I simply ensure that I'm getting 80+ grams of Protein per day, 4-6 hours of sleep per day and move as much as possible during the course of each day with the exception of planned down days (weekends) where I actively rest and recover.
And then there is coffee.....blessed coffee.< /p>

You are better off telling ur surgeon then waking up from surgery to find out he couldn't operate and closed u back up or for something to go wrong on the operating table. Just remember mind over matter. Gl

I'm not perfect either. I was, however, very informed on what had happened to my body and what it would take to heal successfully. I have a family I love and kids who depend on me to be at my very best. I cared about myself far too much to put my stomach at risk. I had this surgery to resolve decades of obesity and I was not going to risk a leak, an abscess, a tear, or any other potential complication over food -- something I had clearly consumed far too much of, causing me to need WLS in the first place.

Love yourself. Value yourself. You are worth SO MUCH MORE than a chicken wing, a piece of pizza, a grilled cheese sandwich.

You can take my words however you choose. I know my intent and it's not the big bad bully you want to believe.

The diet should be treated as a prescription and not a suggestion.
Plenty of people don't take medications as directed and are fine. Many others don't follow directions and end up with complications or illness.
Your stomache has to be empty to perform the surgery. If you eat after your doctor tells you not to, you risk botching the procedure.
The preop is typically used to treat enlarged livers. Your liver sits right on top of the stomache and needs to be clipped up out of the way in order to proceed with the sleeve. If you haven't followed the diet laid out by your doctor, you risk your liver obstructing the area required.
Your doctor is not asking you follow the diet, but instructing you to. The surgeon wouldn't bother with a preop regime if it wasn't necessary, they are not just trying to make people miserable for entertainment.

I have not personally had my surgery yet but work as a nurse and have had several patients that over pack really you only need the clothes you wear which I won't have on long so u can wear them home. Ur phone and charger. Gas x strips (highly recommended). Personal hygiene products. Slippers. U will spend most of ur time sleeping.

As a nurse I have seen so many people in out er with complications from not following directions from this surgery. And I could tell you some horror stories. It saddens me to see people have this surgery and then choose not to follow orders and not seeing the harm it can cause.

This surgery was a choice the prescription you were given of ur diet was prescribed not a choice. What happens if you are told to take two pain pills and u take the whole bottle ??? You die!!! Same thing goes this is a prescription also. The dr gives them for a reason! Maybe think of that before going out of order and making poor decisions on a prescribed diet!! Maybe try talking to a therapist. Lots of luck!!! Best wishes!!

I've talked to my friend from church, he has a key to my house. I'm going to leave my car keys in my apt and he will ride his bike over to get my car and pick me up, so i will be safe.
