Hi anewmeahead I am getting sleeved by Dr gellman he works with dr gadaletta on Feb 20. How are you feeling

Thank you!

Baby girl congrats on your pre op weight loss I lost 9lbs so far. I'm getting my sleeve in three days Feb 20 th I'm a bit scared excited etc...

Three more days I'm really freaked!

Sbelle I'll see you there soon lol

I meant pre op lol what about you

My pre open diet consist if three protein shakes, broth, sugar free jello, popsickles, crystal light, water.

I don't have the support of my family they are in Florida I am in NY. My husbands family does not know I have not told them I don't want them to know because they are a bit negative I told a friend of the family who I thought would be supportive and was horrified by her response. I regret telling her anything I ended up telling her I decided not to do it, joined a gym and doing herbalife just to get her off my back. I hate lying to people this is not me, I feel ashamed as if I'm doing something shameful. My sister and friends from Florida support me they will help me get through this. My husband is also my rock he is behind me.!

Thanks ladies I was thinking the worse not sure why he had me on a 14 day diet I'm 5'1 214 lbs. Doc said each practice does it different, different preferences. Doc said I didn't have to do the all clear liquid do three protein shakes, jello, sugar free pops, broth, water, crystal light which I hate so don't do. For the broth I did my homemade veggie soup with tofu, drained it to get protein from veggies and tofu. Those packaged broths only have 1gm of protein.

I'm getting sleeved Feb 20 the just a few days away. I'm starting to freak out, I have to admit I did cheat on the pre open diet and had a small sandwich on Friday I don't know what to do! Did I ruin everything? I am back on protein shakes, jello, tea, water and broth.

I personally believe in God and struggled with this but with prayer and seeking God I know its the right thing to do. My body is the temple of God and we must take care of his temple. Do you think it pleases God to abide in a sick temple how productive and fulfilling can life be if we dont feel good. I know I got Gods blessings on this one. In all honesty who cares what anyone says if you pray to God and have peace in your heart this is the right thing and you have his blessings. Keep seeking him.

Tomorrow is my pre surgical testing appt. Six more days yikes!!!

Where's the support forum?
