I feel your pain. I post legitimate questions or concerns and don't get response some times then I see people responding to "can I eat tacos?" ???????? lolllll it's hit or miss!! Sent from my LGLS770 using the BariatricPal App

I quit smoking the day I met with the surgeon bc he told me it increased my chances for a blood clot after surgery. That scared me enough to quit. I never picked up again. My surgery is next Thursday and I've been smoke free over 2 months. Good luck but your capable of quitting. Its all a mind game!! Sent from my LGLS770 using the BariatricPal App

I'm in Pennsylvania. I'm getting mine done at Wilkes Barre general. I'm 5 days today. I cannot wait to get this surgery and get the process started. Sent from my LGLS770 using the BariatricPal App

I called he said he's not concerned with it basically... I had a freak out moment earlier lol Sent from my LGLS770 using the BariatricPal App

Hi all. So my surgery is October 6th. I've been on pre op diet for 5 days. All is going well except I was working out last night and I think i gave myself a hernia. I've had one before and had it repaired. But now i am 99% positive one is poking out since I worked out last night. I'm freaking out thinking what if my doctor won't do surgery now? I remember in his lecture I had to sit in he stated that hee would still perform a surgery as long as the hernia wasn't in the way of the stomach. What if it's in the way?!? I will be devastated. Anyone have any experience with hernia and sleeve surgery?! Sent from my LGLS770 using the BariatricPal App

I'm on day 4 of pre op. Struggling at times but I haven't cheated... I am on full liquids so cottage cheese, cream Soups and yogurt are ok. I mix all my protein in with those typically. But it's getting old, quick. I feel your pain. A lot more difficult then I imagined it would be. Sent from my LGLS770 using the BariatricPal App

I'm using Isopure unflavored. Clumps a little bit in hot Soups. Amazing in sf pudding and shakes. I do a cup of milk, Greek yogurt and Protein in blender. Can't even taste the protein. I also did cream of wheat today and couldn't taste the protein. It mixed well in that. Sent from my LGLS770 using the BariatricPal App

Mine is 70-80... But a minimum of 60. I'm averaging about 85-90. Sent from my LGLS770 using the BariatricPal App

Day 4 of liquid diet in the books. Struggling but I haven't cheated ... My husband wanted wings last night and asked if I wanted him to eat them in the car. I told him no it's something I'll have to get used to eventually. But it was hard. Sent from my LGLS770 using the BariatricPal App

I wish I could eat veggies. I'm October 6th And 3 days into liquid diet. I can have Protein shakes, cottage cheese, yogurt and Jello. I'm struggling but haven't cheated. Sent from my LGLS770 using the BariatricPal App

I recognize this post is super old but I'm getting sleeve surgery at Wilkes Barre general from dr.neale in 12 days and was looking to see how your experience was? Sent from my LGLS770 using the BariatricPal App

@@JanessaM so incredibly inspirational. My surgery is in 12 days. I'm 325... It's amazing to see someone at my weight get down to 165. What's your exercise plan and do you struggle with skin? If u don't mined me asking. I'm getting a personal trainer for after. Sent from my LGLS770 using the BariatricPal App

I'm on day 2 as well... Wicked awful headache yesterday. But it was better today I think bc i doubled my Water. I woke up and had a 8oz of water that helped immediately. I've been really nauseas today though. It's tough getting the Protein down Sent from my LGLS770 using the BariatricPal App

I am on day 2 of liquid diet and have zero patience. I'm feeling really bad about it. My husband is getting the brunt of it. I feel your pain. It really is so much more difficult than i ever imagined. Sent from my LGLS770 using the BariatricPal App

Glad to see you're doing well. My surgery is in 2 weeks everyone's posts are so helpful and comforting!! Sent from my LGLS770 using the BariatricPal App

Holy crap! I can't believe how fast this process has been. I saw my surgeon for my very first visit 7.25.16. Now October 6th is my surgery date. Wow. It flew by... I never thought in a Million years I'd ever consider surgery. I kept saying I'd work it off and I did at one point lose 70 lbs on my own. Then I got pregnant and gained 80. Since then I just can't get ahead of it. I'm now 330lbs (did i just share that with a bunch of strangers??). I go in and out of mixed emotions but I'm so Ready. I'm actually looking forward to the liquid diet. I want to cleanse my system. I'm sure that'll change a few days in!! Well here goes nothing!!! Life changes and permanent solutions!

Amazing. Love seeing everyone's progress. Surgery in 2.5 weeks.... Sent from my LGLS770 using the BariatricPal App

Thank you both for posting. I am 31 years old and I don't want to spend another 20 years on yo yo diets and waiting until I'm 60yrs old to make a complete lifestyle change. I want to do so much and I know this is my opportunity, I work for a hospital so whatever the insurance doesn't cover is waived. So I'm getting the surgery practically at no cost. I will never have this opportunity again. Your both very inspiring. Thank you. Sent from my LGLS770 using the BariatricPal App
