Any 2014 June Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Hi I'm scheduled for surgery on June 18th and I'm super scared and excited! I start my liquid diet on June 4th but I'm so scared of not succeeding because I'm still struggling with giving up fatty foods.

You are going to do just fine. We all believe in you! The next step is surgery....I bet you can hardly wait. Best of luck to you!

Just a bit of an update on my progress on the 14 day pre-op liquid diet. Started day #7 and have lost 10lbs. It works, even though sometimes you feel like it does not. For those who are looking to start this soon, take my advice...DON'T WEIGH YOURSELF EVERYDAY! You will get discouraged when you don't lose. Have faith, if you are not cheating, it will work. Good Luck to all.

I'm on a day 4 of 10 day liquid diet, lost 5lbs. I still cook for my family, I have to feed the kids :-) it's okay but it's the hardest at dinner time, but my surgery is in 7 days that's one week and that keeps me going.

For people that are doing a pre-op liquid diet, are you guys doing your Vitamins already too? I just find it so weird that I wasn't instructed to do a liquid diet before my surgery...

Ok well I already take a multi Vitamin everyday so maybe I will try to replace at least some of my meals with Protein Shakes just to try to start getting used to it. I only have 1 week to go! June 4th is coming quick!!! Do you guys know what all Vitamins you'll have to do post-op yet? My doctor said multivitamins, vitamin b-12, and Calcium. I was kinda shocked to hear there was only 3 because I remember hearing stories about people having to take "so many" vitamins the rest of their lives.

My surgery is on June 4 too.

After the surgery I was told to take multivitamins but they have to be chewable as well as B12 after few weeks and calcium all chewable,

People that take a lot of vitamins all there life is people who had bi-pass

Hi, they want you to do a liquid diet to shrink your liver. Makes it easier for surgery.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
