laughinlove 5 Posted November 27, 2014 Last Thanksgiving as an overweight person. My surgery is Dec8th. 10 days away and it feels so unbelievable that this is for real is going to happen. Started my pre op high Protein, no sugar, very very low carb diet on Monday. It was really hard the first two days but yesterday seemed much easier. Probably had to do with getting the sugar cravings out of my system:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Susan909 52 Posted November 27, 2014 My last holiday before surgery.... Sleeved in 5 days! I'm glad I get to enjoy TG not for the food but to be pain free lol and just enjoy the day. I'm at the park playing with my grand daughter. It's 81 degrees out and we've been bike riding now playing. I am feeling blessed! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Trillium 50 Posted November 27, 2014 Happy Thanksgiving! Guess who's signing up for her first half marathon in June?! Is that a little too optimistic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IslandGirlKat 3 Posted November 28, 2014 I am new to the site but it is SO exciting to see so many people getting sleeved in December! I just got my surgery date, Dec. 17th, and my pre-op appointment and diet start Tuesday. I am super excited, ecstatic, pumped and anxious to leave behind the unhealthy me and start 2015 the right way. I am extremely thankful for support groups such as this as we begin our life changing journeys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IslandGirlKat 3 Posted December 3, 2014 Mentally and physically I feel completely ready for this new phase in my life. I am over being a slave to food. Today was my pre-op appointment and my last meeting with the nutritionist until the 17 when it is time for surgery. The thing is my pre-op diet starts tomorrow and I had this uncontrollable urge to binge on food I won't eat again. Now I feel gross and as if I am starting out a failure because I am not in the right mindset. I know the sleeve is just s tool but I pray it's the tool I need until I work out all the psychological stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Susan909 52 Posted December 3, 2014 On my way to the hospital for my sleeve! Today has finally arrived.... I'm nervous, excited, a little scared even. I have complete confidence that God is going to bring me thru this safely. Praise be to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
