Surgery tomorrow !! Have to be at hospital by 6:30 am .just had my first pre surgery shower gonna have another in the morning off to bed good night and good luck to all having surgery tomoorow and in the next few days !

5 days post op and totally tired of the liquid diet, but I found something tonight that may save me, lol. 8 oz Decaf coffee, 1 scoop chocolate Protein Powder, and some ice! Tastes just like an iced mocha. Sooooo happy to have had something with a different flavor!!! Can't tell you how excited I am to have some cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and cream of wheat in a week

I never had any regrets. I was totally ready for the results. I was a closet food addict. Mainly because I felt judged for eating the junk things I craved. Now if I have a craving, I'm confident and don't hide my eating anymore. Also I have A LOT more self control! I'm almost a year out and past my original goal. I'm letting my body decide when I'm done losing weight and when I'm comfortable. If I have a chocolate craving, I can get 1 small one, take a few bites until I'm satisfied and throw the rest away. Before surgery, I could not even imagine being able to do that. It's taken me a lot of retraining my thinking about food to get there!
In the beginning, I was very strict with the diet, which greatly helped me with retaining my brain and kept me on track for weight loss. My fiancé had some junk around the house, but I didn't have any cravings until like 7 months out. I still went out and enjoyed socializing at restaurants, but it was nice that it was about being with people and not about food.
I'm not like everyone. I know many people have some regrets after surgery. Most grow out of them when they start to really see results, some do not. Only you know if you are truly prepared for the food restriction AND the results from having such an amazing weight loss tool!
Read lots of books about different experiences. Look for them on Amazon :-)

I'm on day three of two week pre-op liquids. Day one was torture...hated every Protein shake. Yesterday I found one I liked and got a new attitude. Today, I woke up with headache, intestinal issues and just generally feeling like crud.
I know it will get better and this misery is a rite of passage..but it sucks.

First day of pre op diet and the morning went ok but now it late afternoon and I have a headache and I feel irritated lol but I know it will be ok and all worth it excited about my Aug 7 surgery date !!

Anyone else scared bleepless...or is it just me?
