Has anyone with a lower bmi had the sleeve and did a 3 day liquid preop diet only? If so how was your surgery, wls, and preop process?

I am 7 years out and there is no way my stomach is the size it was and I am back to square one.

I would love to eat 2 pieces of pizza. I used to be able to eat 4 pieces before surgery. We had pizza the other night and I was so stuffed after one piece, I was uncomfortable. I wanted another piece, but my surgery held me back.

So the surgery does help with a lot of my eating problems. It just doesn't help with willpower.

The thing that makes me gain weight and have trouble losing it are the sliders. Cookies, candy, and especially, anything sweet actually.

The first week post-op I felt like I had been hit by a truck. This was due largely to the major surgery, but also going cold-turkey off of a major caffeine dependence and carbs! (I did not do a pre-op diet). I got some energy back during the second week, but now that I'm back to work and life, I am utterly exhausted. I found the increasing my Fluid does help.

Has anyone tried Vitamins and B12 shots? If so did it help during the draining stage?

Omg thanks for posting and sharing your gift. I've been interested in this for a long time now. The classes can be quite costly.

I have found that sugar free Popsicles are helpful in that arena.

Did you get a card from your surgeon to show to waiters that let you order off the kids menu? Are most places receptive to this?

Just remember you're on a journey. Along the way there are hurdles. Leap and bound beyond the haters and naysayers. In the race someone has to win. Let it be you not the Negative Nancys'

K Love!

I was denied by one surgeon because my bmi was to low. I'm at 30 and only 5ft tall. I have struggled with my weight since my early teenage years. I'm currently 32 and like most people I'm gaining not losing. Has anyone ever been approved for the sleeve with a similar situation as mine?
