That is awesome to find 2 people with the same date of surgery!! AWESOME! Are you both doin 2 week liquids only? Ducky07 - I am also having stomache upset, I think for me its the protein shakes, but upset stomach is not uncommon for me, every since I had my gall bladder out, its pretty normal for me. Teka2011 - I have been doing okay with the liquids... its not easy, but I have to say its not as hard as I was thinking, not yet atleast. The worst part for me is preparing foods for my family while I can not eat them... but its the start of a new life and if I cant suck it up and handle it now, how will I later... so thats what keeps me strong! I was dreading the protein shakes a lot, but they have turned out not to be soo bad, I know for sure they are what keep me from getting hungry. The first few days I had a headache, but today I do not, maybe my body is adjusting. I had to go for my presurgical testing on Thursday, which was day 2 of liquids for me, and that was hard, cause I had to fast, I was already on liquids only but then had to fast from midnight til 11am, while waiting for my testing, I had crazy fat girl thoughts... "i could just drive thru mcdonalds after this and no one would know" THANKFULLY, I fought that urge. I kept telling myself What good would that do?! Since I already have a fatty liver, its really dangerous for me to even condiser cheating the 2 weeks liquids cause I need my liver to shrink, LOTS! What are yalls stats right now? I cant find one of those cute ticker things, or how to insdtall it on my blog/signature, do yall know how?

My name is Ashley, I am a wife and mother living in Southeast georgia. I just turned 30 years old, a few weeks ago. I have NAFLD, which is a fatty liver. I was suggested to have Bariatric surgery in April of 2012, it was a total shock to me. As a very confident person in my own shoes, I never thought I was a canidate for such surgery. Since that day, I have learned ALOT about myself. I was in denile of needing it at first, eventually, in September, I decided to go to the siminar. Since attending it, I have became very comfortable with the process and am now in my 2 week pre-op liquid diet. I have gastric bypass January 9th, 2013.

Anyone still debating about which between bypass and sleeve? I am... January 2013 surgery. Need to decide!

I am a mother of two young boys and a wife. Its our duty to 'do' for others and not ourselves. But it also has alot to do with why we r where we are. You are doing the right thing... getting healthier is a much better gift to ur kids than anything u can buy!

How this work?? January 2013 my new life starts! 29 years old, wife and mother of two kids, from southeast Georgia. Still debating on bypass and sleeve... my docs said I can til my preop diet. Any suggestions??
