It's Friday so I wore jeans to work today and as I walk down the hall all I can hear is swish, swish, swish..........I will be so happy when I can walk down the hall and not have the noisy darn sound of my FAT thighs rubbing together ughhhhhhhhhhhh!!

Monday April 14th won't come fast enough I'm so ready to be sleeved!

It gets better, honest. If you work your sleeve, I mean really use it to it's full potential you will get rid of that sound in no time. I will be your biggest cheerleader, and do everything I can to help you stay motivated! It's worth every struggle, and every effort you put into the process.

Keep going @@CurvyCakes

I'm preop too... my date is May! I am converting to sleeve after failed gastric band. I scared of yet another surgery, but just want to get it done.

I had a band for 10 years. It took me time at the beginning to get down to a normal BMI... then it was great and I was maintaining :) (albeit with a lot of hard work!). Then the band failed mechanically, and I had to have it removed, and put the weight back on til obese BMI again :( and now I'm preop for gastric sleeve.

I see ur big day is right behind mines. I think we all have our fears be it the initial WLS or revision. Wishing u much success becoming a sleever we will both be on the losing team racing towards a normal BMI soon.

I am 10.5 months out and the other day while wearing a dress, I actually felt a cold breeze around my girly bits. I realized that my fat thighs weren't blocking my nether regions anymore when I walk. So bizarre!

      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.
