You can get thru this.... I didn't think I would make it thru all the liquid and restricted phases either. Definitely the toughest thing I've ever done.... But I made it thru! I'm almost five months post op and down 52 lbs! It's kinds like giving birth..... While in the process u think there's no fricken way.... But when it's over all u remember is how wonderful it is! Wishing u a speedy delivery. :-).

We have the same thing at my work and I feel your pain. That said, you can do this!! I'm pretty competitive so one thing that helps me is to think of all the people in my life who have said I can't do it and I pretend all the people who are visiting the birthday food station are saying in their head, "She can't do it...she's going to break and eat." That motivates me to stay strong. (Kind of screwed up, I know...but whatever works lol!)

Good luck! You'll be great!

We went on vacation during mine and my hubby was waiting to go to his fave restaurant...a world famous large buffet. Literally rooms of food.

I drank nothing but my Protein shake and kept busy by talking to people at the tables around us (they started the convos...so no I wasn't bothering anyone). I made it and I know you will too.

Come back to this site if you start to feel yourself getting tempted. We're rooting for you!!

For all of those who say you can't go this trust me you can!!!! Just strength and will power! If I can be tempted all day long by a s'mores cupcake and not give in! Anyone can make it because anything s'mores is one of my biggest weaknesses

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
