It seems like everything is coming up so fast. I attended the seminar 3rd week of October this year, the ff week I had my consultation , 2 days after I had my endoscopy, and that same week, I met with my nutritionist. I also had my psych evaluation a week after that. I waited two weeks for the approval. I remember calling the doctor's office regarding pre-cert results almost every day. Then 2 days ago I got my surgery date which is on 11/13. I have a week of liquid diet before the surgery. Now I feel the excitement, apprehension and so much more. I have 5 kids & they are 7 yrs old & younger. I hope the surgery would work for me with no complications. I don't know if Im scared or excited , now that it's going to be less than a week to my surgery . I would just like to know if there's anybody there who went through the same experience. How did you cope up with this many kids after the surgery? I used to eat kids food like chiken nuggets, pizza, mac & cheese, fruit cups etc. we also love to go to buffet or all you can eat restaurants. Is it going to affect my kids nutrition as well? How did you take care of your little kiddos during this time? I also love to drink coffee. Did you drink coffee and eat yogurt during pre-surgery liquid diet? Please I need your advise. Thanks much. :-)

hmm well i stayed on a very strict liquid diet, pre-op, which caused me to lose 16 lbs, & 4 days post-op & currently on a strict liquid diet [or nothing] & im pretty sure ive lost another 10-15 lbs! i have a recently turned 2 year old daughter...& i to ate what she didnt. haha. but you do know that you will NOT be able to lift anything over 5 lbs for 4-6 weeks. i mean talk to your dr about that, maybe everybody is different. but make sure youre gonna have TONS of help, if you have to change diapers that is or anything like lifting into a high chair or whatever. also no bending. this week has been hard for me, because im frustrated due to the fact that i cant do what i want. lol. my daughters birthday party is tomorrow & this week ive been stuck pretty much just supervising the clean up & decorating. also it is very hard the liquid diet thing, especially having to be active for a toddler! so make sure you recruit in some family & friends to help you out mama! im here if you have any questions.

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
    • I'm literally almost crying reading this. Mostly because I'mon this pre-op diet and these last two days have been difficult... but also because I needed this! Thank you! Congrats! And a BIG congrats on quitting smoking a second time! It was hard enough to do it once... So - when I say BIG congrats... I mean BIIIIIG congrats! ❤️
    • Congratulations! What a great journey! Thank you so much for sharing. You are inspiring!
