mytime2shine 229 Posted June 10, 2013 sleeping is a little uncomfortable but have found sleeping in a recliner to be much easier for me. Getting all req liquids down is rough. Aside from that and abdominal soreness, doing pretty good. Feeling a little better each day. 2 Caaattt and getlownurse reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

busybeingme 112 Posted June 10, 2013 Before pictures:::: make sure everyone takes before shots!! Trust me!! You will have days that you feel that your not losing, your bad days... Look at that before shot and it will help you remember!! This is my second go around..( so to speak) I've list 36 lbs since my first appt with my doc in dec... The 19th is fast approaching and ill say that I'm more nervous this time around. My biggest fear is to wake from surgery and it could not have been done again for the second time. ( first time was due to a mass on my stomach) so this is all a second chance for me... The surgery saved my life once and now it's time to go again. I have a friend who is having the sleeve in the same day, same doc. We are sleeve buddies! Looking forward to the other side if the sleeve! 1 getlownurse reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoiaRox 430 Posted June 10, 2013 Along with pictures, measure yourself as well! I took my before shots in capri yoga pants and a tank top (don't own a sports bra) and started an Excel spreadsheet on my computer for measurements (i.e. bust, thigh, waist, neck, etc.). I know there will be times the scale may not be moving, but the inches lost will! Definitely excited to have "after" and "during" pictures to show off someday! 2 Caaattt and getlownurse reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
