I just want to say thanks to all of u who responded to all my posts. When I get notified, I cannot seem to get back to the responses, so I thought I would thank all of u here. Im scheduled for the sleeve June 13th, and although it is a ways off, I should be pre-oping it! Instead, I am sooooooo darn nervous, cause of all my co-morbilities, I am feastinggggg every day!!!!! I am eating moree than ever. How ridiculous I know. Did this happen to any one of u pre-op?????? Thx again all, this is a wonderful site!

Hello all, I too am scheduled for June 13th. I had to go thru 3 month program of which it was recommended you eat and "say goodby" to your favorite foods. Well I did that ...over and over again..and gained 9 lbs during that three months. My Dr. wants me to loose that before surgery. He only has a 2 day pre op diet but I have started doing south beach in order to get that off pre op. Think I have my mind right and am ready for june 13th.

Lollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll, yes, we will soon be twins!!! and sooooo right u r bout the 2 week pre-op!!! only problem with me is......medicare dont require any pre-op, now do they require any more testing!!!!, but my primary DR is sending me for most Im glad ur not binging. I have always been a tremendous eater, but now knowing im going under June 13th....I been feasting everrrrry darn day !!! I have been eating worse than I have ever, and I just can't seem to control myself. I have every co-mobility on the list, so thats whats been buggin me really. I knowwwwww, by binging, it's not gonna make the surgery any better, only worse. I have got to get it together. I still have a few more days b4 I get on track, then i'll have no choice afterwards. Anyway, thx for responding. Good luck to u, and plz keep in touch!!! twin lol forget about ursieursie!

You know, I realized later on that maybe I should have done this as well. I really struggled with losing the preop weight before surgery and felt like I hadn't said "goodbye" to my favorite foods. Also, I was thinking that for my very first weigh in that maybe I should have put on some ankle weights and stuff to weigh me down!!! I took way too long to lose that preop weight. I had my surgery 4/12/11, but had I lost the weight properly, I could have had it done in january!

Just in case you are wondering, I have been able to have the foods I love post surgery. Just very small amounts at a time!!! It takes a while to get used to eating a small bit when your brain is expecting a huge amount! I am satisfied most of the time just by drinking my fluids. Rarely hungry. I feel like I'm thanksgiving dinner full after eating 4 oz of applesauce.

lollllll lol lol now that...... is one question I have been trying to find the answer to.... for a long time, and thx to u, you finally answered it for me!!! I have been asking around.....how do u feel after eating??? Do u actually feel like u had a thanksgiving meal lol, and u can walk away, just like pre-op? or what?. Of course the head hunger will always be there, i'll speak for myself on that one anyway , but I'ts hard. I saw my surgeons in Jan, and because I have medicare only, they were able to schedule the surgery when they wanted, and there is no pre-op diet nor any 6 month wait or anything like with other insurances, which is not forcing me to do anything. I am going to start some sort of diet hopefully this wk. It's supposed to be beneficial, but ultimately I have 4 weeks left, and reality is starting to set in big time!!!! I can just imagine what i'll feel like a few days b4! Anyway, thx for responding, and keep up the good work
