Whoop whoop January 14

[Blue Star Mom 13]

The 8th is almost here! I am excited for all of us!! I am doing the "nervous / anxiety" type stuff right now - like cleaning my room, closet, bathroom (want it all to be comfortable for me when I get back from hospital). Organizing like crazy - reminds me of when I nested before my kids were born...lol - I guess this the new "birth" - just delivering a stomach instead of a baby...lol!!!!

LOL Im doing the same thing! I'm so anxious I'm not even hungry.

My supervisor was already freaking all week about my LOA. No one else can really cover my accounts but her. I think she's also a little jealous judging by comments she made when I told her about the surgery.

[Tbaby 27]

I agree. I am doing the same today. Making sure everything is done so I can come home and recover

Me too cleaning house and about to make up my sugar free jello! Speedy Recovery to you all!

_{This is my first post. I will be sleeved on Tuesday, January 8, 2013. I feel well prepared and am not nervous but excited. My surgery is covered by insurance and having it performed by Dr. Eagon, St. Louis Missouri. I am down 11 pounds from my October 2012 appointment. I am using fitbit one to track my sleep, exercise, and calories in and out. I found Propel Water to be amazing. I'm not much of a Water drinker and finding this water has been a key to helping me get my fluids in. I will drink my first New whey liquid Protein to see how I like it. It has 42 gms of protien, 0 grams of sugar, 2 grams of carbs in 3.8 oz of Fluid. I'm having difficulty finding out how to post from my ipad/iphone app. I can see all posts and did reinstall the app in portrait. I have told a handful of people that I am having this surgery but am reluctant to share with most as I'm a bit embarrassed that I couldn't lose this weight on my own and am not looking for anyone's negative opinions about the surgery. Preop weight: 241 Goal: 150}

_{I am committed to following all the rules post op and jumping around on my calories in so that I can "trick" my body into not stalling much. I have enjoyed reading everyone's posts and journeys as it has helped me develop my own plan as I get ready to be sleeved. Thank you EVERYONE!! I would like to buddy up with a woman who was sleeved in 2012 and weighed approx. 240 pounds pre-sleeve and would share this journey with me.}

_{Welcome..you will like it here. I don't comment a lot but the information I get from reading the posts is a wonderful help to me. I will be sleeved tomorrow at 730 am. I don't know what I feel right now. Part of me is playing super mom and wife trying to get the house in order and getting the kids stuff together for school. Sometimes I am nervous and sometimes I'm excited and sometimes I feel emotionless. Crazy huh? I'm at 255 and I am hoping to get to 150 too..dr says I need to be at 130 based on my height. Good luck on the 8th:)}

Sarah - Let's stay connected as closely as we can. I'm not sure how to do this on this forum but I think we can be great support for one another. Good luck tomorrow! All will be fine. If you know how to follow each other. I am happy to give you my email address privately and phone. However, I don't even know how to do that.

I'm going in on the 8th too. I thought I would be nervous (or at least should be) but I'm just the oposite. I can't wait to get this going. I want to really drop as much as I can before summer. There are so many thing I want to do!!!

My surgery weight will be around 338 or so. I'm on a 2 week pre-op diet and have lost about 10 lbs so far.

Good luck to you.

Sarah

January 30th - I "think" I'm ready. =] I'm very anxious to find out what's on the other side and so I hope I'm as successful as so many I've read about on this site. Good luck to all!

I am being sleeved on the 8th too!! My weight as of today is 249 - so very close to your weight! My doc wants me at 130 - I will be happy to be 150 again!! Tomorrow I will be on clear only liquids all day until midnight, when I stop everything to prepare for surgery! So today, I am enjoying the full-liquid diet - including Tomato Soup for dinner... it's the little things really :-)! Good luck with your surgery - I look forward to seeing your progress and hearing how things go with you!

The support from thus group is wonderful. i was sleeved on 1/3/13... home and feeling much better. my first day/night i must admit was pretty bad, but today i am home and feeling much better. From the thread looks like there will be many being sleeved this week. Sending my thoughts, prayers and hugs your way. I still can't believe I did it, but know it is for the best. I am now ready for 2013 )
