Luvnme4eva

Hello, I had my surgery in Waukegan Illinois on July 27, 2015 but, I'm currently living in Las Vegas, NV.
HW:258
SW:246
CW:206

I also had a hiatal hernia repair, my doctor kept joking about having my stomach in my chest, but I'm glad he fixed that LOL . now my stomach is nicely placed under my left breast bone .

5 days post op, feeling tired still. Fighting to get in all this Protein, just can't seem to consume that much liquid just yet. But so far so good. My husband has been by my side every step of the way I'm so great full to have his support during all this transitioning.

Same here I sleep kind of sitting up, waiting for my belly swelling to go away and this random gas LOL . Went outside today for a house warming party geesh my family and food omg there was just so much, but I had my bottle of Water. I'm just tired if being tired.

Surgery is set for Monday.

@@Luvnme4eva the social events are tough. I just had an out of town party. Did good with not hitting the buffet at the party and I'm fine with no alcohol. dinner with a big group was another story. I ended up eating salad. :-(. Then ran on the treadmill at the hotel gym because I felt so bad about it. You can do it. Keep your Protein Drinks and Water and those Snacks allowed on your pre-op diet within reach during the reunion.

FrankinTexas, my liquid diet starts today as well. The nutritionist said 2 meals today 1 Protein Shake, 1 meal tomorrow 2 Protein Shakes, then from Wednesday on its liquids, Protein shakes, sugar free popsicles etc. I'm a little nervous but ready to give it my all.

@@FrankinTexas that's also my date. Yay us!!!

@@tianna615 good luck we're here for you

Good for you, I would imagine that going going to work would be a blessing and a curse. A blessing because it makes your day go by a bit faster, a curse because of things like Krispy Kreme doughnuts just laying around being enjoyed by everyone but you. But, none of us got this far in our journey easily we had to be strong to pursue this new lifestyle. You'll continue to do great.

@@Gumpgal you can do this just take it one day at at a time.

@@tianna615, I think for a while we'll be getting Protein from the food we eat but also a lot will come from supplements since we won't be able to eat that much. The combined 2 should help us reach or daily protein goals.

I finally have my final appointments scheduled. Next week is one on one, lab work, EKG July 15th, medical clearance July 22nd and then a 2week wait for surgery. Ekkk!

I keep reading how difficult the liquid diet can be. But, it's doable. This is just one step closer to where you wanna be. Keep pushing through and good luck again.

Congratulations to your husband 140lbs wow. How great it must be to share this journey with your spouse,good luck with your liquid diet and upcoming surgery.

@@cdesimone good luck on your liquid diet please keep me posted I'm sure I will start mine soon after you. Just remember to take it one day at a time.

@@cdesimone I see my dietician on the 14th I guess she'll let me know then she'll also be taking my before and after pics plus showing my around the wls floor in the hospital. But she has me already taking my optisource Vitamins they are chewable not that good but not that bad either. @@tcon congratulations

@@juliarea, congratulations on getting your surgery date. I'll admit that I'm getting nervous about the liquid diet I have my surgery on the 27th of July and start my pre op on the 9th,dietician on the 14th. Good luck to you.

Luvjojo that sounds great. I won't be a sleeve though gastric bypass is my surgery. Maybe a combined group for July wls.

@@angelinstl congratulations, are you on your liquid diet already? How are you feeling about you upcoming date?

Hello, all. I'm also in July at the end of July though on the 27th. I'm definitely feeling some type of way about all that is about to happen. I most certainly would like to join the July surgery group.

Got it thanks so much
