I want to start by saying how much I love and appreciate this forum, everyone here has been great at getting me through all of the struggles pre-op and now post-op. I am 9 days post-op and I feel horrible, is this normal? I do not have any energy; I have a hard time even finishing one Protein shake per day. I feel like I am going to vomit when I eat and if I do not eat I vomit; WHEN WILL THIS PHASE PASS? Please someone out there help with your wisdom...

I feel the same; I could really care less if I eat or not. I love the fact that I do not want to eat because it is helping me break my addiction to food.

I am on my way to the surgery center to have my procedure, prayers needed.

God bless everyone here, you always set my mind at ease. I will call my dr tomorrow from the airport and let him know all that is going on this week and last week.

Darkkyss, that does help ease my mind. I hope the dr realizes that life does get in the way at times.

I am supposed to lose 10 and according to my scale l have lost 3. I am guessing pms might account for about 3-4? I am so worried about making it through the business trip with business dinners and lunch. Oh, come on 22nd so I will finally know...

Has anyone had their surgery canceled the day of surgery because they did not lose enough on the pre-op diet? I am afraid that its what is going to happen to me. I have major pms bloating (should start the day of surgery), I am fighting emotional eating and I cannot take my medication that fights that. Needless to say this week has sucked and im sure I will be sent home crying on the 22nd. Oops, I also forgot that I am leaving tomorrow morning for a business trip and will not be home until 7 hours before set surgery...

I cannot seem to stay on my preop diet. I throw up the shakes and out of frustration I eat; will this addiction ever end? If I could exchange broth for shakes I think I would be ok...

I start my pre-op diet on the 8th. Currently I am on the pre pre-op diet, the one that makes me want to stuff my face with everything that I feel I will not be able to enjoy again; am I the only one going through this emotional phase?

I start my pre-op on the 8th, I am so excited and nervous at the same time. I am ready to get my surgery done and feel all of the things I have been reading.

Wasanyone on thisblog diagnosed with a hiatal hernia that needed surgery before thatcould get the sleeve done? If so what were the results?

To hear you all is such a huge help. I do not anyone around me who understands, in fact I am not telling even family I am doing this. I did tell one friend so I will have a ride home after the surgery. I will tell my family after becaue they cant change my mind after the fact.

I just recieved my surgery date, August 22 and I am afraid. I am not afraid of the surgery but of failing after. I am thankful that I found this forum, it has been a god send.
