I wish you the best! You can do this, you own this, food will no longer control us hun, we are doing this to control the food and it will be so worth it. I myself is dreading May 14th, the day I start my liquid diet as well, I'm going to take it as a challenge with food just like I did with cigarettes when I quit letting them control me and I'm smoke free 6 years now. Whenever you want to put something in your mouth drink a glass of Water or brush your teeth if you can :)

I feel the same way! I can't imagine being below 200 pounds. That's just nuts to think about! But I'm starting to actually believe that it's going to happen :) When do you start the liquid diet?

not sure yet I'm on meds now for Hpylori it's a bacteria in the tummy so not sure yet, I'm scheduled for May 12th for surgery but that's if my approval come in should be in soon Tuesday would be two weeks...can't wait to hear ive been approved.

What was the hardest part of your journey? I'm worried about head hunger hunger and not being able to keep the weight off.

I'm extremely worried about the head hunger as well... I'm on Day 5 of my pre-op liquid diet, and not being able to eat has been extremely difficult.

Oh no- I'm sorry to hear that! Does it have anything to do with the diet, or is it a non-related issue?? Please let me know when you get your approval!!

I was approved on April 4, and I got my date on April 7. Only 10 more days until May 7! I keep watching these videos of the surgery online. Is that weird?? Lol

Don't worry, you will do fine hun, I felt the same way when I was waiting for my answer too, I think we all feel nervous waiting for the answer, when I asked the nurse, she said not to worry, they very rarely turn anyone down ;)

I'm 10 days post op just tried Greek yogurt for the first time it made me stomach grumble. But today I got on the scale and I'm .4 lbs heavier.... What's going on with me?!! I've lost 28.5 lbs so far. I'm in such a down mood today I was so hoping to be closer to 30lbs today.

My date is May 12th, been on the preop diet for two weeks now. I put the scale away, it was driving me crazy. Saw the doctor yesterday, she was happy with my weight loss. She also told me that I will be out of work for at least four weeks because of the type of job i have, so i applied for short term disability. All is good. Actually i feel pretty good today.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
