May 2013 Sleevers!

[Imsoready2013 14]

Ok, May 7th sleevers, are you ready? I am! I have to be at the hospital at 7am and surgery at 8:30. This was a tough 2 week liquid diet, but I made it. I know it will pay off in the long run.

All prayers going up for all.

May 10 for me, my sister and sis-in-law! They don't know what they have coming! At least we will be a good support for each other.

Tomorrow May 7th for me too! Bit nervous...but I guess that is expected. Quick healing and huge losses are my wishes to everyone!

Bag is packed! Have to be at hospital at 6:30 am. Good luck to everyone who is having surgery tomorrow. New chapter for us! So glad to have this forum. My husband is not happy at all that I am doing this. Hopefully he will come around bc it sure would be better to have his support. My best friend is very supportive, my mom too although she doesn't necessarily think I should be doing this. Once they see my old happy, healthy self I think all will be better!

My date is set for 5/28/13! I am so excited! My highest weight (at 5ft 7 in) was 284. I am currently at 275. I have to be in a wedding this upcoming Saturday, so that has been a good motivation for me to stick to my weight loss and not go banana's about binging on good food. I think one of the most important things to have is a support team. Make sure everyone knows why you are doing this, and support you through the highs and lows.

ok so i am 3 days post op now...missed my connection flight in dallas..so stuck in a hotel and wont be home till tomorrow..aside from this, i am feeling much better.. it doesnt hurt when i drink now and im not feeling as weak. on the plane i got some of that left shoulder pain i read about..not sure if that was due to altitude or my bad luck..seems gone now..in the airport we had dinner vouchers so i ate some Soup but i did ask them to Water it down and strain it...was the best thing i could come up with and it tasted good and went down easy enough..although it looked like i barely touched the bowl. my woulnds are healing nicely but the one where the drain was is still pretty sore..all in all..this surgery wasnt sooo bad but it is definately not a walk in the park..end results willl make it all worth it though..now just let me get home

I'm one week out. It's hard but you just have to look at the outcome. I have already lost 11lbs in one week.

Schedule for May 28th and start my 3 week very low calorie diet tomorrow! I have to say I wasn't overly hungry today but my emotions have been strange I went from extremely happy about life to kind of depressed this evening. I think my battle with food and food funerals are setting in.

Good luck!!!!!!!!!

I have surgery yesterday. I am already home I am doing good the pain is not that bad. But my stomage still look like I am having twins or more. Looks like a balloom. I just went out to walk around my house and felt much better. Doing straigh liquid clear and drinking Water it does hurt once it goes down my stomach. The pain medicine I am making it like powder because otherwise I could not drink it. But I am only taking it once and I while dont really need it that often. When I was at the hospital I did ask every 20 minutes for pain medicine. For those having surgery soon ask for it it help you to relax and sleep and immediatelly relive the pain. I wish the best for those having surgery soon.
