I was on Facebook, but I find this forum much better. But if I decide to go back, I want in....now the important reason for my post...I am having the toughest time with my preop liquid diet. I spoke with my surgeon, his answer was to drink another shake. How much Protein is too much? I actually feel like I'm withdrawing from food. I have stomach pains, cramps, sweats, shaky and diarrhea. I know I'm a food addict and expected withdrawal, but this is super hard!! Is anyone else struggling like I am? My friends and family only help so much. They don't know what to say or how to help. I find when I can eat my one and only lean and green meal, I inhale it like I've never eaten before, and within 30 mins I'm so hungry again. I'm trying to stay busy and not think about it, but it's hard to do when you are feeling "sick". It's almost like I'm dope sick!! Needed ex to talk me down from the ledge on Friday night cuz all I wanted and thought about was eating. I've failed at every single diet I have ever done, obviously, so I'm so afraid I'm going to fail and it's 2 weeks of this. I'm welcome to any and all comments, suggestions and if I'm being a whiney baby, tell me that too! Just afraid of failing....again!!!! HELP!

Hello Everyone! I just got my date - April 15! I'm in the Dallas area and using Dr Veninga. Anyone else getting their GS in Dallas/Plano about the same time? I need to get my blood work done this week. I've been doing the Opt-Fast shakes since Friday. Doing OK...down 3 lbs in 2 days, which is amazing since I usually have to really work for every oz. My biggest fear is that the GS won't resolve my endocrine issues that have made it so hard so lose ( thyroid, POCS, insulin resistance). I so want to lose! I lost 85 lbs in 2006 thru diet and exercise, but 4 years later as I went thru menopause I could not keep it from coming back. I'm afraid I'm broken that way. I'm hoping very low calorie intake I'll do it for me. Anyone with similar issues? Any suggestions?

My surgery is tomorrow morning and I just bought sugar free Jello, pudding, fudge pops, popsicles, plain Greek yogurt, and bananas for my Protein Shakes. I figured that should be enough to hold me over at least for this week. I'll be on full liquids for 2wks post-op until I'm cleared for soft phase.

Fortunately I haven't been nervous or anything...why?...I'm not sure. I was more freaked out about preop appt, I guess I'm just ready to get it done. Best of luck to you and praying for a speedy and healthy recovery for you.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
