As long as I had money in my hand, that's all they needed to know. I didn't gain weight, I just didn't lose any

When Homer can't put down the giant moldy sandwich he has been eating over several days that is making him desperately ill. I feel that way sometimes post op, trying to eat delicious foods that are making me sick, saving it for hours, going back to it. Etc. 'oh, I can't stay mad at you!'

Cut out vaping and worry about the other stuff later. I had my surgery date in 3 weeks and started cutting vaping to once a day. By the 10 days I didn't do it at all. That alone was so hard, that if I had to add in a perfect diet, I think I would of killed myself. I love food I love vape. Get rid of the latter, post surgery, the food part kind of fixes itself. Without nicotine, your stomach is gonna heal faster and not bleed. Nicotine is the absolute worst thing to put in your body. I was never a analog smoker, but when I started vaping- I developed ulcers and heartburn. This gets worse after surgery. Don't do it. Make quitting your first priority.

Pre diet? What's a pre diet? I was supposed to do a pre diet but threw that to the wind. I was a very bad gril, eating in n out, huge nachos, Olive Garden 4 course menu...I went to town. Really pissed off my nutritionist at day of surgery, but hell- I self paid ( what are the gonna do about it) problem is, after surgery I still have all the addictions. But in the end, I eat wayyy less, a bit healthier, and learning things as I go. I just started up tae Bo and am loving it. I am down 16 lbs since surgery. I've been on this site for a while, and there are a lot of judge mental pr@@@@ that 'never cheated' ...honestly, I don't buy it.

I failed everyday of my pre-op diet until the last day. I had non stop food funerals. Post op-'I am doing great- tummy is stronger than an ox. I wouldn't beat yourself up about it, the real hell starts after they cut you open.

My nutritionist dictated I should get in 10000 steps everyday starting on day 5. That is a tough one to crack and have only been getting in about 6k, now I finally hit 10000 steps on my 8th day, and have never felt so good . Get a pedometer and make a goal. I use the wii fit- which makes it more fun

It will go down, I promise. I was bloated until day 6, I was doing everything- walking around, taking gasx (which helped the most). At day 3 just take it easy, take some pain pills, and walk as much as comfortable.

What is it about the shakes? Do they taste disgusting? If you can't get it down- try various other foods. Try some yogurt, try some protein powder, and coconut water is terrific! I got so freaking bored of the post op diet within 10 days, I am making my own scrambled egg/tomato breakfasts now

Not enough long term data to suggest stretching is significant. Get the sleeve, measure 1/2 cup food a meal, keep your calories logged-never go over a healthy amount, and you will do just fine.

I am wondering if anyone had advanced their food level stages at a faster pace then recommended, and if so- what were the results. I am only on day 7, but my sleeve is tolerating everything i put in it extremely well. I was drinking choc milk ( just a few sips) in day 4. i later found out that was a big no-no, but my sleeve could care less. I am getting bored fast with soups and yogurt and would like to progress to some sophisticated softies like eggs. Onviously, if i didnt get this done in Mexico, I could ask my doc. i cant do that. Also is it bad to be swallowing whole bariatric vitamins at this stage? My sleeve took it quite well.

thanks for the reply, feel a bit better about the whole thing. yea I am taking antacids- though they are from mexico and look a little bit sketchy. Maybe I need to upgrade. At 3 years out, do you regret it?

6 days post OP and all I can hear is this horrendous ear-shattering rumble below. I am drinking all my liquids, and even downed the most disgusting-chunky-protein laced 'chocolate' drink- twice today. Not to mention I am always hungry and craving pancakes. Hell, I even have my first bites of real food mapped out a month from now.Anyone else experience this, and will it subside?

driving out for surgey today, hitting vegas on my way, just gotta stay away from the free drinks. I f* my pre diet, not gonna lie

28-29 BMI'er checkin in, I have surgery in a week...don't worry about it, I struggled as well with the decision to have surgery, and after taking some really really unflattering shots of me in a bathing suit, I am so happy about my decision. Sure I can wait and pile on some more pounds, exercise with knee pain, have crippling asthma, have my first heart attack at 32 (like my mother)-or I could get this under control. ..good luck, do it for you, not anyone else.

Skip the BS and go to Mexico, they will take you in a heartbeat

Me too, it's okay.. We gonna be skinny b@&&hes soon

Gonna miss not wearing men's tshirts to cover up my huge fatty flapper like arms

no not at all, sorry if i have been offensive. I use humor and sarcasm in everything.

oh ok, so everyone else here all suffer from glandular problems..my bad

That's a good point

Uh because I am a food addict with poor impulse control. If you can't sew my mouth shut, the next best thing would be my stomach. I will figure t out from there

Yeah I thought of Vegas, we might drop by on the way... But when I see her several months later when I am a skinny bitch, she gonna know I didn't get that way from eatin no dang carrot

She will stress and worry and try and talk me out of it, she has severe anxiety- and she already knows something is up

Mostly humor, and a little disgust..I am struggling is all, I have to lose 5 lbs by the 16th. An d I have one more pizza place I wanna hit up before I say goodbye and be a little more disgusted with myself so that I am more than ready when they cut me out

Surgery is 17, I am dropping off my dog at her hous-so me and husband can go to Mexico. 'Yes mom, I'm going to the border of Mexico to have cheap, invasive, permanent surgery so I can lose weight...wish me luck'. I can't tell her that, so what should I do?
