Sleeved 7/22 and back to work today and volunteering after. I am pooped.

Im almost done with two week liquid preop diet. As much as I hate it there are benefits. I am learning how to make the shakes ...which blender how much water and ice etc. First couple of tries sucked nothing like a clumpy shake yuck. So now its like a habit I can make it without paying attention. Plus it helps to explain weight loss to coworkers that im not telling my business to. I think it will help me be used to the deprivation of clear liquids and gradual return to eating food. And I feel healthier, can walk farther. I think recovery will be slightly better as a result.

For pasta, down the line somewhere, im going to try zuchini noodles

You know... im 160 pounds overwieght because I haven't followed logic. Didnt get here by making logical choices. So to say why would you...? Well because im an addict thats why. All anyone can do, is do their best. I havent been perfect preop but am down 15 pounds or so in a week with a couple days to go.

Yes I agree as I have lost 15 pounds on first week of preop. Loss is slowing down but dr scale shows 8 pounds of that is FAT that is GONE and i wont let it come back!! One week til surgery

Youre a good spouse and the advice above is spot on

Oh girl im on day three and just cant choke down more sickly sweet shakes. Gross. Need this two week hell to be over. But its all worth it and its giving me tjme to think about why my cravings are happening and how to deal with them. Im not hungry now the shakes are very filling.

Lol candypants youre a hoot. Last flight I took I noticed that when I wore denim shorts I fit better than when I wore a dress. So wear spanx on the way to Mexico lol but on the way home you wont want tight pants

Yes self pay does allow whatever we want. I worry that we wont be as prepared for it. My surgery will be 3 months after initial visit so its not so so quick.

Feel much the same way but couldnt have said it so eloquently.

Hahaha I absolutely love the description. Deoderant for internal use. Lol Yall should try poopourri too. Its a spray you spritz in the toilet before you go.

Im scheduled with him later this month. Have heard good things...will let you know!!

I was scheduled for the sleeve then thought I would have to do the bypass... now back to sleeve. July 22...start liquid diet Tuesday. Starting to get slightly nervous not about surgery as much as pre op willpower
