Thanks all for condolences. We are all in shock, so sudden, so young. Well, tomorrow is sleeve day for me. I have made my Soups (tofu makes a Soup creamy but is protein), bought my drinks, dogs are suspicious as both are wearing collars, cats arent worried so long as they get fed. I am nervous but have all of you as inspiration, so what is my affirmation going in? 'My body is going to love this'. Let you know how I go.

Hi all, i am now 7 hours post op and only lost my dignity, lol. Op a success and as an added bonus repaired an unknown hernia while in the neighborhood! I was really scared pre op and did my meditation breathing and chose to watch the acquarium fish loop rather than tv as following one liilt fish mesmerised me. Full cocktail of drugs in me so only discomfort. Been up once to little girls room. Drew on your support and got teary when parked prior to theatre. Surgeon came in limping and holding his back but very bright and confident. Seems he has done a good job and hospital is good. Might have a nap now. Affirmation, being wheeled into theatre, What makes you think God woulnt set aside a little time to look after you? You are importantto Him too. Thanks for the TLC.

I am so glad you made it to the other side (with or without your dignity).

Yes, you are important to Him and to us, too!

To select an affirmation I look for the most glaring defect in myself and think of how I would like to become.

Since I have a history of incest, one of my favorites is:

"I am safe."

As for my process, I get an empty note book and write the affirmation down and anything else that pops up.

If I have negative self talk, I cross out the negatives and continue to write my affirmation.

I do this until I can write a full page with no negatives.

Then it becomes 'mine' and I say the affirmation to myself out loud while I am walking.

Some of my favorite affirmations are:

I am a beautiful and loving woman.

I am capable and dependable.

I walk in balance and harmony.

People really like to be around me.

I am a healer and a peacemaker.

Today is fabulous.

I always had a lot of regrets about my past, and I carried a heavy load figuratively and literally. I think for many years I felt like I was a walking mistake. My favorite affirmation is: God doesn't make mistakes.

      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.
