Justing starting my sleeve journey



Recommended Posts

Hi!!! : ) I'm a 47 year old Georgia girl.happily married with one son.I'm going on day 6 of the liquid diet that is a requirement from my surgeon before I receive my sleeve surgery on July 2, 2014 . I have been having headaches & I was wondering if any of y'all have experience this when y'all were doing the liquid diet?

Thanks y'all for the replies!!! I just google & read online that the headaches i'm experiencing could be that I'm not getting enough Water due to being dehydrated could possibly cause headaches..so today I'm going to really focus on getting my 64 oz of water down!!! I swear this liquid diet feels like it's going to be the death of me!!!! Prayers & Good luck to all of y'all from georgiagirl_1967

Hi Georgiagirl, welcome to an incredible journey! Best of luck and remember to take everything in stride! I was sleeved on 4/15 and I am down 70 lbs. what's amazing is the almost instant feeling of increased energy and well being. You'll find yourself wanting to do more and more! I will be thinking of you!! And btw, the surgery itself is nothing! Piece of cake so don't get nervous.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
