Today is the Day!

[sassygirl055 39]

Well , I am sitting here at 5am on the day of my surgery , still hoping that I am making the right decision ! You see, I love food ! Love parties where you eat two big plates of yummy appetizers , and thanksgiving when you eat till you can't move But, on the other side I hate being fat! I hate how I feel , I hate my joints hurting all the time ! And, I hate not being able to keep up with my basketball star 10yr old daughter ! So, will I miss the food YEP!! But, does the good out weigh the bad ! Most definitely ! Keep all of us getting sleeved today in your prayers!

I feel the same way. I'm pretty sure that the sleeve will help us get through those moments. By Thanksgiving, you'll be eating your Protein first then you'll be able to have a nibble of anything else that you want. You probable wont WANT much more... That's what I'm looking forward to! Good luck today! You'll do great. Update us when you can:)

I went to my doctor's support group on Monday and met a sleeve patient of his who is 10 weeks out. She recounted a couple of incidences where she was tempted by the smell of food (i.e. teacher who had a pizza party) and knew she physically wasn't hungry for the food...and chose not to eat it! I'm amazed at her stories (and those I've read on here) of simply not being hungry; I think that's the biggest hurdle for me! If I'm hungry, I know I overeat. Damn near every time. Having this forced behavior modification of a sleeve will force me to examine whether or not I'm actually hungry, because the effects of eating when you're not, or forcing too much food down a banana-shaped stomach, will end badly. I'm good with that . Surgery tomorrow!!

My surgery is today...feel exactly the same way. I think I am finally at peace with this decision...praying for a great outcome with no complications! Will pray the same for everyone else going through this process. Good luck to you all and keep us posted! My surgery is at 11 today.
