My daughter and I said so long to quite a bit the day before we started pre-op diet but honestly I think my head is on straight finally because I got NO satisfaction out of it plus it wasn't a need to say bye more like see u sometime down the road if I choose to just much less of u lol. I'm so excited about food not controlling me and my life.

My husband and I were both sleeved so we kept each other straight. I emptied my pantry and helped a needy friend out with all the things we no longer wanted to eat. We avoided eating out and it helped keep us on track. Best wishes!

It is on my mind a lot. I keep categorizing my favorite restaurants and what I want to order!

I was going to have a food funeral but I have been watching my diet and exercising 5 days a week. I knew if I went to a buffet and pigged out one last time I would feel awful and disappointed in myself. I decided it wasn't worth it. I've been getting ready for this since November 26th, 2013. I'm on the 12th day of my 14 day all liquid diet and feeling great! I'm so ready for my new life! I'm going to be the boss of food and not vice versa! This life change is about making permanent life changes and one of the major changes should be what we choose to eat. We need to learn the difference between need and want. Usually what we want is not what we need. This surgery is a tool and not a miracle cure. If it were everyone would be having out done. You have to change your life style for the rest of your life in order for your surgery to be successful. Good luck on your choices and your journey to your new life! :-)

I have been feeling the same! I feel like eating foods I normally stay away from as well, I normally watch what I eat like staying away from chocolates or proccutto and cheese, but this week I did indulge a bit, now I'm back to my salads meats and fruits. I know what you mean about wanting to eat everything before doing the pre op diet but we need to focus on preparing to change our eating lifestyle, the best of luck to us all :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
