oh u have pcos then metabolic syndrome and on top of that u r well over weight for your height not to mention crazy cycles bleeding for 35-60 days an then not at all...for some reason when i went in for my first consultation with the surgeon i thought for sure they would have some reason for why i didn't qualify for sleeve procedure....low an behold he said yes that was july 25th....he says u need to quit smoking an lose some weight ....anyone else know how hard that is???? Its becoming a reality and i might actually get a child of my own(oops sorry hun ours). Has anyone worked so hard for something then when u realize it could come true u fall apart and wonder if u will be any good at what you've wanted for what seems like an eternity.....my poor husband has been on a rollercoster and he never bought a ticket!!! Thanks to all that see this and don't think im totally nuts *BUG*

Tally-o Thank u so much just knowing that there is others out there that have the same feelings is a huge comfort
