I was pretty miserable during my pre-op diet, I remember sitting on my couch holding my head because it felt like I had a Migraine from the hunger and weakness, but it was all worth it in the end. Just think forward a few days to the surgery and beyond, and even though there will be restrictions at first you'll be able to eat real food again (even though you really won't be hungry), and all of the good things and health benefits that will be coming your way very soon.

So far so good. Surgery August 3rd. What day do you typically hit a wall? because I feel like I know it's coming. 😂

I just celebrated 200 lbs. lost in 9 months. Same as Kinda Familiar, quite healthy, just fat (with apnea). The sleeve was the right choice for me. I have heard that amazingly fast changes can be made with diabetes for people that have the bypass. The pressure on my CPAP has been reduced by half. I followed the guide lines to a letter post op, no issues. My sense of taste and smell has changed. Just had some of a Hot Cross Bun for Lent, been eating them my whole life, and really like them. I remember them being "yummier". Did not trip my trigger, didn't WANT to finish it, so I didn't. That would NEVER have happened before. I agree with other people that I wish I had done this sooner, but in all actuality it happened at JUST the right time, when I was ready. Ask lots of questions, but follow your heart, it rarely lies.

I just saved this for me to read during the tough times (I know they are all part of it) after surgery. Thank you so much for this.
