I don't want it!! It scares me

Yeyyyy everyone!!! Well mine is on march 11th, I have preop testing February 26. I'm so excited it's getting close. I've been waiting forrrrrrever!!!!!! Good luck everyone!!! We will be on losers bench before you know it!

Mine is in 1 month 1 week and 2 days!!!!! Yeyyy!!! I can't wait! Well before long we will all have our day and start losing the weight we've always dreamed of losing. Good luck to all!

I meant hear! Oops.

@Healthy2015. Ok so I have not had my surgery yet, butttt I did have to tell my bosses about it because I needed the time off and I will not be able to pick up heavy objects for a little bit. So now I sooo wish I did not have to tell them, now that they have gone and talked about it behind my back and gossiping about me and now they make sly comments ( were I can here them) about weight loss surgery and about how "people just gain all the weight back," "and if there going to find a way around it they will," and I know they are all talking about me. They are all very big women and very jealous! So I try to ignore them. So maybe you might just want to wait, unless you think they are better people then that, just think about it real good!! Good luck to you on your journey!

@Big_Mama& @@sunflowerchild that's what I was going to say! That is so nice of you to give them to someone who I'm sure really needs them. Well God bless you and "skinny on"

@@WendyDTX I love the premier protein shakes, I would drink them when I was on a high protein diet, guess I'll be drinking them again, huh!! I can't wait!

I have a book that is called the "five day pouch test" by Kaye Bailey. It simply says that if you will go back to day 1 and do just what you did right after surgery, do it for five days that you can most likely get your pouch back down! This at least will help you get back on track. So give it a try! Good luck!

Well I have not had my surgery yet, and I really don't know what I will do, but........I will not do the things I see people doing after they had surgery. I know two ladies that had the sleeve, one had it about 8 months ago the other one had it in dec. So I see one eating chicken strips with French fries and gravy and corn dogs and drinking dr pepper and all kinds of bad stuff, she's a customer of mine so that's why I see what she eats so much. The other lady just had her surgery December 8 and I see her the other day and she was eating nachos with cheese and jalapeños and I just can't believe it! What is wrong with that picture. Is it that they were lucky enough to have insurance pay for it and didn't have the struggle of paying for it out of pocket so it's kinda easy for them to not try, or is it that they don't have the will power to not eat that stuff? I just don't want to be that hungry after surgery that I resort to eating the "bad food" I like these ladies don't get me wrong and I will never say anything but I don't want to be like them after my surgery.

@@Christi6972 that's great! I can't wait to get mine done! (Still have 6 weeks) ugggh! Well congrats and good luck on your new journey!!

@@NewBeginning2015 your post is why I said what I said! It's a concern of mine and I will take your advice and run with it. I will start my new life's journey learning from other people,and bending and turning it all to work for me. I know that I will probably have one of those bad days, I'm not perfect but I will try! Thank you for the advice and I will keep you posted. I can't wait!!

@@Hetera Thank you, I will be seeing her Wednesday night and I'm curious what she will say to me.. So I'm ready!!!!!!! Hope I have the guts to say what I want, I will try.

Congrats!!! I will be right behind you on march 11 I can't wait! I'm so ready to feel better and of course look better, as I'm sure you are too! Good luck and my prayers are with you.

@@shizwiz thank you for you're story, that was great!! I was going to have my surgery in mexico with Dr Alverez but decided to stay in texas and pay just a little more. I'm so happy for you and can't wait for my day. Good luck to you and skinny on!

@@soubifan700 you're welcome and thank you!

@@soubifan700 I haven't had my surgery yet but my doctor told me to get Isopure protein drink from GNC ( so I did) it is a thin protein drink. It has 40 grams of protein in it, maybe that will help you. Good luck!

@@LipstickLady I was being funny I would hope I wasn't really the enemy ! I will just be more careful how I say or ask things next time. ☺️

I know I am not Your age but I am excited for you! I will be having my surgery march 11th so I am nervous also. Well good luck to you!

Yeyy!! I'm happy for you! I just got the phone call from the doctors office letting me know the date for pre-op testing is February 26 and my post-op appt will be march 24. Yeyy!! I'm so excited it's all coming together now. So I know you feel the same way! Good luck to you

That was what I was trying to say and ask!! How can people that have the sleeve so early on eat like that! And then I was being taken as judge mental I'm sorry

I just feel that my ignorance to the post op part of life, made me the enemy. Like I said, I just said it all wrong the first time. Like carolvalen said, I just thought that stuff would make people sick or that the stomach couldn't Handel it nor would I think anyone would want to chance eating it after surgery. Now I know that yes people can eat it and yes they do, I learn something everyday!

Thank you Erp, I really am not judging anyone I have been judge plenty in my life I am a very open minded supportive person and I will always treat people the way I want to be treated! When I posted the first post I did not state or ask it the right way so now I'm the enemy. You are right I am just naive to how people can eat after surgery. Trust me I read I read constantly! I have studied and studied this life that I am about to enter, and I guess I learn something new every day!

Yes I understand what everyone is saying. like I said I do not know how I will be, I guess I'm just praying that I don't want to eat bad. I love junk food, it's my enemy, I don't judge anyone I guess I'm just kinda surprised that they or anyone can stomach that food after surgery, I guess they can, huh. Well yes I will probably eat bad at times because God and I both know I'm not perfect! I just really pray that I don't fall back into these bad eating habits that I have had! Please don't get me wrong I know every one of us is in this same boat and I pray for all of us to do good and make the right choices.

Well I really don't know about the one that just had it done, ( if she can eat the whole thing of nachos) but the one that eats chicken tenders and such, I've seen her eat the whole plate of food! I was really amazed and I swear her doc didn't do her sleeve right, is that even possible?
