I wasn't sleeved yet but a Call to the doc might be your best bet. Congrats to you and best of luck to your husband.

He's not lactose intolerant and drinking a bunch of milk, is he? Could it be spit that's coming back up for some reason or a sinus infection maybe? Definitely give the surgeons office a call!

I'm getting sleeved Feb 20 the just a few days away. I'm starting to freak out, I have to admit I did cheat on the pre open diet and had a small sandwich on Friday :( I don't know what to do! Did I ruin everything? I am back on Protein Shakes, Jello, tea, Water and broth.< /p>

they only ask for you to do the best you can ! I think we have all cheated.. some worse than others and we still had the surgery

My surgery is also on Feb 25th. I've lost about 5lbs on the Preop diet. I started a week early. About 9lbs to go for my pre-surgery goal. Not going to make it but feel good about losing 44lbs on my own.

Good luck everyone!

I don't have the support of my family they are in Florida I am in NY. My husbands family does not know I have not told them I don't want them to know because they are a bit negative I told a friend of the family who I thought would be supportive and was horrified by her response.

I regret telling her anything I ended up telling her I decided not to do it' date=' joined a gym and doing herbalife just to get her off my back.

I hate lying to people this is not me, I feel ashamed as if I'm doing something shameful. My sister and friends from Florida support me they will help me get through this. My husband is also my rock he is behind me.![/quote']

I understand about not telling people about having the surgery. I'm 5'6 and highest weight 205. I've lost and gained all my life. So people don't understand why I want to do this but I've come to realize it isn't for them to understand just for me to know its what's best for my life. This is a huge step for all of us towards a healthier happier life. I'm proud of all of us.

I was coughing up bloody phlem but that was normal from anesthesia. Otherwise I would call the Dr.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
