Downsizing Annie

April 2nd here... I'm a nervous mess, too! Mainly just the about the actual surgery and unknowns are freaking me out ????

My surgery is scheduled for April 2nd (in Michigan). ????

My surgery is April 2nd

I start my liquid diet on Monday... So nervous about the protein shakes, bought a couple different kinds but haven't tried them yet. :-)

That worries me, too!

I am so excited to share our journeys! I'm honestly terrified of the actual surgery, but I know the my fears are just because I've never had surgery before. I had my appointment with a nutritionist yesterday and am working on my grocery list to start gathering everything I may need when I come home after surgery. I am so thankful that my fiancé is being really supportive - last night when we were going through all the post surgery diet phases, he says he's going to do as much as he can of it with me, which I completely appreciate, but would never expect him to do! Anyone else nervous?? I start my pre-surgery diet in a couple weeks and am more concerned that will be more challenging than after surgery.

Hi everyone! I've been a "lurker" for a couple months reading everything I can about the sleeve journey. This is my first "real" post. My surgery is scheduled for April 2nd and I'm both excited and terrified, all at the same time. I've been over weight my entire adult life, and most of my family is overweight and suffer from a variety of weight related health issues. I have sleep apnea, high blood pressure and have been doing what I refer to as the "pre-diabetes dance" for the last year or so with my rising and falling A1C. I am so excited for what lies ahead of me, and so encouraged by all the positive stories others have shared.

Thanks for sharing!!! You look amazing!!!

I am! :-)
