Love posts like this!!!! Thanku for sharing proof to us who still can't believe we will get there that it's REAL!

Inspirational ! Well done u look Hot! I'm 10 days post op and I still ding fully believe I will get there. It seems like a dream but already lost 14lb so it's beginning! I wish u every success for yr future

Hi congratulations on your op & recovery, well done! I am 8 days post op, was sleeved on 24th & I too am feeling good. I have been on a roller coaster this week mostly due to bad pain management so if I could offer firer ops any advice from my experience I would say make sure your pain relief is paramount! Here's to recovery & weight loss & all the wonderful things we dream for ourselves and our families.

I'm 34 hours in & didn't realise the pain would be this strong either. First 24 were peppered with agony but slept well last night. We hav to remember we've had major surgery & that comes with pain. An inspiration to me is my kid sister who had it done on 14th & I nursed her through the 1st 11 days til I came for mine. Now she's nursing me. We'll get there and what's a couple of weeks of pain for a lifetime of thin?

I'm actually thinking ...... I'm 37 now, just accept what you are and forget surgery ??? Amazing the power of anxiety !

Given up on sleep now, hoovering & changing beds ha

Let's just live it! The high emotion moment are usually the ones that precede life change

I'm in tomorrow too & feeling very similar to you. Let's look at the people who have done this and know we can do it too. My sister had hers on valentines day & she's still alive and happy she did it & super excited for me to be the same. We can do it. And this summer we will feel better than we did last or for a long time. And we will be even thinner next! I can't quite get my head round I will be thin for life---- NO MORE YOYO! We can do it and we are doing the right thing. This is just last minute jitters x

Good luck NSABINO! I'm in at 3 tomorrow for mine too. I'm lying in bed crying about how much I love my children. I had no idea I would be a going like this. Good luck to the nurses tomorrow who have to deal with me! Fingers crossed I will have secured my stiff upper lip by then & won't make a complete goon of myself. I wish all my fellow 24/2 sleevers all the very best of luck. See you on the other side!

I'm getting my op on Monday and I have not been an angel with my pre op diet either ???? I have wondered about it & I do try every day and I am a good 85% true but I am not making 100% I don't think it will make much difference. Maybe pain afterwards will be worse? I don kno. Ppl have major emergency surgery every day and r ok so they are trying to make an ideal situation but the reason we are getting the surgery is we can't control our eating so, what dya expect? Xx

Op on Monday ...... I'm 88kg & 37yrs old have 3 children under age of 10. Divorced, single, working mam. How much weight will I loose? Will I be ok alone at home with children straight after? I'm taking a week timed owed at work and telling no one, will they guess? Is it worth the money? Is it selfish spending all that on me? Will it give me the new life I am hoping for?

Yeah it's really exciting. My sister had a lot if pain in 1st 24 hrs due to neglect from nursing team. But I remain positive. I've had 3 c sections and cared for new Borns straight after so how much worse can it be now? U look really great on yr pic. Loosing weight will boost my self esteem and I need that. My ex was abusive and continues to bully and harass me, this is a huge step in regaining control for me. X

My sister & I have both eaten ourselves into oblivion so were going into this together. She's 5 days post op, mines Monday. She's still in pain and still ecstatic & bouncing. We'll get there. Xx

Thank you Bella Your a peach! I'm getting a sleeve. I'm just having a few last minute nerves. I know loosing my excess weight will help my emotional wellbeing greatly. This site and the people using it are helping with the things buzzing round in my head. Thank you ⭐️

I got mine Monday, paying private. Durham, England

My date is 24th. New on here & sickly on quorn burgers. I'm a vegi and that's my protein source. I have chosen to Hide it from my 3 children age 6, 9 & 10. Can't wait for it all to begin x

Has everyone pre op stuck to the diet? My op is Monday and I'm not rigid, getting worried what will happen to me for not doing it right?

U look like a 'naturally thin' person. Gan on lass! U r an inspiration xx
