I had 2 week pre op diet and I lost 10 Ibs

I really just want to eat something Not a lot just something

I was also sleeved feb 23rd 2016! I have been wanting ritz crackers and black olives! Weird right?

I'm choosing sleeve bc I'm not a fan of the idea of moving around my insides! The sleeve is straight forward.....they cut part of your stomache out!

I understand where you're coming from! I am getting the sleeve on February 23rd and I'm very excited! But I also feel shame or a little disappointment in myself for having to go this route! But, I've seen it work for others! So I'm taking that leap of faith so that I will be healthier! Im praying that all goes well and that i can finally feel confident about myself and my body and not be so ashamed to wear certain clothes!!!

My doctor reccomended flinstones complete chewables! 2 a day!

All of your NSV's are so encouraging! Thank you for sharing! My surgery is February 23rd and i am nervous and excited! Reading all these positive outcomes ya'll are having is awesome and inspiring!

Im Feb 23rd! Very nervous! But excited to finally start down a healthy path for the future!

I absolutely believe you have to do what is best for you! A therapist should not discourage a healthy lifestyle choice! I went tk a counselor once who was always making me question myself because of her personal opinions or life experiences! Guess what? I changed counselors! I was so happy I did too! Because my new counselor was great and encouraging!

How is life after the sleeve so far?

How r things going?

I worry some about it, but having a healthy heart and no diabetes is better ????

Im curious about how long to stay out of work for too? I waitress! So theres a lot of lifting and carrying things and hurrying!

I'm not sure which to choose? I am waiting on a referral to go see a WL doctor. I'm nervous! I keep gaining weight! I think in the last year I've gaine 100lbs. My blood tests show no abnormal levels to explain weight gain! It's so hard to lose the weight! My knees and back hurt all the time! My self esteem is down in the dumps! I have no energy! I feel trapped in this body of unhealthiness! I feel ashamed I've become this way! I weigh 282 and am 5'6.....45 BMI! ???? So frustrating!

I have an appointment on the 30th for my regular Doctor.....it takes forever to get in! And I want to ask for a referral to go see a bariatric Doc! I'm nervous they'll tell me no. But I'm at a 45 BMI and I'm 145lbs overweight! ???? i feel so low about myself! But I also feel like people will judge me for having the surgery!

May I ask how you decided which surgery?

Thank you that's very helpful!
