APRIL 21st Sleevers!

[gettinbacktome 104]

Hey Sabrine. Things are pretty good so far. Waiting for my ultrasound of lower extremities now. After that I'm done.

I'm meeting up with some of ladies this evening that are having the sleeve here in the Chicago area. Kind of a support group. I'm looking forward to meeting them and discussing our journey.

That really nice! How did you all hook up? I tried to make friends at the one nutritional class that was required but nobody was receptive. It would have been nice bc it was all for the same surgeon and three of them were the same day as me.

Anyway. I am going to a bachelorette party tonight. I gotta try to make myself presentable. Of course I've already adopted this feeling of,"great. I'm the only fat girl in our group" but then I realized that won't be the case much longer!! I'm gonna have me some dirty martins and oysters and sushi and kick off my liquid diet right on Monday!!! Have a great night!!

I had put up a Chicago thread. A few said they were interested in meeting up. So I got a location date and time. This afternoon 3 of the 6 said they couldn't make. Being that I am 1 of the last 3 that haven't responded and said they were coming I am goin to still go. If I get another cancel I will just reschedule. I thought it would be nice to get together and talk with others having the sleeve but it may not happen tonight.

Have a great time a the bachelorette party. Martinins and sushi sound awesome!

Hello. I'm Kimberly. I'm not getting a sleeve but I am having a bypass on the 21st. Preop is Tuesday for me

[iagree2shine 52]

For some reason Im in the mood to start my liquid diet one day earlier, which would be tomorrow, to get the feeling of it. And because its a weekend so I could see when Im off.

I was actually thinking of doing the same thing. My liquid diet starts on April 9th, gonna try to start it a day earlier to get a feel for it as well.

GL on ur wls journey!

[gettinbacktome 104]

I know. Starting on the weekend sounds good as well.

[Sboulie 90]

So I have officially started my liquid diet. I've gotten all of my "must haves" out of my system. And truth be told it wasn't that good!

I am so ready to see how the next two weeks go!!

Preop weight: 277

Let's see what I drop by the 21st.

Hi my name is sarah. Im 37 and having the sleeve on the 23. Im divorced with two girls 6 and 8. I havent told my family - we arent close. A few of the ladies at work will help me post op and I am hoping things go smoothly. Seems like its going to take forever before it gets here and I go from being totally nervous n freaked out to just wanting it to be over. I want to start my life - not being fat, and being able to do things more with my girls. Not being tired all the time. Not having everything hurt. The last time I had surgery it didnt go well and long story short my life fell apart. So this is bringing up alot of emotions and anxiety. I am putting all my hopes on this that it will give me a jump start to help me change my life. To help me become better and healthier for my girls but what if I fail at this like I have failed at everything else what if this causes more problems then it helps what if what if lol sorry guys i really dont have anyone to talk to pls im not trying to cause anyone to have doubts I just dont know what to do anymore

[gettinbacktome 104]

Always a labrat it is fine. We are here to support each other. I think a lot of what u are feeling has went thru many our minds. Especially what if we fail. When u tried so many things and nothing works. I decided to commit to do my best. If I fall to get back up and get back on it. I have given up when I fell off. I'm determined to keep moving no matter what obstacle comes.

This may be your time to come to grips with what's been going on to prepare for a brand new beginning.

[always a Labrat 9]

Thats what I want. A brand new beginning and a new healthy me. Thanks for listening

[Sboulie 90]

Hey always...we all have had failures in our lives. It's what brought me to my decision to sleeve. I have 2 kids and hope to succeed for them. I want to be able to be active WITH them.

You can always vent here. I am so happy that I found this site for the support that I lack in my life. We are here for each other.

[Sboulie 90]

So first day of the liquid diet is OVER!! I made it! It wasn't so bad but I definitely got a little moody the last hour the kids were still up. Lol. Do I go for my PST tomorrow and the last appt with the surgeon before the big day. Are there any questions I'm forgetting to ask??? Hope everyone else survived the first day (at least those of us with 2weeks!!)

[gettinbacktome 104]

What Proteins are you drinking?

[Sboulie 90]

So I bought EAS chocolate and it tastes like yoohoo. Not bad. Also bought premiere and it was richer in flavor. I chilled both to the point of frosty chunks and it was pretty good. I also ordered medifast but it doesn't come until Thursday. I'll let you know how it is. How did you do today? Was it your first day?
