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!!

Started the sleeve process on 9/7/2016 with 1 week Clear liquids sleeved on 9/14 it will be 3 weeks tomorrow and I'm down 31 lbs! For ANYONE out there thinking they can't do it, or struggling with anything in the gastric sleeve weight loss area....don't get discouraged! I am a previous bander and I honestly believed this surgery wouldn't work for me, or as well as I hoped, but 31 lbs in 3 weeks?!? I haven't even started working out yet! Be more committed to making a change and the weight loss WILL happen....little by little it will happen! Removing my band in Dec 2015, waited 9 months per the dr and it is by far the best decision I've ever made! Can't wait to see what size I'll be in by christmas!!!! GOOD LUCK everyone!

October 7th!! I just got approved Thursaday....I'm so excited I could cry.....
I only have to do 1 week diet, so I go Tuesday to the group diet class where I'll get my shakes and Vitamins and they will go over everything else...then Friday I will have my last appointment with my surgeon before surgery.....

@@dccarite I'm October 6th too and my diet is the same as yours. I'm three days in and it sucks lol. Where are you getting your surgery? I'm in DC and getting it at Washington hospital center

I have a hernia and my doctor was very nonchalant about it. He said it was no big and would repair it during surgery.

@@dccarite I had my hiatal hernia repaired during my vsg. Mine was found during my endoscopy but I am sure it will not be a problem.

You need to call them. Perhaps it is something he can repair while he is doing your WLS? Many people here have hernias repaired at the same time - though I am not sure what type of hernias those are versus yours.

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?!

There is a reason for the pre-op, so please stay on track for your health and safety. If you are still a few days pre-op then get back up on the wagon and stay on program. I can tell you that post-op is more intense because you are healing so cheating then can have painful/serious complications.
just sayin'
16 plus months post-op...down over 100lbs,

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.

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.

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
