ChunkyAndFluffy75 9 Posted August 23, 2011 I have started making my list of items I am going to need before and after surgery. I have been to gyms in my neighborhood to find out what they offer and cost of memberships. I even have been in the stores looking at my dream size 10 regularJ. So I have found something’s to distract me, but the surgery is never far from my mind. I call the doctors office to ask questions and make sure they have all my test results and I have my seven week count down going. Thank you all for your word of encouragement and support.

SuperMom 33 Posted August 23, 2011 If I had to do it over again I would cook and freeze some 1 cup servings of mushy stuff. Right after surgery I just got so tired for the first couple of weeks. I would cook a couple good Soups, maybe a gumbo, a good chili, etc. At least it will already be cooked and all you will have to do is wirrrr it in the blender! Good luck.....lost another 2 lbs yesterday....this sleeve ROCKS!!!!! Having a great year!!! (Sleeved May 23, 2011) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MelissaG 0 Posted August 23, 2011 I love the idea of going through and arranging all my old clothes. I hadn't thought of that, I have so many old things that I'll be able to wear again, I think I'll do that some tonight. I'm sure I'll want to buy some new things, but I have a ton packed away. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am 23 days away and have been really stressing. I've been trying to keep my attention focused on planning for it. Heck, I've already packed! The time is just dragging! I, like you, thought perhaps I should leave the forum for now, to force my attention else where, but I just can't seem to do that. I'm even neglecting my farm on Facebook I love the idea of freezing the meals and cleaning out the clothes. I'm going to get busy on this! I think it's amazing how supportive the folks are here! Glad I stumbled onto this site!! Lisa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreginMI 76 Posted August 24, 2011 You said "do do". lol Kala, I was depressed to tears right after my surgery for a good two weeks. I finally got really stoned, had a couple of whiskies, made a party of one, and was OK the next morning. I don't recommend doing that, but do do something to break the spell. Best wishes.

smkeller 3 Posted August 24, 2011 I tried to find another way to say that, but that's what came out...sigh. You said "do do". lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thickinphilly 1 Posted August 25, 2011 Take it from me. Don't hang your happiness on getting the surgery. The weight loss is great, don't get me wrong. But, I'm depressed as hell. kala may i ask, why are you so depress. does it have anything to do with being sleeved? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
