Hi anyone having surgery in May, I am looking for a buddy. Thanks.

I did a bad thing I was upset cos my daughter was very nasty to me she has no sympathy for my fear or difficulties with pre op diet etc cos she says I brought it all upon myself - I fell into terrible depression so went and bought a Box of fudge and some shortbread biscuits and ate the lot :-( my op is Tuesday morning - I feel bad and very alone with no friends or family support - I have no family other than my daughter and my friends are in Australia :'( And im in England - I hope I haven't messed up my op by eating bad things.

Bridget, have you been seeing a psychologist? I've found that my continued visits have helped with my anxiety from certain family members disapproval.

I am a psychologist lol - no I don't see anyone - I'm self funding and here in UK seeing psych and counsellors very expensive privately - I have to find a way to stop using food as an emotional crutch which is clearly what I do.

Hahaha we'll never mind then. I have heard about the health care system in the uk. Very difficult . Be strong

Hi everyone! I'm new to the forum, and I'm having Gastric sleeve surgery on May 27th with Dr. Aceves! I am so excited, but I'm getting really nervous about the post-op diet. My mom had the same surgery and she said she was starving! A whole month of living on liquids is going to be hard!! Lol! Is anyone else having their surgery on the 27th?

I am having surgery May 29th, getting pretty nervous! I am not sure what Vitamins I should be buying can anyone help me with this

Congratulations!! I'm having mine on May 27th! Who is your surgeon?

Thank you, and Congratulations to you also! My surgeon is Dr.Umbach, who is yours?

NiaSia: That's what my pre-op diet is as well. Start mine on May 10th with surgery on the 20th. Like you, I'm trying to take it one phase at a time! I'm a planner so this is a little difficult but there is so much to think about that I have forced myself to take it one step at a time and "trust the process". Good luck!!

Thanks Rome! Good luck to you too!!! I thought I was they only one with that strict of a diet! Lol actually I'm now day 3 as it is 1 am and it's not too bad. I'm getting used to carrying "my bag" around that contains my Protein shakes Jello and Water.

I too am a planner but this time I'm doing just what you said and trusting the process!!!!

Mine is Dr. Aceves! I can't wait!

I am one more night away from surgery...May 5th. I am in Southern California and I have been pursuing the surgery since 2008. Can't believe I am actually a day away. My insurance and medical group required 32 weeks worth of classes and support groups. It was a 3 hour round trip at least once a week but I made it! I am having the bypass and will be kept for a minimum of 48 hours. I am so thankful for this site and to all of you who share your stories. Thanks to you all! Keep sharing and I hope we can continue to help one another through the ups and downs. God Bless You All...

It will all be worth it in the end. I had surgery September 16, 2013. Best discussion I ever made. Good luck.

I'm having my surgery on Monday May 12th. I've been on the liquid diet for 7 days...yesterday I had cottage cheese and an Atkins Meal so i cheated. I guess it wasn't a bad cheat but back on the wagon today. I was just to HUNGRY and felt like i was going to puke all day so i had a little chicken and green Beans. 7 Days till surgery and i'm nervous and excited at the same time. I've already lost about 10 lbs and have been working out 45 min each day.

Two days to my operation - I hope I will stop feeling hungry - it seems most people lose loads of weight

I have a tentative sleeve date of May 27th pending insurance approval.

I am having surgery May 15th. Just found out last week. I'm super excited and nervous.

Any preop diet for u

Celebrate multivitamin capsules, 18 mg iron & 1500 calcium is what I was told. For the first few days only multivitamin so I don't get constipated. My surgery is May 7th.

Thank you, and good luck
