I’m so excited, I’m just bug in my face belly and inner thighs, I carry my weight well, it’s just so heartbreaking when you go to the store and can’t find clothes to fit, only clothes they have is for normal people

Hi Everyone,
I attended my orientation yesterday and received my pre op nutrition guidelines. Today was my first day following it completely and I am feeling terrible. I’m weak, light headed, headache, and hungry. My psych appointment isn’t until February 26th . I know I’m doing the right thing by trying to lose weight before the appointment. However I am soo not myself. I even had to leave work early today because I I feel yukky. It’s probably a combination of caffeine withdrawals and food withdrawals... doesn’t make it any easier. This is HARD.

Congrats dude!

Congrats!! I was just approved last week. I’m still waiting for my surgery date to be scheduled.

I quit smoking 3weeks before my first pre op appt with an occasional slip here and there u have to a negative nicotine test if you were a previous smoker so because I slipped and smoked a few cigs now I have to wait three more weeks before the test and I'm drinking detox tea everyday you have to not smoke at all for 4 weeks in order for all nicotine to leave your system that was the second to last thing I had to accomplish before all paper work will be submitted and PRAYERFULLY approved for gastric sleeve surgery

Hang in there, you’re in for a bumpy ride. My last meal was Taco Bell hahaha [emoji30]

That’s me and what I hope to do, I’m more than ready to get a new start on my life! My first appointment is next Wednesday! Today I smoked my last cig, drank my last pop, and ate my last super greasy meal (long John silvers), I know I’m making it sound like I’m on death row but losing all my high calorie friends (food,soda,etc) is horrible! But I’m optimistic!

I’m right there with you. I just had my orientation last Thursday. I started my prep op diet the very next day. It’s been rough. I cut out all carbonated, caffeinated, and sugar beverages. No coffee, no tea, nothing. My plan has me on about 1200 calorie diet. It’s about 3oz of Protein, 2 cups of raw veggies, or 1 cup of cooked, one starch, and one fat like 1oz avocado or 1oz oil. I’ve been doing well with 3oz of chicken (I weigh it on scale), broccoli, mini sweet peppers, turkey lunch meat on 1 slice of whole grain bread... 1/2 cup small potatoes for my starch. Ect. Lots and lots of Water . The first 3 or 4 days were the WORST! Very hard! Headaches, no energy, nothing. Be prepared. But it will pass. I don’t even have my surgeon appt yet. I meet with my psych in about 2 weeks, and I wanted to show that I am ready.

I'm SO nervous about my first consult with the surgeon tomorrow. Especially with this form I'm having to fill out: "Why do you think you failed with other diet programs?" I dunno! Lack of self control, loss of motivation. Whats the answer he is looking for? Is there a right one? IS THERE A WRONG ONE? Why is this freaking me out so much?!

I’m going to start my diet tomorrow to get a head start on the gastric sleeve, any tips? I’m hoping to get an early start so that it might help my cravings!

Yay!!!!! Good luck sweetie!!!! Saying prayers and can't wait to hear the report!!!

On my way for surgery, wish me luck guys!!!

So you're in Eastern Kentucky, how do i know? I was way back a long distance telephone operator. I'm in Ohio, and a couple cousins married ky and va girls. So I'm close to a GRIT, which stand for girl raised in the South,i am sure the Michiganders on here have accused me of it. They are still mad at Ohio for winning the Toledo war. Shoot I love everybody, even my misguided sisters to the north. Once upon a time I belonged to Bassin' Gsls, insisted when late hubby joined Bassmasters. My wants were simple, he went onto to fish more for catfish, GIVE me mealworms and I'll happily fish for bass and bluegill all day. Yes I bait my own hooks and clean my own fish unless someone insists they want to do it instead. Family went froggigging, wouldn't take me, left me at the house to cook the previous day's frog,legs. Put them in the skillet and forgot to put the lid on. When they got warm they jumped out, picked them up, washed them up, fried them with the lid on and fed them to the happy hunters. Figured if they got sick served them right for not taking me.
