Hey everyone, I am scheduled for the sleeve surgery in December. I have been struggling for over 10 years trying to lose this weight. My highest weight was 250.. I am currently 244... I have been so excited to make this healthy change in my life. Most people around me are so negative. You're not big enough, you can do this on your own, you are to strong to give up like this, I know someone that knows someone it didn't go well... I try not to let it get to me. But as I lay here awake at 3am when I'm supposed to be asleep. I have to admit I'm very afraid and wondering if I'm doing the right thing... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks guys... i had a moment.. my head is back on track!! I'm a single mom of two. The surgery part was scaring me. However being un healthy and unhappy is not a great role model for them either. I want to feel healthy and sexy again. I am back in track thank you for all the support it really helped!!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you! That really helped. I shouldn't have told so many people. I have been thinking about this for years. I know it's the right thing for me. Thank you for you encouraging words;) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I think it's important to find the right Protein shake. A variety if you can. I'm not sure what your surgeons requirements are . But I love premier Protein shakes. 1g sugar. 5 carbs. 30g of protein. I get the pre-made shakes. (Costco) My opinion: They are delicious. The chocolate takes like a chocolate milk or shake.. he helps with my sweet tooth:) I also really like the strawberry and cream... i hope this helps and the best of luck!! My pre op starts soon as well.. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

NJ mom... I'm am 36 and I am pretty close to getting my sleeve. I have told some family and most of my friends and co-workers.. I always start with I made my decision and I'm happy with it. I respect what they have to say but I know I am saving my life by having this surgery. They just don't understand what we have been through or are going through. Stay strong and keep your head up. You are taking control of a situation that has been very hard for a long time! Good luck and if you know this is right for you don't second guess. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
