Surgery was 11/29/12 and everything went smoothly. I'm down about 50 pounds and I haven't done much with excercising. I don't have time between school, work and family. I found that if I park further way from the door, take the stairs and walk during break and lunch, I'm doing more than before. It's not much but it's a start. I can't tell you how exciting it is to put a clothes that are too big now or the compliments on how I look. Sure I'm no where near my goal but I'm at my goal that I set.

It' was a tough first day but since I've been home, I feel 100% better. I'll be honest I had a few regrets but the pain is going away and I'm learning when and how much to eat. I lost 25 pounds in the pre op diet. Can't wait for my appointment next week to see where I'm at now. I didn't buy a scale, I don't think I could take the pressure.
Good luck everyone! I appreciate all the support, you are a great group!

Although the process happened quickly for me, it's hard to believe 4 days from now, I'll be sleeved. I struggled a bit with the pre op diet, nothing major a bite here or there. I find the challenge is cooking dinner for the family. Proud that I don't need a plate of food, one bite and I'm able to walk away. Promised myself that no more one bites, so far so good today. My wonderful husband is making dinner tonight and I'm going for a walk while they eat. That's one way I can fight the temptation.

Three days into the pre-op and I lost 7.8 pounds! I found that I can't eat broth, hate the taste and the after taste it leaves. It's fine for now to skip it but what will I do when I'm on clear liquids only. Started increasing my workout and I'm feeling good. 13 days until I'm sleeved! Best Christmas gift I could give myself. Good luck to everyone on their journey!
