From reading just your initial post and no other comments or responses it seems like you weren't quite ready for the commitment of the sleeve. There's nothing wrong with that in a right vs wrong kind of way. However, the toll of that is you and your mentality are a victim of what you think was the biggest mistake of your life. Spoken like a true addict that can't get their fix. I'm not saying this is a derogatory way at all, please don't take it that way, I'm a food addict too! But I think you're going to find the most help by seeing a therapist regularly. If you think something is wrong with your particular sleeve then have that addressed, but you can't live in misery and not try to help yourself. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm on day 5 of the low carb pre-op diet (vs. the liquid diet) but I'm so hungry! I have to do this low carb diet until the 12th, then clear liquids day before surgery and then surgery on the 14th. We are going to make it!!! Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

My surgery is Sept 14th! I'm so excited! How are those pre-op diets coming along everyone? Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm just generally looking forward to not having to think about my body size constantly while trying to eye-ball spaces I need to fit in. This includes, plane seats, toilet stalls, amusement ride seats, booths at restaurants, furniture in general.... the list goes on. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I think it widely varies based on your surgeon. I'm having sleeve on the 14th and I'm simply on a low carb diet. This entails eating nearly any low carb foods you'd like while keeping a goal of reaching at least 70g of protein a day with less than 30g of carbs a day. It's probably not as hard as the all liquid diets I'm hearing about but it's hard because nearly everything has carbs, even foods considered "low carb"! Contact your surgeon's office or dietician to find out details of your particular pre-op diet. I've lost 5 pounds and I'm on day 5 of the pre-op diet! I'm hungry a lot of the time but I'm going to pull through. This will all be so worth it! Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app
