It's been a struggle, to be honest. I've been feeling sluggish. All I want to do is sleep and stay away from everybody in my house when they eat food because I'm on the full liquid diet and very bored with it. It's been hard to make my hydration goal, but I think I'll make it tonight. I'm gonna do crystal light. I'm also struggling with the protein goal. I get half way to my protein goal by the end of the night. I walk for 20 minutes a day, but probably need to walk more. I'm trying to stay positive, but this week has been a real struggle. I hope next week gets better on the puree stage.

I had my sleeve 4/18! 5 days post-op!

So my surgery (vsg) is this Monday 4/18 and today is my last day of eating regular foods. I do a clear liquid diet tomorrow. I'm excited but also very nervous! Can't believe this day is almost here! My husband got me a hibachi dinner tonight as my last hurrah. Ahhh!!!

Wahoo!

Is anybody's date April 18th with me?

Barix?

Hi guys. I'm in the process of getting my checklist complete before receiving my surgery date. I am unsure of which procedure I want to get. I am 34 years old, 5'4 @ 225lbs. My BMI is 38.6 and I carry alot of my weight in my abdomen. I have type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and PCOS. I aspire to get pregnant again, but am currently suffering from infertility due to the PCOS. I had my consultation last week and am trying to make my mind up about which surgery is best for me. My doctor is basically letting me chose. Bypass helps eliminate the diabetes, but I'm not fond of the idea of having to take vitamins forever. I am a sweets eater. I love my sweets (cookies/candy)... I'm also feeling a little apprehensive. Hear me out. I want weight loss to happen. I need to lose weight! I’m tired of being the size that I am and how my clothes look on me. I yearn to look cute in the summer and wear the cute crop tops and not have a belly that looks pregnant. I want to look nice in a swimsuit. I want to feel cute in lingerie again. I’m so self conscious of how I look at the weight I am now. But what’s making me so apprehensive is the recovery stage. My buddy from nursing school just had a sleeve done 2 weeks ago and is telling me how rough the recovery period is going for her. I've also read how other peoples recovery processes have gone. It's tough but I know it's doable. I think I may be a little addicted to food. I ate sooooo good yesterday and ENJOYED it so much! I'll be eating good again today with the super bowl menu my husband has prepared. I'm so scared to have to give it up and I’m thinking/doubting if I can stay away once I get surgery. I need to hear a voice of reasoning to slap me out of this feeling I'm feeling. I'd appreciate it.

Oh wow! I’m not far from you at all! I’m in Dearborn!

I'm in Michigan as well. Where are you located?

Yes it is! I love it! Makes me so happy 🙂

Hi Angela! Congratulations! I am having the same surgery done 4/18. I'll be your buddy 🙂

Very well said! Beautiful!

Nope. Only the day before, which is Easter. My family's gonna be chowing down while I struggle lol

Yayy! Lets keep in touch!

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate you responding. I've ultimately decided to go with the sleeve. My surgery is scheduled for 4/18! Excited!

Thank you so much!

Hi everyone! My sleeve is 4/18! So excited!

So happy to hear that you’re doing great! I hope I do as well as you ❤️

Mine is 100% against it. It's to the point where if I mention it, he gets quiet or dismisses me. I try to show him videos about the surgery and he tells me he's not interested or to turn it off. I'm to the point where I'm just going to focus on myself and the surgery and do what I need to do to get it. He'll eventually come around. Hopefully yours will too.

Congratulations!
