  1. I just had the surgery a couple of days ago and I'm feeling pretty good. I'm up and moving around. The constant drinking is tedious and this JP drain sucks, but the pre-op diet really helped prepare me. I did two weeks liquid and lost 28 pounds prior to surgery. I don't know what the future holds, but I'm looking forward to the journey. Hang in there and possibly join a support group. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  2. Tomorrow is finally my surgery day. I am excited but yet also nervous. I am ready to begin this new phase of my life. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  3. Mines is scheduled for May 3rd. It's has been a year long journey thanks to my insurance provider. I started my liquid diet almost two weeks ago and I have good and bad days. It's fascinating that everyone has different pre-op diets (if at all). I'm down almost 20 just being on the liquid diet. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  4. Reading this reminded me of some of the concerns I have had about the surgery. Mines is scheduled for May 3rd and in preparing for my two week liquid diet, I began thinking about all the foods I was giving up. I also thought about how these foods put me in the situation I am now to have the surgery. For 32 years I ate what I wanted with no regard and now I'm paying the cost because I'm uncomfortable in my skin and I have little kids I want to see grow up. pizza and burgers are not more important than a healthy future or my kids. My 33rd birthday is this Friday and it will be my last being the big guy and I'm proud of that. The surgery isn't for everyone and if traditional methods worked for me, I wouldn't do this, but to me the pros outweigh the cons. I'm ready for the next phase of my life.

  6. My surgery is May 3rd. I started my 2 week liquid diet today. It will be a struggle. Never thought I would miss being able to "chew" more so than missing the food. But this will be worth it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
