Hey all, I'm at the hospital waiting for my turn to go into surgery. I have just met the lovely anaesthetist and had a horrible antacid drink. Nervous but can't wait to be on the other side :)

That antacid drink was the worst part, haha!

Best of luck to you!!

OMG SO GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE. SEEMS ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS food. I KNOW IT WILL GET BETTER BUT I HOPE IT DOES SOON!! I HATE WATCHING TV BECAUSE IT SEEMS THE ONLY THING ON ARE FOOD COMMERCIALS!!

I still haven't stopped. I start Soups tomorrow and I. Cannot. WAIT!! I agave some great recipes from a book called what to eat after weight loss surgery and I have bought everything for chicken and mushroom Soup (puréed) and puréed shrimp bisque. All low fat, low carb, high Protein.

My husband made his AMAZING and spicy tortilla soup recipe tonight and we drank just the broth. Soooo good!

He does it from the Cook's illustrated recipe out of their Light cookbook. That broth had so much flavor. Best thing I've had in 3 weeks!

Yeah' date=' I avoid food commercials, and make myself finish my Protein Shakes and eat sf Jello and sf popsicles. I feel weak but I have 9 days left till surgery. I'm trying to stay focused, I think I need to try almond milk or silk because the lactose is killing me. Just not sure, never tried any of those before not sure if I should just suck it up and stick with the non fat milk. Sigh![/quote']

Honestly, I don't own a scale, I pray I'm losing something because it would suck not to, after going through the 2 week liquid pre-op diet, but won't know for sure until I check in on my surgery date.

Hello to my fellow August sleevers!!! I haven't checked in lately. I went to my surgeon's office for my final weigh-in today. I'm down 9LBS on my 2-week pre-op diet.

August 12th sleevers we're next up to bat on Monday! *screams* I go in at 5:30am and surgery is set for 7:30. I'm not too nervous; my faith & support system keeps me strong. My prayers are with all of my sleeve sisters & brothers! ;-)

Good luck to those who are post-op and current/future pre-op dieters. :-)

      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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
