    Anyone not tell family?

    We'll I live in a small town and unfortunately when you tell a select few the world knows. I could care less about anyone knowing but my fear is failure and getting made fun of worse then the fat jokes.

    Any regrets?

    I had regret the first week it was so hard. Then I told myself this us not a miracle cure it is a a life style change. We all have to change what we do or we can mess up what we have worked for. Stay focused it does get better.

    Head hungry

    Am head hungry and sight hungry. I had my VGS on the 25th of April. I followed my doctors two week liquid diet as he ordered. Now I am starting week four of the same diet. Chicken broth, powerade zero the usual things. Every where we go there is food all over the place. I never realized how life revolved around food until this surgery. Not the needed food to survive but the if I see it I am going to eat it need. I have done good ( as far as hunger) until yesterday and today I feel starved buy my stomach is fine. It does not hurt nor does it cramp. I am assuming this is head hunger that I have been reading about. Does it ever go away?

    My surgery is tomorrow!

    Prayers for a great surgery and easy recovery.
  9. Had surgery last Friday and Wednesday I cleaned house. I did all my weekly chores but took my time and rested between. Then I did laundry but only lifted the light clothes. I left the heavy stuff for the hubby. Did I mess up or can I mess up my new tummy doing small chores? I hate just sitting around.

    Bored with broth ????

    My surgery was the 25th and have been having the same problems. My friend said it will pass that the gas on your stomach causes it . She had the surgery and now snacks on meals all day and looks awesome.

    I'm freakin out! Please help! ASAP!

    You will be fine. Just relax or yout blood pressure will keep going up. If they did the stress yhe test and didnt say anything think of it as a positive.
  16. Was sleeved yesterday and although I have pain and nausea I am doing good. I walk and move around. My nausea is from the pain meds mostly because I don't take anything but Tylenol regularly. So glad I did it.

    So Nervous

    I was scared to death and keep going back and forth. I decided to go through with it the way I was going my weight was going to kill me. At least I did something to help improve my health. I had it yesterday. I will be honest it hurt, I am nausea and I felt like an elephant sat on me. Today I have walked and the other things are easing.

    herbal life for pre-op?

    My daughter in law sells it so that is what i used and the protein fruit mix drink. Had surgery yesterday and he said it looked good in there.
  21. I am so nervous but ready for this lifestyle change. I have waited a very very long time to see the smaller me that lives inside this shell. Prayers needed from all to get through this in the morning.
  22. Thank all of you for the reassurance. I have never felt old living by the motto your only as old as you feel. So I took that remark to heart I guess. I have stuck to my pre-op diet 100% as hard as it has been. She really messed up my mind set. But I push and prayed through and am still ready for surgery.

    Easter Dinner.. I watched

    I am pre surgery and believe it or not I cooked and cleaned. I told my husband after no more because I cooked for grown women that can cook. They just didn't want to. It is hard enough on a liquid diet then having to cook for others. But I made it and did not cheat. Five days and I will be sleeved.
