August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?

[IMSKINNY 160]

I had a slight breakdown this morning! I was getting ready for work and just started crying my eyes out! It's not that I'm scared.... Okay, maybe a little, but I think my biggest fear is failure once again. What if it doesn't work for me? This seems like such a last ditch effort and I don't want to screw this up! Anybody feeling my pain out there?

[pdog 51]

Good job JLOR!

For the liquid diet did anything help you keep your mind off being hungry and grouchy?? I haven't started mine yet but trying to prepare. I was thinking maybe getting some craft stuff so I can keep myself busy. I am a stay at home mom and tend to be exhausted and grouchy already! Hehe.

I took a nap every afternoon to avoid sitting around eating...

[Bethany 10]

I think you wouldn't be human if you didn't have mixed emotions about this from time to time. I know I get scared...mostly that I could die during surgery but I think everyone has their fears especially the closer it gets to time.

Even if you eat foods you shouldn't your stomach will only be able to hold like 3 oz. so I don't think it is likely you'll fail. Good luck!!

I'm scared of failure as well. I feel so much pressure and while I love my husband dearly I know he will be the first one to say "I told you so" if I fail. He's against this surgery.

I keep telling myself that even if I only lose 50lbs it is still going to add years to my life. Even if I gain some of what .i lose back I can't possibly gain it all back.

I am determined to do my best every single day. I have already changed my health and eating habits and I will continue to do so every sinlge day. I will succeed even if the number on the scale isn't what I have to use to determine my success, and so will you.

IMSKINNY!

I am in the same boat. I'm a band to sleeve revision and I feel sick to my stomach! I thought the band was fool proof...well, apparently this fool screwed it up!!

My nerves are on HIGH. I fly down to Palm Springs, CA (we have a home there) on Wednesday evening. The next day my husband and I are driving to San Diego and meeting our driver to head over the border. I will stay the night in a hotel in TJ Thursday night and then have my surgery Friday! Ah!!! I am so

Scared! My husband does not understand...and no one in my family is heavy (including my husband) and so I feel alone. I have a great friend I met on here in June and she has

Been my main source of

Support! I am soooooooooooo grateful for her!!!!!!!!

Will be praying for you and all the other August sleevers as well...BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!

Love,

Erika

My prayers are with you. Be strong stay encouraged. Prove the nay Sayers wrong and yourself right. My husband is fit and doesn't understand my struggle but he's supporting me now. He doesn't agree but he's with me. We can all do it. Let's stay positive and encouraged. I'm scared as H E double hockey sticks but I'm more afraid of what my life will be if I continue down this road.

God bless us all!!

OK this is my first time on this site... I am being Sleeved on Aug 27th Today I started the first day of liquid diet leading up to my surgery! I have been having mobility issues and I hope by loosing significant weight that I will be able to get around a little better! I need to be able to keep up with my Grandson who is 17 months old! I wanted to get this surgery done earlier in the Summer but by the time I jumped through all the insurance hoops I got a late Summer date!

[IMSKINNY 160]

Thanks guys for the support! I do appreciate it! My assistant is out having a baby, so she called this morning when I was crying to check on me. She heard me sobbing and said, 'Oh, no you don't ! You've wanted this too long to doubt yourself now! Pull your big girl panties up and let's do this!' That's pretty much what I told her when she called me crying during labor from her hospital bed! So, I offer the same advice to all of us - let's pull the big girl panties up and get through this! The rest of it (how much will I lose, will I be successful, etc.) can wait until the surgery is done!

[Ready4success 380]

For everyone starting their pre-op diets this week, we can do it!!!! I start tomorrow, so I'll see how I'm feeling after an entire day of just liquids, lol. Counting down the days until I get sleeved!!!!

Good job JLOR!

For the liquid diet did anything help you keep your mind off being hungry and grouchy?? I haven't started mine yet but trying to prepare. I was thinking maybe getting some craft stuff so I can keep myself busy. I am a stay at home mom and tend to be exhausted and grouchy already! Hehe.

I have been reading more to keep my mind off the hunger but really just make sure to drink all the time. It helps keep the hunger away. But I can see how hard it would b if I was home all the time. Thank God I have to go ti work.

I need to sign up for my fitness pal. I am not good with apps though. Is it a pain to use?

[mczoo33 72]

Best wishes to all having surgery tomorrow and bless the doctors and surgeons to have steady hands and know all to do to give the best care....
