Hey I' m finally getting my operation after years in the works. I'm 320 right now and although I want to lose weight, I can't really imagine myself " unround" lol. I find myself checking women out saying " I wouldn't mind being that size or is it possible for me to be that size?" I think I'm driving myself crazy....

My surgery is Friday on 12/14...i find myself doing that as well. I try to go on youtube and find sleevers who are the same height as me just a gauge on what certain weights would like on me.

I do the same thing and cant wait to wear all the cute clothes. My surgery is the 19th as well. Nervous but excited that it is only a week away. There seems to be so much to do with the holidays coming and so little time to get prepared.

I'm the 19th and I really am nervous but I think im nervous about change.... I haven't gone food shopping yet, have you? I need to get it together. And girl talking about the outfits, lord know that my biggest motivation. I love to dress up but in the last two years of gaining weight about 60 lbs, I stopped buying clothes I just hated the way I looked.

I'm in England and the prescribed pre op diet is 2pints milk, 4low fat yoghurt's and 1stock cube a day. For 14 days. Then post op it's anything you can suck through a straw, so watered Down yoghurt's, fruit juice, smooth watery Soups, milk and smoothies etc for 4 weeks, I have just bought some cans of Tomato Soup, some Alpro soya milk choc flavour, and some tubs of custard and also som low fat ice cream. Do you have any other ideas or advice?

hi Im in Ireland i did the same pre op don't forget your multi Vitamin !

i had my surgery on the 19th of November so just over three weeks out.

the first week i couldn't stomach strong flavors so just had Water and watered down juice by the end of the first week i started craving Soup but again something bland. be careful of the Tomato soup and fresh juice it makes the acid worse i am on protium for acid reflux it is a really small pill easy to swallow early on too.

best of luck you guys x

I'm also on the 19th and have done all my shopping. I got a little bit of everything as far as Protein goes. Some sweet (Optimum Gold Mocha Cappuccino and Lean Dessert chocolate Coconut) a fruity mix (Nectar Fuzzy Naval) a salty mix (Unjury chicken Broth) and one unflavored mix (Unjury Unflavored) to mix with Jello, pudding, Soups, etc. I also have lots of Jello for the first week. I bought all my Vitamins, most from CelebrateVitamins.com. I'm going to pick up some plain chicken broth (Rachel Ray's Low Sodium), Gas-X Chews and liquid Tylenol from CVS, I have a lot of low cal, sugar free flavored waters, G2, Vitamin Water, juice, etc. that I'm going to water down and drink to stay hydrated, and I have some comfy pajamas all picked out. I think that about covers it :) I'm ready!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
