    hey everyone! i love reading about everyone’s journey and i hope youre all feeling well today 🩵 it’s been a month since my surgery (july 3) already! i can’t believe it’s gone by so fast. no complaints thankfully everything has been going as smoothly as possible. noticing a little stall now but i’m not mad about it it’s all part of the process. one huge victory for me is i’m finally done with the blood thinner shots !! lol

    I had my surgery on JUly 3rd. No complications at all. I've lost 15 lbs so far and have been stuck for a few days at that loss. I am so afraid I am not going to lose anymore. Prayers to all who are beginning this journey.

    i honestly feel the exact same way you do. i’ve lost 13 lbs so far and feel stuck the past couple days i’m in the same boat you’re not alone. we’ll get through it and lose more ! just got to trust the process 🤍

    I'm assuming I won't be able to eat a lot right away so I'll be drinking shakes into my soft food phase (the 25th) and beyond for awhile. Especially when I go back to work. I don't want to try a soft food only to end up in the bathroom because my body didn't like it. I have a coworker who is a couple years post op and keeps shakes at work just to make sure she's getting her Protein.

    That's my plan, anyway. 🙂

    i had the same thought but i am so sick of shakes already lol (2 weeks post op)

    Hello! My surgery date is 7/31 and I’ve been getting prepared for surgery.

    My question is regarding the all liquid post op diet. My doctor has me on a clear liquid diet for the day after surgery and then I can switch to all liquids (like shakes) and I should stay on this all liquid diet for 2 weeks before starting on “Soft Foods”

    I over bought my drinks for these two weeks.

    My question is: Can I stay on the all liquid diet for another week or two before moving to soft foods? Is there any potential down side to that?

    Thanks!

    i know everyone’s experience may be different but my surgeon said to start the diet they have (liquid- purée-soft foods) for a reason to make sure your stomach can get used to working and digesting food progressively. you still drink Protein Shakes while doing this

    How many days do you have to do for your pre- op. I have to do 14 and I started on July 2 I may have started a day early lol. But I’m on day 9. It’s been a struggle I notice I don’t have much energy I’m always tired.

    mine was 14 too just push through as best as you can and remember before you know it it’ll be behind you and you’ll be on your way to your new future! it feels light years away at this point lol (im now a week out from surgery)

    Hi everyone - my surgery is actually tomorrow. For some reason I’m weirdly calm right now. Maybe the nerves will set in tomorrow?

    Unfortunately my procedure isn’t until late in the day… lots of time to think…

    that was me! i didn’t even have nerves the day of like i thought i would. i think i was just so ready to start this thing lol

    Not because of my age but just because of the way certain family and friends think they know what is best for everyone else I have kept the circle of who I have told small for now.

    Once all goes well I don't mind after, as I am hoping that the results will show in a new look and lease on life for me. I just didn't want any negativity in advance as figure doing this on my own is enough to deal with.

    I am like you, primarily for my health but I wouldn't mind if it gives me a bit more confidence in certain areas of my life and I feel more comfortable around others as at times I always just feel like the fat friend that no-one really considers or worse that they feel sorry for me.

    i’m in the same boat i feel the same way as you both. my reason is for my health and everything else that comes with it is a nice bonus. just the confidence and comfortability will make my job much easier for me

    @FifiLux i hope you gain all the confidence in the world! im sure your friends don’t feel that way about you but i understand where you’re coming from
