Theweightisover2024??

Well surgery was a success on the 26th!! I'm 5 days post op today! I just want to say that head hunger is a real thing, how did u guys get past this stage?? I have been on liquids since the 23rd and it's been a struggle for real, I thought after it would be easier because I don't actually feel hungry but physically I don't feel hungry it's just the mental aspect that gets me... I'm ready for these few weeks to fly by so I can begin to eat regularly again.

Good luck! Your life is going to change now for the better!!

I cannot wait to just get it done and start feeling better ? I hope this surgery helps you a ton! I bet everything is rlly different there, they are going to take rlly good care of you and you will be back on ur feet In no time!

Your going to do great!!! We are all rooting for you!! Mines scheduled for the 26th! We are all here for eachother and will be during and after the surgeries. ? good luck and a quick safe surgery and recovery.

Thanks! Sounds like your doing pretty great for yourself ? this is very helpful thank you ?

I wish I could quit cold turkey. I don't think it'd be the best for me tho. I'm glad you found something that works for you, I'm sure I'll find my thing to. Called my surgeons office and they told me my pre op would be 1 week of liquids but if I can handle one week I might try 2 just to be on the safe side. We shall see. Also found out because I already had a chest xray in January that I don't have to do another one because it last for a whole year which is great! All that's left is ekg pcp clearance and then my pre op appointment with my surgeon and then go time.... I'm so freaking nervous and excited at the same time. There is always that worry of death you know.

Thank you! I felt the username was well deserved. Lol yes I have tried everything and my brain is the problem, i can't seem to leave old habits behind or let them die. My biggest issues are snacks. I'm a snackaholic i love salty sweet crunchy gooey snacks and I'm having a hard time. Good luck to you also! You will do great! So glad I found this forum. I recently was listening to an audio book called the big book on the gastric bypass. Super helpful information and it lead me here as bariatric pal was mentioned so I figured I'd try it out. Nice to talk to other people in the same boat.

I have been overweight my whole life. My highest weight was 284 back in October of 2022. I have tried many weightloss directions including keto, fasting, tracking calories, appetite suppressing drugs, and even weight watchers. I start off good and end up just spiraling downward and stop. I really think this tool is going to be my key to success.

I am also looking into August surgery. They have the 26th held for me until I see my pcp and get cleared from her. So far I have completed the psych part and labs. I have my clearance appointment with my pcp in July and still need to do a chest xray and ekg. It's getting realer all the time. I'm very nervous and anxious about it. Surgery was my last resort.
