i totally understand those sentiments. i am so sick of Protein Shakes. ..i would rather not eat than drink another! I think having full liquids 14 days prior to surgery AND continue after surgery is exhausting. they should change the preop. if I only had 2 weeks after surgery, this would be a breeze at 1 week in. but i was literally done with shakes before surgery! LOL.

i wish it was more active as well xoxo. i just reached 9 mos post op....im about 10-15 lb from goal

Hi. I had my surgery at ORMC by dr Seth Judd. August 17 2015. I got close to my goal weight of 150. I was 153. But I haven't been working out daily and put on 30 pounds. I still eat the right foods but because I have not exercised enough I am slowly creeping up. I need to get back on the losing train. It's difficult to exercise daily. I have to get back into it. I hope things are going fine for you.

I just joined a support group in Poughkeepsie, but I'm wondering if there are ever Hudson Valley wls meet ups?

Recovery has been incredibly smooth (*knocks on wood*) I've been very lucky! Only one incident after having too much sugar, and I still have to take it slow while working out because I get light headed. But everything else has been fabulous!

O-kay thanks!

best decision of my life!!! almost 3 mos post op

OMG! I just found out I'm approved. However, after reading all these experiences, my own fears, etc....I'm kinda nervous and re-thinking things. This is my first post and I'm relatively new to the forum. I thought I'd share it here first. Thank you for listening <3

Pre op sucks! It really does. But your NUT is teaching and encouraging the right things. Chewing slowly, cutting out the soda and breaking that carb addiction. All of those skills will help you be successful post op. But the hunger for me it literally disappeared post op. It was truly amazing. I felt like a super hero with sleeve power! 9 months post op and I still feel that way! Size 6 and I reached my Drs goal months ago. Last month I reached my personal goal. So how does this help you? In the short term it doesn't. Pre op for me was the hardest part of the process. It was worse than the fear of surgery, surgical recovery, the post op diet .... all much easier than preop in my opinion because I wasn't hungry. So my point is to give you hope so you stick with this preop BS. It will be worth it and you will get some relief from this 'hunger'! When hunger is no longer controlling you amazing things will happen! Good luck!

My only suggestion would be to cut carbs again and increase exercise. Hopefully this will help! I really hope everything goes well on Monday!! fingers crossed! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Im sorry you are going through this. If you can, I'd take a trip to their office. sometimes face to face interactions gives a situation a bit of urgency! ;( Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal AppHang in there we are in this together and trust me I know exactly how you are feeling. The pre op diet is the worst. I agree about the food addiction as well same here. Be strong in knowing you are not alone. Please let me know how your surgery goes. I'm praying for you.
