Pre op diet has been a struggle for me at times too. Especially like when the other people in my house can have the food I know I shouldn't eat, but love anyway. I'm grateful it's not a terribly long time til my surgery and I just won't be interested in that kind of food. I just have to keep reminding myself why I chose this in the first place (which honestly isn't that hard). I got into a lot of bad behaviors with food, so I'm having to re-learn healthy eating habits. It's a little hard to imagine life without some foods, but I know it will be better for me in the long run. You'll learn to adjust, it's just hard to do after a lifetime of living a certain way.

Remember that fat cells contain estrogen. When we start using them up, the estrogen is released into the body. Who knows what kind of crap that can cause. Our doc says suddenly people who were not trying became pregnant after being sleeved.

I'm one week post op....... Will I ever stop burping???? I've burped more in the last week than I have in 38 years! Sent from my LG-K540 using BariatricPal mobile app

TY So much for your helpful information...walking right now kills my knees and thighs. But I will try 5-10 minutes a few times a day.

Thanks everyone for your support.

I'm scheduled at 10:30 tomorrow. I had a PICC line inserted today so I have a good line and no repeated needle sticks because I blew my IV site getting up to walk or pee. I want it over. Going to sleep early tonight.

Same here....mine is tomorrow...1pm...wishing you all well! Sent from my VS987 using BariatricPal mobile app

OH, how exciting. I'm one week out and feeling fine! I can't wait until you get to the other side and start the new journey. Good luck.

Congrats on your upcoming surgery! Nerves are so very normal as is excitement for a big life change. I was afraid of failure mainly but also excited by the prospect of the scale finally moving in my favor. If possible attend a support group meeting before surgery. I learned a lot from the vets online & in person. Keep us informed.
