My confessions are PRE sleeve (I only JUST got a consult date!) So I'm sure I'll be back once this process really gets going!

I confess::

1) That I visit this forum WAY too much. One might say I am currently obsessed.

2) I'm scared that the hoops that I have to jump through to get this procedure done will be too much and I won't get sleeved.

3) I'm scared if I get sleeved I will change too much as a person (I like myself on the inside' date=' so I hope I don't change too much) and my hubby, who I am CRAZY in love with wont like the new

Me...

4) I don't want my kids remembering the obese me. I want them to know the fit healthy mom. It's important to me that I become that remodel that they so deserve!

5) I just hope that if/when I have my surgery I have a good outcome without complications.

That it for now, but I'm sure I'll be back! ;-)[/quote']

Pre surgical l am reading vst constantly I want to know every thing

I confess my dh does not know my weight

I confess that I purposely hide food wrappers because I am embarrassed by them

I confess that I can't wait to get the surgery so I can dress like a hochie momma...(and embarrass my kids)

My confessions: (10 days post op)

1. I absolutely abhor/loathe my step-children's biological mother. She is a junkie, lying, self-centered, grown ass woman who hasn't seen her children in 6 years and lives 2.4 miles away. Maybe my lack of understanding WHY makes me feel this way and I hate watching what they go through.

It really felt good to put that somewhere and this is cheaper than therapy.

2. My DH doesn't know my weight.

3. I took "before" pics and they are the first pictures I have been in, in years.

4. I like my 2 dogs more than most people. They don't judge or talk.

5. My DH was more nervous about my surgery in MX than I was. I ALLOWED him to go to put his mind at ease, not because I wanted him to.

Don't judge me....I didn't want to reassure him that I was okay while he had a meltdown. Lmao

6. I love PB2.

I'll be back for more....

I confess that I can no longer tolerate my Protein drinks...they currently make me barf...so I'm not getting all my Protein in.

I confess that I have started eating a met-rx protein plus bar (30 gr protein, 3 gr sugar, 310 calories) against the advice of my NUT

I confess I usually only get 4-5 glasses of Water down on a good day

I confess I am happy about my 58lbs loss

I confess I am glad to be 11 weeks post op.

4. I confess that I am afraid that I won't make it to goal.

5. I confess that the cheeseburger thread really made me want one! Lol

6. I confess that nothing tastes as good as it looks and I am sometimes disappointed by how little I can eat.

I find this funny because I have been hooked on food Network for years & now my husband (who hates it) constantly asks me how I can watch it since alot of the stuff I cant eat anymore. I even watched it right after surgery during my "liquid" phase. But I love to cook & try new recipes & you can get healthy food ideas from there. We even had a chicken salad lettuce wrap recipe off of Food Network the other night for dinner. It was yummy AND healthy.

I confess I am 7 wks out and love my plication.

Oops lol I confess I don't track food

Like I should, but I always measure. I confess that I am excited about what's to come but nervous in the same breath. I confess that I love my family, my kids r in bed, my husband is working, and I feel like the loneliest girl in the world tonight. Hormone change or denied reality?

I confess that I'm afraid to be thin, it's an unknown thing.

I confess I am afraid that my marriage will change.

I confess that I constantly feel like I will fail and not lose/ gain it back.

I confess that I'm looking forward to getting some positive attention.

I confess that I'm not trying hard pre-op to lose weight before surgery. I hate this fact.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
