Any May Sleevers Here?

[crazyrai 17]

Hey there

I'm scheduled for May 15th at 1pm

If i can make it through this 10 day liquid diet the rest should be easy, i've never looked forward to using my blender to chop meat in my life...

The first day was pretty bad, i was very grouchy... It's just trying to keep myself busy so i can forget about the hunger pains which are still very strong as is my headache. I think my body is pissed, its making the most awful sounds....

But i can't wait!

Scared, excited and ready to be healthy and able to fit into a rollercoaster again..

Good luck with everyone!

Hey everyone,

I am a week out from surgery, May 14. I have been on a liquid diet with a lean cuisine at night. I lost 18 pounds in one week!!! I can't wait to see what the scale holds next week. I love the Protein shake from GNC. It is called Go Lean shake and only has 170 calories. YUMMY!

I haven't started my liquid diet yet. Have May 9th pre-op where I will be given my instructions. I am so excited to get this started. I backed out of the bypass surgery 3 years ago. Am glad that I waited so I could have the sleeve.

Have been reading everything that I can find about the surgery. Still can't get the hubbie on the band wagon, but everyone else is as excited as I am.

I have an 8am checkin and surgery should be around 9:30 or 10am.

My wife was the same way. I went to the meeting by myself to learn about the sleeve. Really she has a fear of death, so I understand. I told her "Rather I can chance it now and live for a long healthy life for a long time or I can have all these problems and die sooner." So go Froggylady. Do what has to be done and he will come aboard after he sees how much happier you are. I don't know from experience, but just looking at the pictures of the people who have had the sleeve.

Lolly-

I'm on full Protein shakes, sugar free Jello and pina colada popsicles.... All the broth i have tried makes me gag, it smells so bad..

I just wish i could eat fruit or even veggies..

My hubby made it through 2 days with me and he finally gave up this morning, but he is a typical man and not following the 5 shake a day deal..

It's just really hard with a "normal" size tummy...I pray that after this is done and Protein Shake will fill me up and i won't have the shakes and headache like i'm starving...

Just waxed my car that's how busy i'm trying to keep my brain!

I am afraid of death too but like I told my family, its a lot more likely that I will die from a car accident or from obesity related issues than from the surgery. Its why I took so long and so much effort finding the right surgeon for me. My surgery is in less than three days and I am terrified at times and at other times I am sooooooooooooooo excitedddddddddddddddd! In a way I am glad I have finals at school because it leaves me less time to think about this. Like I told my aunt yesterday (who is thinking of having the surgery next) I know its not going to be easy and I know I am making a huge change in my body and my life, but everything in me tells me its for the best.

Rai I wish I had time to wax my car! My daugther asked me yesterday what I wanted for mothers day (I will be gone for mothers day :-( since my surgery is in Mexico (on Mexican Mothers day!) and I don't return until Sunday. My answer was "I have more than I ever wanted, but it would be awesome if I find a my car clean when I get home!" LOL..... I should had mentioned I would love to have my house clean too but that might be pushing it LOL
