Thank you! I got approved and actually just had my surgery on May 28th! Down 30 pounds from pre-op diet to now

I just did my pre-op today too! May 28th here we come!!

Oh wow! If only that we're my situation lol. Awesome job on your success btw!

Seriously thank you all so much. This made me feel alot better.

The 28th!

I was in the same situation. I HATE cooking too so that doesn't help. Hopefully that's something I eventually start to enjoy! I'm curious to see what my dr says about my pre sleeved stomach when he's in there.

I'm on a 2 week all liquid diet. I have 2 jobs and just recently quit the 3rd so I think all the working I've been doing has just made me really weak. I've just felt shaky a lot of the time. I haven't eaten fast food at all or had any soda or calorie filled drinks but I definitely haven't followed the diet to a T. I have little bites of stuff here and there. A piece of a banana, spoonful of Peanut Butter, a slice of deli meat. The craziest was the fried rice. It was homemade so it wasn't too bad for me but still, that's no excuse. What's your diet like and when's your surgery date?

I guess I'm really not giving myself that much credit. I haven't had any soda or sweet tea this whole time. That's a plus I guess, lol.

At sticking to this pre-op diet. I'm seriously losing my mind over here. It's not necessarily the diet but it's all this **** I'm having to deal with right now on top of the diet (personal life issues, preparing for surgery, paying bills before surgery, etc.) I just keep cheating and feeling horrible, cheating and feeling horrible. I don't understand why I can't just stick to it! I crack under pressure a lot and the stress I'm having to deal with is really getting to me. Oh not to mention I'm PMSing. My boyfriend hates me right now, I've been such a b***h! I just want this surgery to be over with but then at the same time I'm having second thoughts. I'm worried I'm gonna be one of those people that just constantly pushes the limit on food. Ugh I shouldn't even be thinking like this. I DON'T want to be like this. I just have no willpower and it just makes me depressed. Honestly I don't care if I'm fat, I've never had a problem with how I look. I'm getting this surgery for my health. I feel like I should mean more to me and I should take this diet more seriously but yet I just ate fried rice on Sunday. I feel pathetic right now :/ Jeez that was long and I could just keep going! So many thoughts running through my head, May 28th can't come soon enough! Thank you to anyone who actually takes the time to read this.

My surgery date is May 28th, will I be able to drive by the 31st?

Awesome job! You give me hope

When was your surgery? And congrats!

I'm 332 and my surgery date is may 28th! I was starting to feel like a whale seeing people who are 180 and wanting the surgery lol!

I'm also from Texas and my surgery date is May 28th, I do have family here that's supportive but it would be great if I actually knew people who were going through the same thing. What part of Texas are you from if you don't mind me asking? Lol we should join a support group!

I ironically started my pre-op diet today in the hopes that everything would go smoothly with the approval and my surgery date would be May 28th, and guess what?! I got my approval TODAY! I'm so excited, nervous, anxious, stressed, but mainly excited! I'm so ready for this new change. On a side note: Is it weird that right when I found out about the approval my first thought was to Celebrate by going out to dinner with the bf...? Lol old habits die hard I guess! but I DID NOT go out to dinner!
