  1. I felt the same way and my doctor told me if i had to eat anything to make sure it was cream of chicken or a yogurt. Also, i am diabetic, so going without food was a no-no for me. i still was able to loss almost 17 pounds before my surgery. I only needed the soup for day 2, 3, and 4...........and back to the liquids again. You should do fine. Don't give up and good luck.
  2. You will do well. You have already made the big decision to lose the weight and is headed in the right direction. I was once in your shoes. As a matter of fact, I resented getting my sleeve until 3 weeks post-op. Once I saw I was able to eat smaller portions and the weight start falling......I knew then it was the best decision I have ever made in regards to myself. I am a bread lover and now I am able to look at it and move on. My head is strong on losing my weight. The best advice I can give anyone is to plan your meals, make healthy choices and to drink plenty of water and liquids. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  3. Unjury was great. I had no after-taste.
  4. I am 8 days post-op and it has been a struggle for me, as well. I questioned myself every day.........every day. I do agree with ebthompson2010, the 3rd and 4th box was aweful for me. Hell, everyday after that was horrible. On day 5, my incisions were infected, day 6 I was back in ER because I was dehydrated and my largest incision developed a pus like bubble on top of it. i had to complete a CT scan with contrast. Trying to explain to the nurses I can not drink the entire contrast was a waste of time. Most of them have not heard of a WLS Sleeve Surgury. Day 7, I experienced a low grade fever most of the day, so back to ER I go until day 8, which is today. I fill better today than the last 5 or 6 days. So, yes, I questioned myself did I make the best decision and I'm still pondering. I'm so frustrated!!!
  5. Mellymama, My surgery went fine. I had pain the first day, but I am mostly sore. I trying to stay on target with my fluids. I am on 1 week of Clear Liquids and after that, I will be on a full liquid diet for a week, as well. I will be visiting with my doctor on Tuesday. I will keep you posted as i continue with my weight loss journey. Sha
  6. You are not alone in this battle. Your thoughts were also my thoughts. I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning and I am questioning myself, as well. However, when it is done, I know I will not regret my decision to have this surgery.
  7. Continue to hang in there. You are working toward a greater prize.......a new YOU! Today makes day 11 for me. It actually got better and now I have to force myself to drink my fluids. I am not hungry at all.
  8. You're excited and I do understand how it feels to wait on an answer. However, continue to hang in there. Hopefully, you will hear something soon.
  9. Weight watchers seem to produce a better scale. I had mines for almost 10 years and still give accurate numbers. Wal-mart sells them for $29.99 - $44.99.
  10. All of you are very encouraging. I am due for surgery on Wednesday, August 8, and I am so scared. I had thoughts of backing out. However, when reality sinks in, I know I need this surgery in order to live a healthy life.
  11. Hello future sleevers, My surgery date is August 8, 2012, and I am sooooo happy, but also nervous.
