You have changed your diet big time and most likely have shocked your body, I have seen post on this in this forum before - I would seek medical advise something is triggering it

I have only told 2 family members, my mom and my aunt, my dad doesn't even know. I find it easier to tell strangers than it is to tell my own family. They shouldn't judge you or be against you taking care of your health. Wait until you have a date, until you start liquid diet, which I assume you have to be on, I didn't, but in the US, everyone does. It will give you more time, but also more information from your doctors etc. to inform them why this is something you want to do. Good luck, best decission I ever made.

You got this! Be like the little engine that could, instead of "I think I can, I think I can!" Say, "I know I can, I know I can! Finally you will be saying, "I did, I did, I did!" 4 days to go!

Stick with it. The surgery will be that much easier because your liver will shrink. Just had mine on Monday and everything went better than expected. You’ll do great!

Hold on...it only gets worse lol. Lol- I’m joking-but it’s good to mentally prepare yourself prior to surgery because you will have the same challenge after surgery. I promise the cravings don’t go away. If you can tackle the challenge now, it will be a lot easier for you after surgery.

I only told my husband. Not one other person. I am so glad I didn’t tell anyone. I am losing at a rate that no one has questioned I had surgery. I told everyone before I was using fitness pal app. To track my calories and exercise. Started that long before surgery. Anyways, when a friend had the sleeve she lost a lot of weight and did well. I mentioned it to a couple friends about getting the sleeve surgery and it was “oh, you don’t need that..” etc. so I didn’t go for the surgery then it cost me a lot of time. So I didn’t want talked out of it so I didn’t tell anyone. Then after I had it I didn’t want that to be my only conversation with people etc. I am so happy I didn’t tell anyone. If you decide to tell people I would wait until after surgery or right before so no one can change your mind. This was a great experience for me. Hope you have great success and a speedy recovery!

Seriously consider waiting to talk to them until you know for certain your surgery date (unless you want to be talked out of it - if you know thats what they'll do)

And what a Christmas and New Years you are going to have! @Cinde52 I wish you only the best of Everything- You are giving YOURSELF a wonderful GIFT- and you're investing in a more beautiful FUTURE and longer LIFE expectancy. Pretty much a WOW anyway that YOU look at it!😝👍

Absolutely, obnoxiously stinky!!! And I have learned that since surgery I cannot gamble with a fart...., Today I sharted, now I know that is TMI but I just wanna let you know not to take that gamble ! ; )
