I'm 42. I'm am considered a low BMIer. My BMI is only 36 but I'm eating so much this week before my liquid diet lol who know! Ha ha I just seem to want everything I know I will never eat again! Has anyone else done this? I latterly feel the weight! Disgusting I know. Tonight was my last bye bye fat meal. I'll try n fain control n start my liquid diet n three days when I see doctor n two days. The next day is my liquid diet and after that my sleeve.
I have dreamed about this and I have been lucky for it to be available with my insurance. I was going to see the doctor about self pay and learned I could have my insurance pay it 100%! Not only that. I started process about two months ago but because I have documented history of gastric balloon before n weight loss up in down he said I can have my blood work n two days and then schedule surgery in as soon as three weeks!! I have high cholesterol. I am not in the USA but I'm American. So rules here r not the same.
What I'm worried about? Well first I'm over the moon happy. But I worry about not being able to sustain the change n my eating. I can do it! I have changed before but never for life or else I wouldn't need this right? I'm being honest. Has anyone else felt this and overcame that fear?
Don't say see a therapist lol cus I am one. Lol
Lol I know what I need to do but I'm just scared I fail

I about 195 pounds and I'm five feet. I would love to be 135 pounds! Have not seen that in years!!!
My motivation? I have two small kids I want to be alive to watch grow into young me! I don't want the health issues I saw my father go through because of obesity.

I'm a sleeved last post op 3 weeks and also a grad student in counseling. It would help u to maybe call your doctor and ask about a support group that is near u? You can find face to face meetings great where ppl can identify with u.
I would also call him and ask if u can go in for a check up to ease ur mind and maybe make sure nothing is wrong. It does sound like more pain than normal.
It is a huge adjustment. I am so tired and I feel overwhelmed with making sure I eat right n waiting to drink and if I am drinking enough.
Everyday write down or video blog for ur personal record how ur feeling. Try to think of a positive thing to balance the list out.
Record ur feelings. Ur thoughts.
And then go back after a few days and see if the negative thoughts r less. If not read or listen to what u said and then u will have a clear picture why u r upset.
Maybe u will see it's the pain u r upset over and not the surgery? If the doctor can help u with the pain then keep recording ur feelings and adding negative and positive thoughts. Keep going back until u see a shift.
If u do not see a shift after u saw ur doctor and u still feel bad then u should take ur recordings or notes to a counselor and discuses them. Work through them. No need to change them because they r your feelings. But u should understand why you have them.
Clear thinking and understanding will help u focus on goals for ur new future. It will help ur anxiety and give u support.
If u need me pls contact me.

I was sleeved a few days before u. On week four I had a stall. Lasted about 8 days. But I just said I wasn't going to weigh myself every day until I saw a difference n a pair of jeans I have. And when I noticed the pants lose I got on a scale n I had lost weight!
Also u should not be negative. When was the last time u lost this much n five weeks?
I'm a day or two ahead of u and I have lost about the same as u so u r on target

I just posted the same question in here asking the same. It's nice to know I'm not alone. I'm on day 7 and I can drink all my liquids and fill up a coffee cup full of broth and drink it as my lunch and not hurt me at all. I had expects maybe three r four spoons n I'm full. Then it got me thinking "oh no. Maybe it will not work for me!?!?!?" My luck u know
I haven't weighed myself. I'm waiting for doctor office so I can be shocked. I hope
I was thinking part of me got this to I can control me eating but if I can't hurt the first week and drink all I want will it work later?
I hope so??
Maybe someone can post on here they experienced the same and now the r moving along they have some restriction? I hope so

Ps ignore the self righteous ppl on here who seem to forget we had the surgery because we have issues with food and just having the surgery will not take the issue away. Keep posting any questions u have as some of us don't judge u. We know the struggle

Use a slow cooker crock pot to cook for kids. U don't have to stand in front of it. Ask someone else to fix their plates.
The slow crock pot is what I'm using to fix meals because I don't have to be tempted while cooking

U should see a nut that delivers food to u.
I have a nutritionist that prepares my meals and delivers them. That's three meals a day and two Snacks. They r yummy n things I would never think of making.
This will make u feel special n not eat boring shakes while everyone else is having nice things.
Search for someone n ur area that prepares healthy meals from a nutritionist
