I had my first visit with my surgeon today . I was surpised to learn that I don't have to have the endoscopy, and no pre-op diet. I was also surprised and concerned, when he said I need a ct scan of my stomach because I have had high blood pressure from such a young age. He mentioned quite a few things that could cause it, but, of course the only one I heard was tumor. Has anyone else had this issue? Oh, I have a surgery date of June 14!!!!

Thank you my friend!!! I appreciate all of your kind words, and I LAUGHED when I read the donut comnent!!! Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I'm not sure why, but reading your post, I got tears in my eyes. It could be that you really understand, it could be that I want this so bad, or it could just be because I am tired of the person the weight has caused me to be. I want to be happy, strong and confident. I have only told my immediate family and best friends. I don't feel like anyone else needs to know. I am not really concerned about support, because I KNOW my family and those friends will be there for me. I don't want to be a "mean" person, but I just want my co-workers to know that I AM A PERSON! I am tired of being self conscious, and getting turned down for promotions because people see my lack of confidence as a lack of ability which is so wrong. I'm sorry for going on and on. I have my 1st appt with the surgeon on Jan 16th. Thank you for "listening". Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I was wondering about confidance. I have been morbidly obese most of my life and people(mostly at work) treat me HORRIBLY. I never say anything back, and Tues I actually have to have a meeting w one of the worst ones and my boss so I can tell her how I feel. I don't have the confidance to say ANYTHING. i'm hoping for surgery in June Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Thank you everyone! I thought it was too high in sugar, but I tend to forget to look at the carbs. I hope I get better at this once I meet with a nutritionist. I have my 1st surgeon appt on Jan 16th.

Does anyone know if Noosa yogurt would be a good choice after sleeve surgery? I am wondering because it seems to have alot of sugar, but I think the Protein amount is high also.

I'm still THINKING about getting one. I didn't realize that it grills and bakes Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I just copied the first thing I found. It gives you info of what it is. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

From what I've read, it uses only a tiny bit of oil to "fry" foods. I'm not exactly sure how it works. My only fear, is that if I get one, it might keep giving me cravings for fried foods. I think I'd be better off not eating ANYTHING fried, even if it's healthier. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App Airfryer makes it possible to enjoy healthier version of your favorite foods by frying them with a tablespoon or less of oil and draining excess fat during cooking. The unique starfish shape circulates air around the entire unit, heating up to 390 degrees to ensure all food is cooked evenly. Food becomes crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The Philips Airfryer does more than just fry. It can also grill, roast, steam and even bake your food so you have more quick and easy options when feeding your family or entertaining guests.

I've thought about getting one. I was wondering if it would be helpful. I won't have surgery until June, but Iwant to stock up on the things that I will need/use after. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I think we are twins. You and I have the exact same stats....ht, wt, and age. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Have you had surgery??? I wish I could do it sooner, but I have the Summers off and I want as much time as possible to get used to the changes. I hope I gain the confidance I need to quit my job and tell them exactly WHY!!!! I HATE the way I LET people treat me here. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I'm hoping for June. I have my initial appt Jan 16 Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

You mentioned a lot of relatable things. I hope you get everything you are seeking my love,BC you certainly deserve it. This is your season !!! Good Vibes!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J120A using the BariatricPal App Thank you!!!! I am so ready!!!!! Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I know how you feel. I'm 5'6" and I weigh 275. I have horrible back, knee, foot and side pain. I hate going anywhere that I know I will be walking alot, because I KNOW I will be in pain. I work in a classroom with 2 yr olds, I can no longer squat down to talk to them and I don't know if it feels worse or LOOKS worse when I get up/down on the floor to play with them. I have no confidance, I let people treat me like crap because I guess I don't feel likenI deserve better. I feel that I haven't even LIVED yet, and I am 44 yrs old. I AM READY TO START LIVING!!!!

I'm hoping for surgery in June I made my 1st appt with my coordinater for Jan 16!!! SO EXCITED to get started!!! Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I CAN'T wait to go shopping in MY closet! I have jeans in there from when I lost 100lbs previously. I CAN'T WAIT to get back into them! (Surgery hopefully June '17) Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Thank you. I am planning on starting the process soon do I can have surgery in June, and I go back and forth between excitement and fear. It's nice to hear the positive thoughts of people that already had surgery. And congratulations! Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

That's what I'm hoping, that once I eat my protein, I'll be too full to even THINK about carbs. Maybe once I see the nut, I will feel more comfortable. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I'm sorry, I'm trying to reply to specific comments, but I guess I'm doing it wrong. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I do like the Proteins you mentioned, I think my BIG problem is going to be veggies. I just DON'T like them. I have lost over 100lbs before, but I just cut back on carbs, not completely stopped them. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I also have back problems that are getting worse, that is a big motivator for me as well as the fact that I am having a hard time functioning at work, which is also getting worse. I have the motivation! I hope it's enough. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

Hi. I am (hopefully) having sleeve surgery in June, 2017. I have NEVER eaten well. I have ALWAYS lived on carbs. Pasta, pizza, breads, Cereal. I eat VERY little fruit and the only vegetable I like is corn. I guess that is how I got to this point. My question is, will I be able to be successful? I WANT/NEED this so bad. I will do my best, but I am so afraid I'm going to fail. Was anyone else as bad an eater as me and was able to change and be successful????? Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I'm not having surgery until June, but I am hoping my boobs get smaller. I am a 46DD and my lower back hurts so bad. I'm thinking its from the weight of them. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App
