That's a nice variety of foods. I'm so happy you're doing so well and not having any problems I hope to be the same way. ?

Thanks polly sounds so much easier when you say it......?

Happy to hear that you are done with your surgery. Hope you have a quick recovery. Thank you for your response.

Hello Peytonkr. That's exactly how I felt for dinner last night I couldn't wait to eat. I didnt care what was in that dish. Lol. If this is that bad I can only imagine how it will be postop. I can only have liquids for 2 weeks. I'll get through it but time can't go fast enough for me. How are you feeling? Are you back home? Are you eating solid foods yet? Hope all is well....

Yeah I figured it will be easier as the days go on. Initially it was 14 days but I lost weight and they made it 10 days. After surgery it's only liquids for 2 weeks. Everyone is different as well as every surgeon so preop and postoperative meal plans seem to all be different. Good luck on Tuesday. I go in on the 14th. I can't wait it's been a long 10 months of preparation......

Oh wow let me not complain. Lol. How do you feel your holding up on day 10? When is your surgery?

From your mouth to God's ears. Lol. Thank you for the encouragement ?

Thank you for the words of encouragement very much appreciated. ?

2 protein shakes and a smart ones frozen dinner

The struggle is real....?

That's amazing. I'm so happy for you and I can't wait to join the losing team. I'm sure at this point scrambled eggs sound great. Lol. What have you been eating the last 4 weeks?

Nikki my surgeon & his nurse told me the same thing. The more you walk the better it is. Thank you for confidence boost?

Wow that's great congratulations ?

Congratulations. Wishing you a speedy recovery??

Congratulations ?

Yay October 14th. I start my preop diet on Friday not looking forward to it either. I have to stay focused and constantly remind myself why I'm doing this....

Thank you ?

Omg so happy to hear that. Everybody talks about the gas pain being horrific. That is the part that has me nervous. Other then that I'm excited to begin the journey it's been a long 10 months to get to this point. Where you able to take something for the constipation?

Woo hoo congratulations. My preop diet starts Friday and surgery is on October 14th. Good luck with everything

How did everything go? Mine was postponed until October 14th

Exciting. Congratulations ?

Mine was actually rescheduled until October 14th? How did your surgery go? How are you feeling 1 week later?

Nice what a great way to bring in the new year. Congratulations

You are very welcome I'm glad I could help. You are right there is no stopping you especially when you remember why you started your journey in the first place. Reach out anytime you feel like you need to?

Hello. It's been a long 9 months for me as well. I started my journey in January with my first appointment with my surgeon. I think anytime someone has elective surgery there is always the question of are you doing the right thing. I just try to think of the positive things that brought me to this point. Losing weight, feeling better about myself, being able to do the things I use to do without pain, hopefully preventing future issues and diseases associated with being over weight etc. Everyones experience is their own you have to remember that. Just because something happened to them or they felt a way doesn't not mean that will happen to you. Maybe it's just that the long process derailed your excitement maybe or gave you time to second guess your self. I've had friends do this surgery and all I can say is it gave them their life back. They are half the person they were literally and have been living their best life ever since. With all this being said if you still feel conflicted maybe you should consider postponing your surgery in order to give this more thought and do some soul searching. This is after all a major decision and should be regarded as such. Otherwise good luck and congratulations on the 17th ?
