I had surgery this Monday and there is no way possible that I would consider food not approved by my Doctor. The last four days of gas pain was reason enough for me! Not to mention that swallow test with the Xray. I made the decision to have surgery to knowing the risks and sacrifice necessary to be successful. It would be grossly counterproductive to cheat myself now. Not preaching, just saying!

I had a Twinkie.
Lol I am totally kidding. Just wanted to stir the pot. Hhhhhhmmmm twinkies

I really didn't know what happened, first time I'm posting, sorry! I have looked at stories for months and finally decided to post something of my own! I got my surgery date finalized today. I'm both ecstatic and terrified, but I am sure that this is the best decision of my life. MY DATE IS JUNE 10. I cant wait to be on the losers bench :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

My husband is 6'1" and weighs 185. If he doesn't eat 4000 calories a day, he drops weight. He is perfectly healthy and is living, breathing proof that life is totally unfair! I am fascinated to watch someone blessed to have that metabolism. I don't resent him. It is such a true struggle for him to eat enough that sometimes I even feel the tiniest bit sorry for him. But only a teeny tiny bit.

Oh my goodness. It's like heaven on a plate. Its a deep fried homemade eggroll mized with onion and baby back rib meat, pulled pork, cheddar cheese and bbq sauce..
So so so good.

I went out to dinner with my boyfriend today (this is not the frustrating part, lol). He ordered half a dozen garlic rolls smothered in butter, rib rolls, full rack of ribs, and a brownie sundae. Oh, and 4 refills of his coke.
I had half of a mahi sandwich without the bread and maybe a tablespoon of black Beans.
Since I was done much earlier than him, I sat there and essentially watched him eat. At one point, just as a morsel of BBQ Sauce started dripping down the side of his mouth, I felt a really strong urge to smack the ribs out of his hand and yell SSSTOOOOPPPPP EATINGGGGGG!!!! I mean, seriously. He INHALES his food. I could swear that sometimes he doesn't even chew it. It's really unattractive to see him eat so much. Does anyone else feel this way? Am I a horrible girlfriend? Lol
Oh, and as I write this, he just went to the kitchen for a "tiny snack". Smh
I know he doesn't order so much delicious food on purpose. He's a big guy (6'3" and maybe 220lbs) so I understand he won't be satisfied with a Caesar salad. But c'mon.
Let me say one more thing: I have no desire to eat any of the stuff that he ordered. I was perfectly happy with my sandwich. but ordering and eating all that food?? Does anybody else get frustrated/annoyed/disgusted when watching people eat unhealthy food? Is it just me?

My first post ever, been reading for weeks, but finally ready to post! My date and friends date is June 7 in Mexico. Today is first day of preop diet. 3 Protein Shakes a day with light dinner. 3 days out only liquid. So So nervous, can relate to all of you, but so so excited to start the rest of my life healthier. I think that's what keeps me from bolting for sure. Anyone else being sleeved in Mexico in June?

Hi, I'm 10th June too, very excited, it's getting really close now. Do you have a pre op diet to follow ?

I just got my insurance approval. Surgery date will be June 26!

I am in day 2 of my preop diet. It really has not been bad. I have been eating sugar free Popsicles, sugar free pudding, creamed Soups (cream of chicken tastes like a pot pie to me). I have also kept myself busy to keep from thinking about food. Tomorrow will probably be a different story. I have a faculty luncheon to go to:-/ this is probably where I will lose it!

Thank you !! I was just reading yours good luck to you too

I have to do it for three weeks :/ I can't believe it! I start next week so I will be watching this thread for suggestions. Good luck!

Thanks Shaonintx for answering my question. I agree, no need for lecturing, just answers. I'm certain I can cut down a lot, but don't know if I'm ready (honestly) to stop all together. At the end, my choice. Thanks again.

My answer to this question is yes. I didn't quit and wasn't asked to.. Please note that I am simply answering the question. I am not a smoking advocate nor do I encourage anyone to break rules set out by a physician. I had no complications from smoking before and after surgery and I healed just fine. Everyone may not have the same experience as me, but then again they might.
Again - I am answering this question. I do not require a lecture or any advice.

June 10th here. Started process last July with a seminar. August met with Dr. September through March had to do nutrition/exercise classes (insurance required 6 months). Had an IVC filter placed earlier today and begin 2 week liquid liver shrinking diet on 05/27...only Protein Shakes, low sodium broth, sugar free Jello and sugar free popsicles. Who's gonna be grouchy?? -> this guy <-
