Hey, girl. How are you doing? I started throwing up everything I ate yesterday. Same today. It's making me so weak! I had a little bit of ice cream, just for the calories, and it stayed down. I've almost completely stopped my insulin. The swelling in my legs and ankles is gone. I had a lot of energy last week, but since I can't keep food down, this week I'm tired. I took out some stitches the other day. One incision opened up, so I'm babying it. Since I'm diabetic, the nurse told me to wait until 14 days out to take out the stitches. I jumped the gun a little. I think I'm losing weight too fast, averaging 1.5 pounds a day. Maybe if I include a little sherbet everyday, it will slow down a little. Well, gotta get going. Keep in touch.

Hope you're doing well.

Shonie you were not kidding about the first day! I am feeling a littel better every day

Many blessings for a great surgery and fast recovery!!!

The reason my preop diet was so long is due to my high BMI and I believe I will be staying at the hotel because my mom is going with me.

Welcome to the forum! I hope you will find answers to your questions and comfort in knowing you are not alone in your journey. I had the sleeve 3 weeks ago and have found the support from this group of people priceless. No question is stupid, chances are if you are wondering about something so is somebody else. Do not let anyone tell you you are taking the easy way out because you are not. This a decision that will affect you for the rest of your life. You will learn alot about yourself and wonder how you could have lived any other way but better. Best Wishes

Hello! I have a little over a month to go! I am so excited! Before joining this group I was scared to death. I have almost no support from family and friends. My partner of 7 years even threatened to leave me if I went threw with this. And I thought about it, then I scheduled my surgery 20 minutes later! My weight has always been an issue, I am only 15 pounds heavier than I was in the 7th grade, and had a weight problem at the age of 3! I've heard that I am taking the easy way out. To me It feels like the only way, and nothing seems easy about this. I have decided to jump off the diet roller coaster and start my new life! I would like to meet new people This is new to me and not sure what to expect afterward.
Thanks for taking the time to read and best of luck to you on your journey !
