I guess I just said vain because my goal is to eliminate health issues, and live longer. Not to look cute in a bikini, ya know?

Lol I'm sorry I don't know because I want to be healthy but for damn sure I want to look better and feel better about myself. Though I'm not aiming for a bikini, as sexy little one piece wouldn't hurt.

Curvy you are young.....I think you will bounce back...I've seen people twice your age that don't look to bad...don't worry honey you have many years to tone up....take care and good luck

Thanks guys! I'm 21 so I think my age with do me well however my arms are rather large so I'm super concerned about that area. I know my legs will be fine I'm curvy so not to much fat just in the stomach area. I've heard massages help I'm not sure how but I've seen some pretty successful people that's proven that. I'll do whatever it takes and I think that will take me a long way.

No I haven't had the procedure yet however I will be sleeved on the 24th of March! I literally have a couple of things left to do then I will be able to just focus on the date. I haven't picked out a specific weight but I wouldn't want to go under 150 because I'm curvy. I'm 5'7 so I don't want to be too skinny. I'm mixed so I think I'll still have my curves but ill just have to see as I go. You?

150 sounds great. What's left to do? Do you think you're ready for all the stuff that comes with the surgery? I'm slightly afraid of the pain.

Okay so I have to go for a group class to get some info for pre and post op diet and pay the $600 program fee. I think for the most part I'm mentally and physically ready but I don't think that's an experience you can be fully prepared for because of various reasons. The biggest reason is you won't know fully until you've been through it. As far as the pain goes my surgeon has said she will put a bulb with numbing meds in my largest incision. I'm not sure exactly how to explain it to you but everyone said it has helped tremendously and they use less oral pain meds.

I'm just hoping for the best and if push comes to shove I will just have to have to evaluate at that point.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
