Min not sure what's wrong with me today, I'm two weeks out doing the no carb preop diet and now starting to wonder if I'm making the right choice to get sleeved. Anyone else have these feelings ? I guess I'm just scared my whole family dynamic will change. We love going out to eat, cooking together and doing wine tastings. Any advice would be great!

I had those same EXACT feelings. I reminded myself of all the reasons I wanted the surgery and made a list to keep reminding myself. I spoke with my support person who also reminded me of all the benefits of the surgery and how long I tried to lose the weight and failed. It's hard on the pre-op because you are tired, craving food, hungry, maybe you cheat on occasion (most do) and then you are like OMG if I can't handle this for 2 week how will I EVER be able to do this after surgery?

Let me tell you.. most of us had those same fear. Some of us cheated before surgery and had major guilt. Some of us didn't always listen exactly after surgery (a little to brave) and quickly learned OUCH or PUKE or poops. It is a lot easier after surgery. You got this sweetie! Be strong you are almost there. Also after surgery I hated most smells foods had. After the pre-op and post op diet I hated the way all my old bad choices tasted. I tasted all the preserves, salt, sugar, smells.. you will be surprised how much different things are.

I think we all felt that way before surgery. It is totally different after, though. You got this. The pre-op was the hardest part for me.

You will still be able to eat out.... just make better choices. Some places will allow you to order from the kids menu. chicken breast and steamed broccoli at Chilis on the kids menu as an example. I would get that before the surgery. I am 4 days out. liquids only still. I can't wait to start cooking healthy. I found this link on here somewhere www.skinnytaste.com . Good luck!!

I was one of the very few people who was willing, ready and lets get this show on the road kinda gal. Most people are like you. I think that you are the norm not who I was at the time...

This is an entire change for you. This is about you and the differences you are going to make for the good of yourself, friends and family. They are part of it and will share in it as well.

People eat out all the time. They just choose wisely! Healthy and Protein first. If you are a quality diner you will have no problem. A taste of wine. No problem! That will be up to you. You will decide if it effects your goals or if you can handle it once in a while.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
