This is one of my favorite jokes but my son doesn't get it. I think it's funny!

This sounds yummy!

You look fabulous! Happy birthday.

Good luck! Keep us posted.

I know right? I see the weight that some people lose on the pre op diet and I'm amazed. This is my 6th day and I've only lost 3 pounds! I'm just so nervous that my doc won't be happy with my loss. He did not say I has to loose a certain amount but like you said; I see how much others loose and I'm like damn!!!All the best to you Ladybug! What's the meaning behind your name? (Ladybug) I know I feel the same way, but I think the doc will appreciate that I've lost the weight I have and then realize that it's pretty obvious that I truly need this surgery to lose weight. You know i better get used to this because I will probably lose slow once sleeved. I have lost almost 5 pounds now. Whoop De do! There is know meaning behind my name. ..I just like ladybugs. ????

I went through this too until I had my ekg a couple weeks ago. It showed that I have an enlarged heart due to my weight. That was it right there. ... no more second guessing. I have to have this surgery because my fat is slowly killing me.

Thank you for posting this. It really does make me feel better. I'm 6 days into my preop diet wondering how I will ever be able to eat this little for a lifetime. But I guess having most of your stomach gone helps with this problem.

Good luck to everyone getting sleeved tomorrow. You will be in my thoughts.

We are sleeve sisters! My surgery is the 13th too. I am not allowed meat on my pre op diet but I can have 3/4 c veg., 3 medium fruits, 1/4 c cottage cheese and one yogurt daily plus my 2 protein shakes. Right now I'm suffering from head hunger really bad. I haven't had headaches at all but I do feel run down and just kinda blah.

I was wondering how you were doing. 28.5 pounds is awesome! !

Good luck:)

Congrats! Keep us posted on your recovery.

11 days and one sleep until I get sleeved. I have almost 3 full days of my pre op diet under my belt. I'm so ready for the 13th to get here.

Fingers are crossed and good thoughts are heading your way.

That sounds delicious! I'm on my pre op diet right now but will try this after surgery. Yum.

My preop starts today as well. I'm really anxious about it too.

Glad to hear from you! I was wondering how you were doing. Sorry to hear about your mom. That's rough. I'm glad you are doing well. Do you have a drain? My surgeon places a drain. I am not looking forward to that. I've never had one before.

Im only 15 and im getting the gastric sleeve on may 16th i finally got approved last thursday i was so excited! This is fabulous that you are gaining control now. I wish they had this surgery when I was younger.

My thoughts are with you and I'm sending you all the calming vibes I can muster.i know that I will feel the same way. Just think, this time tomorrow you'll be on the losers bench. I'm kinda jealous:) maybe take a nice long bubble bath and try to get some sleep. I can't wait until you tell us how great you're feeling post op and keep us informed of your progress. *hugs*

I am also finding it difficult to let people know about my surgery. My surgery date is May 3 and I havent told anyone except my hubby and my mom. Granted I know eventually everyone will find out because my mother couldn't keep her mouth shut even if her life depended on it (lol) but just dont want to deal with all of the judgmental criticism until the surgery is over and done with. In the past when I have mentioned vsg to friends and family their reply is always the same "just work out and watch what you eat", which I find hilarious because I have been doing that for years. Loose gain loose gain ect... all the while being miserable. Either I was miserable because I felt like I was starving or I was miserable because I was eating and felt guilty over it. I cant wait to have this done!! I am so excited and I really cant deal with anyone stealing my joy, so Im not telling anyone. (yet) I feel the same way. I already know how some of my friends and family feel about wls and I just don't want to hear the negative remarks before my surgery. I'm already anxious and worried enough without added drama. I think after the surgery i will be out of the closet regarding my surgery. When I'm feeling good and looking good, haters words won't sting so much.

Yay. Happy for you.

Hi. I don't get any real food on my pre op diet except a couple servings of fruit and some non starchy veg. My appts are on the 23 and 30, so I don't know any more than I did. I'm ready to be on the losers bench!

Yes I am the same way but the closer I get to my date the easier it is for me to be less nervous for some reason. Right now in just really wanting it to be over and mine isn't until the 13th. Ugh!

One month until my surgery! I'm so ready to be on the other side of this.
