BE STRONG!!!!!!!!!!! You are stronger than what you think!!! Hey Tiff your my new sleeve sister so I'm here for you.

[TiffanyIsMajor 1]

Awe thanks babe! Now if I can just figure out how to stop eating everything ...I'll be good lol

[stlvoy02 1]

I understand my dad just cooked steak, shrimp,corn on the cob, peas, and baked potatoe. Why in the hell would he cook that the day before my surgery, just rude!

Just another day and you will be on your way to having the best tool in the toolbox to help you along the way! Once you complete your liquid/mushies post-op diets you will be able to eat again one day just in smaller amounts. I can't wait to get my sleeve!

Tiffany,

Do you really think you're ready to start this?

Once you do it there is no turning back and there will be no more eating everything.

Do you think you're mentally prepared for what's to come?

[TiffanyIsMajor 1]

Well ONE it is a little too late to even bother analyze it because my surgeon has my money in his pay pal acct already, My flight is books and my hotel is too.

And TWO I dont think anyone is ever fully prepared to actually do this. They all seem to be just to the point of: they are as ready as they are ever gonna be, so...

I am as ready as I am ever gonna be...

I have a friend with a bypass and I told her the same stuff your saying now. "I can't go without food that long" She just laughed and said I would understand when I get on the other side.

Good luck tomorrow

If it helps, I will be 4 weeks out on Wednesday and I will admit to having a little remorse the first few days after surgery. I hated that I just couldn't control myself and had to chop a perfectly good stomach! I was sitting in a hotel room only able to take the TINIEST sips of Water thinking "What in the heck have I done?" By the beginning of my second week I was WAY better. Week 4 and I am thrilled, I have absolutely no problems with my sleeve, even with 85% missing my stomach is still ready to roll! I eat all of my Protein already, I can eat almost an entire chicken breast with no problems at all and my surgeon does not have you blenderize anything, he just says to chew thoroughly. I can take pretty normal sized drinks of water too. It is amazing how quickly your body can repair itself! So while I am sorry that I had to have the surgery I am also thrilled that I did. All my best to all of you, good luck!

Well good luck to you and I hope your surgery goes smoothly and your recovery as well!

Just saw a Slimfast commercial, making it seem so easy to lose weight fast! So, why are WLS patients put down so much because we will lose weight fast? So surgery makes it different? Maybe because this IS a more successful (permanent) way? We all choose our way, we are all different, one size does not fit all, so glad I have my mother's experience 16 years ago to go by, I know i am making the right choice.

Tiff, bottom line, believe in your choice, know there will be changes, you needed them whether through surgery or some other means!

Belive in you!!! You can do this!

Good luck Tiffany! You will do great. This is why you are getting the sleeve so that you can't say "WHY CAN'T I STOP EATING" lol because after tomorrow you will be able to stop YAHHHH!!!!

You will be just fine! As was said above - your new tummy is not gonna let you over eat. While there are things I wished I would have cut back on before surgery (diet pop!), the recovery period will help you adjust. You won't have an option!

I am fortunate that I didn't have a pre-op diet because I was absolutely in see-food diet mode:sad0:. I really admire those who make it thru a pre-op diet - especially the two week or longer ones!!

[wannalise 15]

Tiffany you will be just fine. I had a really difficult time with the preop too, but seriously the learning curve with the sleeve is nice and slow and just be willing to take it that way. Some days will be great and some uber frustrating, but you will be able to do this!

I understand my dad just cooked steak, shrimp,corn on the cob, peas, and baked potatoe. Why in the hell would he cook that the day before my surgery, just rude!

I'll be round soon... please keep some of that yummy food for me!!!

Seriously tho, Tiffany - wishing you good luck with your surgery.
