The Real Me

I have my sleeve surgery tomorrow. I have been anxious awaiting the day. I was 255 and this morning weighed 245.4. Up and down my whole life. A bad marriage that lasted longer than it should have. Remarried just over a year and am so ready.

Good for you for making a great decision. I also had a bad marriage that lasted too long. Am now married to the best man ever for 2 years. Since I found him so late in life, I want to be healthy so I can be with him a long time.

Good luck!!

My kids dont know about the surgery. Are with X for visitation. When they come home will fill them in, didnt want to stress them as they are only 10.

Hey doll, I hope all went well with surgery. I had the sleeve on Monday 5/18. Still sore but walking a bit better today. I feel like I am hungry but sure if it's in my head or not. I tried after over a decade of separation with my husband to work it out and wound up feeling stressed and unsupported so I left. I was 263 day of surgery. My kids know something's wrong and I was in hospital and they are supportive but I still feel too embarrassed to tell them the truth about my surgery. It'll get better for us all I believe that. One day at a time step by step. I'm struggling today because I know I low liquid intake and I just don't like Water at all. Not sure what to try to ease hunger and satisfy thirst.

Hi! Better today. Was a bit miserable from being sore and the gas. Drinking better today. Eating some pudding right now. Ate about half in the last hour. I have a wonderful new husband who stayed with me at the hospital. How are you?

Your posts believe it or not are calming and inspiring me, my date is 6/10, I have no reservations about surgery and pre op is going great, but hearing how the "rebirth" starts is really informative and I'm learning things from your post, good luck and keep doing this, you inspire
