Wow! You look great and so confident! This pic is so motivating! MahoganySlim

So far so good. I'm officially on my 2nd phase and just happy to at least get to drink a Protein shake!!!! The pain is very minimal and I'm already down 13.3 pounds! MahoganySlim

I'm in Jackson, MS and I'm 6 days post op! Any other recent sleevers here? I'm so glad to find a forum with local motivation and support! MahoganySlim

I'm just now able to get all of my water in, 5 days post op! I am soooo looking forward to Cream of Wheat phase!! Lol! MahoganySlim

Understandable!!! I was nervous, excited, anxious, and happy all at the same time! Lol! So many emotions! I'm on day 5 post op and I feel good! Expected pain and soreness but nothing unexpected! MahoganySlim

Kids are very intuitive!!! I have a 5 year old and I just explained to him that mommy was going to the hospital. I told him that the Dr was going to help mommy feel better (I was also suffering from back issues due to weight gain). He understood. I just kept it simple. I also told him that mommy would need him to be her hepler for a little while until I was not achy anymore. He loved that part! MahoganySlim

I totally understand your struggle! I found that being prepared and having Snacks on standby helped tremendously! I'm a true foodie and it doesnt take much to set me off!!! Prepared snacks helped me. And I also made sure that I ate the mandatory meals/shakes on time so that I wouldn't be fighting hunger AND temptation!! As long as you're prepared mentally, you'll be fine! Just keep trying to focus on the bigger pictureb it's all worth it! You got this!! MahoganySlim
