June 25th

 3 more days!!! On my 8th day of preop full liquids diet. Has not been as bad as I thought.  The body really can live on very little.  I'm getting nervous!  I'm also tired of being called a light weight. My dr had on my chart morbid obesity!!! I'm 5ft 4 in and weigh 201 as of this morning.  I have diabetes! This is for my health. If I look better in the long wrong that will be a plus. Good luck June sleevers.

 Good luck to you with your surgery!!  Be sure to check in and let us know how you're doing afterwards.  I am 9 days postop and feeling great!  Today is my 47th birthday and the sleeve is going to be the best birthday present I've ever gotten myself.  I told my kids they could float a candle in my protein shake.  It doesn't bother me that I can't eat my 'birthday' meal today.  My kids and I have decided on other things to do to celebrate today.  Finally, I'm learning not everything has to be associated with food.  I'm on 3 weeks of full liquids and haven't had a problem yet.  The couple times I've felt hungry were when I was walking through Walmart to pick up some things for my kids.  But as long as I'm keeping my liquids in me, I don't have physical hunger.  It's amazing how many commercials there are for food items on TV and just everywhere you go.  Just keep sipping and ignore them, the 'hunger' feelings pass quickly.  You'll do great with a positive attitude!  The sleeve is for your health and since it's your health, only you can make the decision about what's best for you.  I had some tell me that I didn't look that heavy.  Looks are deceiving.  I felt heavy for too long.  Good luck!!

Hey there I go in for surgery 2 days after you on the 27th.  I felt calm most the week but still a lil nervous the closer it gets.  I know Im ready tho.  Good luck to you!  Keep us posted on how you're doing. :)
