I can relate to what you said. I am tired of my back hurting all the time. Tired of my knees hurting. Tired of feeling like **** all the time. Tired of being so immobile. Tired of my clothes not fitting. I am wearing a size 6XL shirt and waist size 54 pants, that is f*cking absurd. I have surgery in 21 days. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

Hopefully it won't be too bad. Just try to stay focused on the end goal. I am not looking forward to 3 week liver shrink diet, but I have to do it. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

I thought you said you had to do a liquid diet for 3 weeks? Doesn't that mean only liquids? Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

It's funny how doctors differ. I have to do 3 weeks of no carbs and no fats. I have to do 2 days of clear liquids before surgery. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

It seemed to me he was trying to determine whether or not I was a food addict and a binge eater. We talked about my relationship with food. I already see a therapist for depression and OCD, so the psychiatrist I saw was pleased to know that I have support for after surgery. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

I was stressed about the psych evaluation too and it wasn't a big deal. The psychiatrist told me in some very rare cases he will not approve patients for the procedure, but that seldomly happens. My paperwork has been submitted and I have my surgery date scheduled for 08-31-17. I start the liver shrink diet tomorrow. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

Surgery will be 08-31-17 at 8:30 am 27 days and counting. Preop diet starts soon. Have to do 3 weeks of no carbs and no fats to shrink my liver. I just want to see pounds coming off. I am so miserable at my current weight. Watching my wife's transformation is very inspiring. She has lost so many inches since she got her surgery six weeks ago.

Lol, thank you for thinking of me. I am looking forward to the surgery, just nervous and scared. I can't wait to see some pounds coming off. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

I am scared that my liver won't shrink enough and my surgeon will get in there and have to abort the procedure. He said the chances of that happening are extremely rare, but I am still worried. I am stressed something is going to come up to prevent me from getting the surgery. I am so tired of being in constant pain. I am tired of struggling to put my shoes on. I am tired of my lower back hurting constantly. Not only that, my wife's weight loss is making her incredibly horny and she wants to jam all the time. My health is so bad, I can only go like once a week. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi Peeps, I finally have my surgery date. It seems like these six months have taken soooooo long. I am scheduled for 08-31-17 I have to do the liver shrink diet for 3 weeks instead of the standard two weeks. I am so excited and nervous and cannot wait to be in the post op stages. Seeing my wife's rapid weight loss is making me more anxious to get it done. She is only 5 weeks out and is shedding pounds like crazy. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

Wow, you look great. My wife had her sleeve a month ago. She is transforming right before my eyes. I go for my preop appointment tomorrow morning. Hoping to schedule surgery for September 1st. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

What type of unflavored protein powder are you using? Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks. It's pretty amazing, she is transforming right before my eyes. I can't wait for my surgery. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

I haven't started the pre op diet yet. I am afraid my liver is so massive it won't shrink enough. My wife had the sleeve almost 3 weeks ago and the pounds are just melting off of her. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

I am worried about mine. My doctor told me he normally requires a 2 week preop diet, but for me I have to do 3 weeks. I am scared my liver won't shrink enough, they will get in there for surgery and have to abort the procedure. I know I am catastrophizing, but I am still stressed. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

Wow, that's awesome. Keep up the good work. My surgery should be in mid August. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

My wife is having horrible diarrhea. She is afraid she is getting dehydrated. Is this normal after sleeve? Did anyone else experience diarrhea? Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

Mine is tentatively scheduled for August 17th I am so stressed but I just want it over with. I suffer from OCD and I can't stop thinking about it. I am stressed about the pre op diet and shrinking my liver. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

We don't have any unflavored protein powder just yet. She has been taking her pain meds. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

About the same. She can only drink water, everything else tastes gross to her and makes her nauseous. She has had no protein. I don't know what to do as she is supposed to be on clear liquids for a week. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

Man you look fantastic. Keep up the good work.

He has multiple offices and like 3 are near us. However, where does his surgery is one hour away. So, that was hard on my wife driving an hour back to our house after surgery. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

She is feeling a little better. We both got some sleep. Our kids are being ornery, I think cause they have been cooped up in the house too much. We are taking it one day at a time. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

That is awesome. Keep up the good work.

Will do. My poor wife cried when our daughter jumped on her then our daughter cried real bad. It has been a rough couple of days. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app
