Gastric sleeve

[grandmaofone 411]

I'm scheduled for 7th Aug! I'm so excited but hate telling people I'm having my surgery. Everyone is so negative about it, most people believe I don't need it and I'm too young. I'm 21, 244lbs and 5ft7 and self paid. It's so hard to help others understand how I feel about myself when nobody wants to listen, has anyone else been in this boat? I'm on jelly and clear Soup diet and my 1st day has gone great ????x

i completely understand!!! Everyone told me to get up and moving and the weight would come off, but it came back on just as easy. I had me surgery on June 15, and altogether I have lost 46 lbs and it feel so much easier to get moving and going. I have so much energy!!! My house is always clean(which is amazing as I run a home daycare) and I also walk about 3-4 miles a day. Before I could walk to the mailbox and be winded! So, take this step and be proud of your self for bettering you and take this time to focus on you and what your "new" you will be????????

Gosh you have done so well! Well done! ????I only hope I feel the way you do afterwards! Everyone says don't lose your 'sparkle' and I know in myself I won't but all you want is that support around you which I can't find! Thank you for your reply!

I really didn't tell that many people. Told my hubby and my sister and a couple of girls at work. We used to do the diff diets together and fail each time.one was pretty awesome about it but the other one gave me a lecture. How i didn't need it and can do it by myself. She had just started another liquid diet and asked me to join her. Well that failed 3 days later Bec we couldn't keep up. Any way, i went back to work after being out for a month after surgery and 20lbs down. Looked so good. Felt even better. And every one wanted to know what i was doing. My response was diet and exercising 5 days a week.which i really do. Am so happy at this point that i really think I'll tell anyone who really wants to know..

@@englandgirlsleever, the only person you need to convince is you. Don't worry yourself about what people have to say, some of them just wished they could afford it. So the best of luck to you my sleeve sister.
