I am scheduled for surgery this Wednesday I'm anxious to lose the weight but afraid of the strict diet restrictions anybody that's had this surgery can you give me any advice and how hard is it to comply with the new food restrictions like my pre-op liquid diet for a week and right now I'm starving

I am so nervous and excited. I started this journey on January 5th so everything has been so quick. I am so ready for this change!! Anyone else having surgery that day? I would like to find a buddy to exchange numbers with.

I have a lot of loose skin already! The best thing that you can do is to work out, and to keep up with the fluids to push the fluids along! Be sure to talk to your surgeon about your fears too!

I doubt you have much with that BMI.

Congratulations! My surgery is scheduled for May 9th. It has been a long process and I am so happy. I wish you a good surgery and speedy recovery!!

BTW, I wore something loose to the hospital and wore it home. IJS

I am scheduled for April 4, best wishes for a successful surgery!

That's terrible to hear! I am in a mind set of not eating that type of food. I've been working hard and cutting out refined sugars little by little. Why would a person do that to their self after going through getting the sleeve? It's a wonderful tool that should not be taken for granted! Sounds like your friend needs to see a doctor and get his/her mind set right regarding food. Sounds like they are eating Oreos in stead of doing what's right for their body and getting that Water in. I hope your friend becomes more aware, successful and feels better!!!! Maybe you're seeing stuff you're not supposed to do. I only hear of complications from people who bring in the same ol'yummy but bad habits back to their selfs. I hope you are stronger than that and prevail! I'm gunna try too! [emoji182]

Thank you everyone!! I'm finally post-op. Wasn't as bad as I imagined at all. I'm feeling pretty okay. Anesthesia has had he sleepy and groggy most of the day. In terms of pain, incision pain in minimal. Just feels like I did lots of push ups. Oh boy, but that has pain is a killer. It really hurts. Walking is the only solution. I've walked every chance I got and I'm going to continue to do that. Also, peeing every 10 minutes! Lol So happy I did this and I'm excited to start this new journey of my like. Thank you all for your kind words, well wishes and encouragement. [emoji173]
