you know you can private message people on here? Just thought I'd share. I noticed you're blowing this thread up with a lot of messages that aren't really for all readers eyes. :-)

I'm feeling disappointed in myself, because I have cheated every day on my pre op diet. I'm so hungry and feel I'm starving so then I end up eating. I wonder if anyone on this site had the same challenges and if so did this delay thier surgery or cause complications during the procedure?

-42lbs so far, I'm super proud of myself!!!

I've been searching this forum for medical financing sites. I have insurance, but might need a little help with my co pay for out patient surgery and with my deductible. Any suggestions would really be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi. I'm in fort myers.! :-). I had the gastric sleeve done on 3/31/15.

I'm glad I found this thread. I went to my post op appointment and lost 12lbs in one month. I wasn't too excited, but any loss is good. The doctor says that it's great, too much too soon for my body type isn't good. I also have a large muscular build, also the reason I see more inches lost than pounds. The Doc also recommend that I do 40g carbs, 15g sugar or less and keep calories to 1000 per day so that has helped me lose an additional 4lbs this past week. I still want like 30lbs off per month! Lol. Which for my body isn't realistic.

I live in Boca Raton. My date will be on may 11th. I'm 5'4 and 215. I'm not getting any support from friends or family. Well congratulations to you! You'll do fine. Do you have any support of friends that can help you out after surgery? just hang in there, because I was in the same position recently. my parents live almost 3 hours away from me, and my mom is bedridden sick, making it impossible for either my mom or my dad to make it down to help me. But with God and supportive friends I'm doing well. The first few days after surgery were the worst, but now I feel better. I was sleeved on March 30th 2015. Good luck to you.

Yes. Dr. Bass is awesome. I'm only 3 days out and still feel sick. I hope it passes soon so I can see the reward.

GOOD luck. Just had mine on Monday.

Just was sleeved on 3/30/15. Feeling sick right now. God please help. ????

I was sleeved 2 days ago and I feel like crap! I feel nauseous and the medicine the doctor gave me does not help nausea . I'm watching TV and all these commercials of food make me sick to my stomach. and I'm so sensitive to any smell in My Home makes me want to throw up. I wonder if this is normal? I wonder if I did the right thing.# feeling scared right now

It's official. APPROVED for Monday March 30th!!!. And I'm doing really well on day two of my liquid diet! I'm so proud of myself.!????

Things are ???? this time. I'm on my 7 day liquid diet. Surgery on 3/30/14????

@@BeautifullyCreated1982 great words to live by you are 1+ month PO how did surgery go?? how are you feeling?? hope things are going well keep up the good work Kathy Is not going to be on till March 30th. it had to be put off because I struggled so much with following the pre op diet in the whole preparatory program. however the good news is that I stuck to a two week pre op diet or liquid diet on my own and lost 14 pounds so I should be good to go on March 30th to have surgery, and I'll be doing another liquid 7 day liquid diet starting March 23rd

I'm so happy. I did a complete liquid diet for 14 days and lost 13lbs. So I should be good to for surgery on 3/30/15! OMG. I can't believe I did it all by myself!

Update: started over on 2/16 and today is day #9 of liquid diet. I'm still going strong!

Thanks! :-)

Got through day..5 I stayed super busy! I think the first 3 days were the most challenging like most people said. I'm back gonna master this!

Day 4 has been much easier than any other day thus far! :-)

End of day#3 all liquids! Did it again... trying to go 14 days

Lol. Amen to that!

Thanks I appreciate that! :-)

That's the plan!! So i don't eat. Lol I have to be at work by 5:45 am ever day so going to bed early is a must.

Day 2 and I stuck to it! Hard, but I did it!

Well it's the end of day #1 for me and I successfully stuck to it. I'm just taking one day at time. Goodnight everyone! #FAITH
