It's happening!

It feels great when you can start focusing on all the preparation and details. Makes the big picture seem less daunting and let's you just be excited. It sounds like you have a nice trip planned. Hopefully you'll be feeling pretty okay by the time you are back in San Diego for that extra day. You definitely won't want to do anything too intense. I stayed an extra night in San Diego on my way home out of necessity. None of the flights back to my home town left late enough in the day for the OCC shuttle to get me to the airport. So I had to stay at the Holiday Inn near the airport and take THEIR shuttle the next morning to catch an early flight. I honestly don't know how much sightseeing I would have been up for. I just hung out in my room and took a couple naps. I did sit outside for a little while, because the weather was amazing.

My boyfriend of 5 years just broke up with me. Via Facebook chat.

I'm a bit weirded out. I don't really feel anything. I think I didn't want to admit it to myself, but I secretely wanted the same thing. The whole thing just left me indifferent. Like "Oh, ok. Cool. We'll do that, then".

Honestly, I think it's really for the best. I read so much about how many people get divorced after WLS because it changes you so much; I think a clean slate is what I need. I'll be going through a huge transition soon, one of the biggest, most drastic changes in my life. Being by myself to figure out who I really am will be beneficial.

I'm a bit sad to finish this chapter of my life, but I'm happy to begin the new one. It's going to be so refreshing, and so much better. I'm ready.

Thanks for the heads up. We definitely did the right thing when we decided not to buy the tour tickets right away, then. I'll wait til then and see how I feel.

It sounds like the break-up is a good thing. Who breaks up on Facebook after FIVE YEARS together? Jeez!

I agree that a clean slate is what you need. You have a whole new life ahead of you now post-VSG. It sounds like you have a supportive family with your mom coming with you. So you have all you need to be successful and now you are going to be free of just your excess body weight. You are going to be free of the dead weight of your ex!

Right? I was surprised too. I never expected that from him; kinda disappointing. But hey, it's fine. I love the idea of an entirely clean slate to start from. At first I was a bit mad that he waited until I took a 10K$ loan before ditching me, but now I realize that I would've postponed the surgery indefinitely otherwise.

I'm switching my life around. Gonna lose the weight, learn to be by myself and relax, for a while. It'll do me good.

Hello Everyone! I am so glad that I stumbled across this app. It feels good to know that I'm not alone on this sleeve journey. Like some of you, I've struggled with my weight pretty much all of my life. Currently, I am the biggest that I've ever been, 340lbs Yikes ! I decided to do the surgery after I managed to gain an additional 40lbs, after losing 30lbs. It has been a losing battle for me when it comes to weight loss. I know the surgery is not a solution for weight loss, but more of an aid to a healthier and happier lifestyle. My surgery isn't scheduled until September :-/ because of my insurance I have to wait 6months before having it done. It's good in a sense to get me better prepared for a complete lifestyle change, however, I am super anxious to get it done. I can't wait to have a normal life where I can tie my shoe laces again lol. Oh the little things!

Had a less than stellar day today.

• Discovered that the brand of Multivitamins I picked made me extremely nauseous.
• Confirmed this last night when I took a double dose (forgot to take them at lunch) and spent the night up, and an hour hugging the toilet bowl later on.
• Managed to get a bit of rest, tried to play it safe and only drank my shakes for breakfast/lunch.
• Had a fight with my now ex, which triggered bingeing urges. I tried to fight them for a good hour-hour and a half, ended up giving in and eating a huge poutine.

I'm very disappointed in myself. I need to start working on those urges, I can't afford those anymore. I need to find another way to vent my emotions when I'm upset.

Tomorrow is a new day. I'll do better. I promise.

I wouldn't double up on Vitamins if you miss one. As you learned, that can be unpleasant and you won't get full absorption that way anyway. All you can do now is get back on the wagon. It sucks that you cheated withcarbs, because now you'll have to enter ketosis all over again. Not fun!

Live and learn, I guess. Not proud, but I'll know better now.

Yep its all a learning curve hun don't let one slip get you down cuz there will probably be 5 more before your journey is over you are learning and adjusting to a whole new life so get up dust yourself off and get back on track no pain no gain

[DirtyyMelodies 47]

People really weren't kidding when they said pre-op sucked! Man oh man... I've been really good for the past three days, and today I started feeling extremely weak and dizzy -- to the point I chose to stay home because I didn't feel safe driving my car. Gonna write an e-mail to my NUT tonight. I feel like I may be lacking electrolytes.

Can't wait to get sleeved so the hunger pains go away!

[mizzzzzzT 80]

Maybe try sugar free gum I find it helps a ton as well as start your multi Vitamin it will help with energy. Also a solid 8 hours sleep every night if possible
