Hi. I’m literally 9 days Post-Op.. (Feb 17) You are not alone. My food urges are insane but there’s no way in H**L I would risk any health issues just for a small bite.. YOU CAN RESIST!! please try to make a list of great healthy meals you WILL be able to purée ?. That gets me through. I have until next Wednesday March 3rd & then I’m moving onto “Phase Two”☺️✨.. the thought of things getting better & tasty solid foods are on the way is my acheievement.! The fact I loss 14 lbs in these 9 days is my motivation to stay on my restricted liquid diet. Try to switch up your options. I love SUGAR FREE popscicles & Fudge bars, sugar free puddings & just ANY LIQUID ANYTHING?.. it’s all in your mind... Keep pushing. This is very serious but it doesn’t have to be hard, make it fun. Stay off the internet for a while. Read, make those lists of recipes, do some new wardrobe shopping (for ideas).. sip sip sip..

7 Day countdown to February 17th!!... Double Surgery?... Gastric Sleeve & Nephrectomy on the same day! No matter how scared & anxious I get. I’ll remain optimistic & continue pushing forward for my successful journey. I endured spinal infusion in 2019 so I’m PRAYING this healing will be a breeeeeeze **gulp**

?☺️? mixed emotions but READY!!

Hello everyone! I’m counting down seven (7) days to the 17th of February for my Sleeve & Nephrectomy surgeries, both together! “YIKES!”... Yes I’m nervous & a little scared but nonetheless, I’m OPTIMISTIC & can’t wait to start my new healthy life? Good Luck to you all.. any double surgery friends???

**BIG HUGS** I too loss my precious mom this past September. I’m still grieving her being gone from this earth. She knew I was going to have surgery. Which is now scheduled on the 17th. Though there’s not a day that goes by that i wishe she could be here for me. Doing EVERYTHING she could to help me be safe & heal comfortable. She also was a retired RN.... My family is very supportive but it’s nothing like your mommy... Good luck on your surgery.

Hello friends! I too am having my GS on the 17th. How Weber. I’m also having a nephrectomy surgery (kidney removal) includes on the same day. I am very very anxious, a little scared but I am very adamant of the success the doctors will achieve for me to start my new healthy lifestyle. I was already in the process of my Bariatric weight loss journey when I was blind-sided with a small mass on my kidney which is cancer. So, I’ll be having my right kidney removed along with 80% of my stomach... I’d appreciate any words of encouragement & any tips on the healing process if so.. We woman are so strong but it’s also OK to feel a bit vulnerable.. that’s human nature. GOD BLESS you all. ♥️

Hi friend. I too am scheduled for the GS on February 17th. My pre-op appointment is on the 12th. I’ll be having my Covid testing done that day as well. Good luck & blessings to you.. (yes I’m nervous) but I am strong?

Hello! I’m scheduled for the 17th! I too am a little afraid..?

You look amazing! I’m waiting for scheduling for the sleeve too. Very inspiring ?
