Hello, I'm 5 months out and I have ONE cup of regular coffee a day, in the morning. I have no negative issues with this. The only problem you may have is that if you drink this it may interfere with your other liquids or your breakfast ie protein intake. It is unrealistic to me that I cannot have certain things that I enjoy. This surgery has enabled me to know what moderation is. This is just me and I am not trying to tell anyone else to do anything that their doc says to do or not to do.

Hello, I find that I am so hungry. I don't understand why, Its more than head hunger because my stomach is growling. I understand that I went through this surgery for a reason but one main one is I thought I WOULD NOT BE HUNGRY!!!! Why am I hungry??? My start weight in this process was 248. I did not take this surgery lightly or for granted. I am just being honest, I am on full liquids but did have some things yesterday against my diet. I think I better just suck it up & deal with it and hope things get easier. to Loseit2014 thank you so much for your honestly!!

Hello, I was wondering how many people followed the diet to a T after surgery. Did you start any food earlier? I am 10 days out and I had scrambled eggs this morning. I did not have any problems with them. I am supposed to be on full liquids till Tue. My stomach seems to growl all the time. I was just wondering what your experiences with food were during your first 6 weeks. Thanks

I had a dream I ate a Whopper w cheese and loved it!!! I am 10 days out and missin food!!!

Hello Ithueme, I am 10 days out and I live in Sterling Hts, MI and I would be more than happy to participate.

Congrats on that!!!

Hi HMB, thanks for posting that. I am 10 days out and wondering when I will feel myself. I really like to c that in four weeks you felt great. I cant wait to eat real food.

Hi you all. I had my surgery last week Tuesday 3/25. I had a large hiatle (not sure of spelling) hernia. My doc said half my stomach was in my chest. I went for leak test and dye got stuck. It did go down next day.I also had Fluid in my lungs. I was in hospital for 4 days. My doc wanted 5 but I begged him to let me go home. I am better today but had to have more fluid put in me yesterday through Iv at doc office. To be honest I regretted the surgery for the first few days. I cant wait to get to next stage in diet because am so sick of shakes now. I am sorry if I sound ungrateful or negative. I am sure I will be OK and my funk will change.

Hi Jac, congrats!! I am also having my surgery tomorrow. I wish you a speedy recovery and lots of pounds lost! I am in MI where r u??

Hello fifties, its finally here, my day. I check into the hospital at 7am and my surgery is at 9am. It seems like it took forever to get here!! I am excited and cant wait to not be hungry all the time!! I will check in in a couple of days,,,,,,,

Hi rbtnin, I am so happy for you!!!! I will be having my surgery tomorrow and cant wait for this to happen to me, congrats!!!

Hi Annie & friends, I have chosen Dr Chengelis. I had my pre opp apt with him last week. He is very nice and I first met him at seminar. He also has good reviews and I like his personality, knowledge and humor. I will have my sleeve surgery 3/25.

Hey Chantel. you look great!!! You look like a totally different person....congrats!!!

Hello everyone, I have BCN of MI and I was approved with no issues, I had to do 6 months of supervision. I lost and gained 10 lbs or so. There was no WL requirement but I was sure when I went to checkup close to 6 months that I was down. I have since gained but my date is 3/25/14. I start my pre opp diet this coming Monday 3/10/14. I went through Beaumont of Royal Oak MI. As long as paperwork is turned in with data that says you need the surgery BCN of MI is no problem. I just wanted to share this info

Hi hopeful, you will be fine. I have had these very same thoughts and I am 51. My surgery date is the 21st of this month but was changed to the 25th. I feel this is the greatest gift we could have for our condition. All the thoughts and feelings we have are normal. Before you know it we will be recovering & on our way to a new life
