It's Happening! :)

Hello everyone!

I am new here, and thought I would share my journey so far!

I watched my brother-in-law go through the Gastric Sleeve Surgery and process, and decided this is something I wanted to do for myself. I have always been overweight, and I have finally had enough! I am ready for a change:)

I started the whole process on 1/19/13, and my surgery date is finally scheduled for 4/18/13! I started my liquid diet on 4/3/13, two days ago, and I've already lost 5.5lbs! 12 days to go! It's not as bad as I thought it would be! Yes I get hungry and light-headed once and a while, but it doesn't last long. I'm not just completely miserable, which I thought I would be!

I am getting very anxious for surgery! My family has been a HUGE support for me through all of this, and I couldn't do it without them!

It's nice to meet you all, and I am happy I found a place to talk to people that know what I'm going through!

Good luck! I was sleeved on 3-20 and am still adjusting to everything. I have no regrets though!

Best of luck to you. My surgery is set for April 16. I agree taht the liquid diet has not been quite as bad as I thought it would be. My baby sister was sleeved in January - she did not have much trouble after the surgery and has been doing great! She's an inspiration to me.

Well I was sleeved on Tuesday and I must say it has not been too bad. The hospital did a great job of controlling pain. I just mostly slept while at the hospital except when I was walking. I was home Wednesday by 1pm. Still pretty tired so I took it easy. Working on my fluids. Ate a small portion of Greek yogurt this morning. Added a little Protein Powder in it and took tiny bites. Showered this morning to so overall I think everything is going good.
