  1. Winter clothes dilemma

    So, I'm going through the twice-annual swapping of the seasons in my closet and I'm looking at my winter clothes. I'm currently a 26/3x, and in my head I know that I won't be that size next winter. So in my head, I know I should toss/donate the winter clothes now and not store them for the summer. BUT, for some reason, I'm wanting to hold onto them. Not for nostalgia or anything, but because there is this teeny tiny little voice saying, "but what if you are still in a 3x next winter...you'll ...
  2. 2-week follow up

    Well, I had my two-week follow up with my surgeon yesterday. I don't get their scale - I've lost 7 lbs on my scale since the morning of surgery and a total of 26 since I started the preop diet. By their scale, I only lost 20 lbs since the preop weigh in. I don't think I was wearing 6 lbs of clothes... Eh, I guess it's just 6 lbs - in the grand scheme of 170 I want to lose, 6 is nothing

    He did tell me that I am eating too much at one time. I'm easily eating 5 oz of pureed chicken ...
  3. 10 days post-op

    At the same time I can't believe it's been 10 days since my surgery, and I also can't believe it's ONLY been 10 days since my surgery LOL! I am SO ready to eat food I have to chew!!

    I didn't have any problems coming out of surgery - in fact, very little pain that day and managed to walk 1 mile around the hallway. One of the PCAs told us that 7 laps was one mile, and then I became determined to get in at least one mile - incredibly boring, but yay me!! The next day I guess the anesthesia ...
  4. Finallyl at the point this isn't too bad

    5 days to go til surgery! yay! I ended up starting my "monthly time" two days ago, which explained why my cravings had gone through the roof and made this incredibly hard to stick to. And of course, someone brought in Panera bagels to work that day. Aaarrrggghhh. I almost called my dietician to see if it would really be a problem if I had some bagel, but I got ahold of my senses and realized that pretty soon, that bagel won't be an option at all, and I better learn to deal with it ...
  5. 3rd day on pre-op

    I've read some posts that say this is way harder than after the sleeve, and I hope so ! I started the pre-op 2 days early, and I think I might finally be past the headache stage, but I'm still so hungry and want to eat everything I see, even the things I don't really like, lol. But I've been very good so far, and will not cheat so my liver can be as small as possible for the surgery. I don't want ANY complications or reasons to cancel - at least none that were within my control.
