brennasmom replied to VSG77's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hang in there. I am being sleeved April 29th. It is normal to be scared but which is worse. I have the same nervousness today but I know it is the best tool for me. I am done with 40 plus years of fat and this surgery is the best tool available to me! And I am 53 years old. Keep your eye on the prize -

Finishing up day one of 2 week pre op diet. Actually did ok. los of greens and water. Really like the shakes but always have had ecclectic taste buds! Nervous and excited. No doubt this is the best tool in my forty years of fat experience. The only thing that has given me hope! Hang in there! People here are so supportive! -
Best wishes for a healthy and speedy recovery!

Waiting for Insurance approval. But it is Girl scout cookietime here in Alaska and I was wondering how people deal with these great cookies. I am a GS leader and Cookie parent/manager. Seeing there will probably not be a bariatric cookie in the near future-just curious and also looking for some tips on how to handle the cookie situation. Thank you in advance. :)

She should be honored you chose her your most trusted friend to share your life changing moment with her. If you remind her of that just add that one of the qualities you admire about her is her non judgement support she have come to rely on and a major factor in sharing this news with her

Anyone out there lose too much weight that they were denied surgery
brennasmom posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am five months into my mandatory 6 consecutive months of weight management requirement for my gastric sleeve. In that amount of time I have lost 33 pounds. I am afraid to lose more as I am afraid I will be told I am no longer eligible. Having the surgery has been my sole motivation to lose weight. I am making these changes to have a better life with the sleeve. Any words of encouragement is greatly appreciated. Thanks
