Add me:@lovethyself_becourageous

What is your pre-op diet right now. And congrats!!! I'm excited too!!

It was Protein Shakes Breakfast and lunch with 3 yogurts for Snacks, and dinner is a piece of meat with veggies. I had to cut back on the Protein due to my stomach hurting and digestive system. More Fiber and my surgeon knows. I liked my protein shakes but don't like having abdominal pain and digestive problems.

Hi Sassy, my preop diet was 2 Protein Shakes Breakfast and lunch with 3 yogurts for Snacks, and dinner is a piece of meat with veggies. I had to cut back on the Protein due to my stomach hurting and digestive system. I am watching my food intake and what I'm eating. More Fiber now. I believe you should start now. Also start making it a habit to not drink and eat. It's hard and I'm learning each and everyday. And yes it will make a difference to start today. Water and physical activities make a difference

The doctor didn't give you any instructions? My surgery is the same date. My doctor has me on a pre-op diet and a day before surgery all liquids. I'm going to do 2days of liquid. it's all am nervous but also excited.

Hello everyone,

My surgery date is April 28th. Im nervous but ready for this life changing experience!

Sometimes I feel like I should. I do everything else on my own without others. My best friend will be with me tho just in case of an emergency. He will also stay two days at my home. My other friend who is already sleeved states she will stop by.

i dealt with the same struggle (and still do). i am going to be banded (god willing) on friday, once i am cleared from my pre-op apt. tomorrow. i have told a select few of people, but none of my coworkers know. no one needs to know, except for Human Resource Dept.

Exactly! I won't tell any of them. I barely know them and it's personal! That's why I said it's internal. I'm just over it. I feel like I'm hiding things. :/

Only my parents, siblings and husband know..I told my manager I was having surgery and my doctor said I needed 4wks off (work in hospital)..manager didn't ask any questions. All she asked was if I started the process for FMLA. .not telling coworkers. .I hear how most feel about wls..we have a lot of patients that comes to our department post op for recovery. .I'm extremely a private person. I didn't even tel any of my friends. .sometimes I feel soooo guilty and like I'm hiding a secret life, not sharing surgery with anyone. Especially when at work 2 of my coworkers tell me private things about themselves. .I feel like, why can't I be open like them . Then again if someone tells me something I can keep secret. .I don't spread people's business. .I can't have that trust in others. .didn't know if would feel so hard keeping this wls a secret. .don't know how or what I will say when I return to work after 4wks off. .my surgery is 4/15..or what the hell I will tell friends when I start losing weight. .soooo confused. .wish I didn't give a DAMN!

I wish I didn't care but I do. Who knows. I'm an honest person but don't like people who judge everything and everyone. I just don't feel like hearing anyone's mouth. It bad enough my dad told me I don't need the surgery. He knows I'm having it and that's it. I wish I didn't care so much. :/ When I lose the weight, who cares how I did it and which tool I used. I know my surgery will get out especially with my family. Blah

So I put in for medical leave and my boss asked if it was my knee do to my accident and I stated no and then she asked again and I stated it's internal and left it like that. It was weird. I'm very private and don't like talking to others about it. I don't want others asking am I ok or watching what I eat and etc. I barely know any of them. I don't know if I'm thinking a lot into it due to me being anxious. Who knows.

Yay!!! Wishing you the best!!!!!

It's normal to be anxious, excited, and scared. She said the same thing and not to worry. We all will fill a mixture of the feelings above. I tend to think it had as a tool to help me better my life. how are you feeling??

I am being "sleeved" April 22nd. Wondering if anyone has or had those scary thoughts of what if's.... Especially when u have a kid.anyone??

My surgery date is the 28th of April & I'm nervous. During a support group last week I asked about leaks and surgery not occurring due to fatty liver. I was so serious and others looked at me scared. The nurse answered my questions and others agreed about wanting to know.

Hey I'm scheduled for the 28th. Where are you from?

Hey everyone, my name is Kris and my surgery date is 4-28-14. I have had at least 2 panic attacks this month but I am breathing and seriously thinking about all the positives instead of the negatives. I recently was in the doctors/hospital due to my stomach hurting and TMI I know but also bowel movement issues from the hospitals report. I need more Fiber in my diet. I'm scared, anxious, and excited. It's weird but I know this is the beginning of my new like. The Pre-op diet is going well. I only have to do a one day liquid dirt but I am shooting for 2 days. I've lost 4 pounds in the last 2-3weeks. It's little but hey it's an accomplishment! I hope everyone keeps in touch and we can help each other through this wonderful support system.

Congrats!!! My sleeve is scheduled for the 28th of April!

Very Cute!!

I'm packing my charger, Chapstick , Gas Strips, and some shorts. Simple

My surgery is in 26 days. I'm so nervous my stomach hurts.

I am having my surgery at Saratoga hospital! Doc Baranov! You?[/quoteS

I'm having mine at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center. I actually have family on the outskirts of Saratoga.

I am having surgery the 28th and have to be in the hospital by 7am which means I need to be out of my house by 545am. I'm excited and stressed. My pre-op diet is going, I'm trying and that's all that matters. Hope everyone is well.

I'm getting nervous that my liver won't shrink enough-anyone else having these worries? I'm following my preop diet, but wondering if I should finish the last few days on liquid only

I'm right with you. I'm trying to follow my pre-op. I have some days that I slip but more on track then before. My doctor wants one day before surgery liquid only. I want to do a 2 day liquid diet. You aren't alone.

I am scheduled for April 23rd!! I have been trying different Protein shakes...I found the best tasting is Chike! I am only going to be in them the first two weeks post op so I didn't load up on them. Some say your taste changes so we will see if they still taste as good after! Hah I have to be on a three day liquid diet pre op so I will not be having an Easter this year!! Haha I am in NY and very excited! I started feb 7th at 270 and have lost 20 lbs so far. I was require to lose 10 to 15 so I'm happy I could exceed that!

Where in NY are you from? And congratulations on losing 20 so far. I haven't even weighed myself and I've been eating clean for over 2-3 weeks!

I am received the call today, my surgery date is April 28th. No pre-op diet. I will meet with surgeon on the 16th. And pre-op paperwork on 24th. Very excited!!!

We have the same surgery date. Where are you from?
