Recommended Posts

Hi all!

I am new here. I found this app as I was looking for apps that would joe with support after my gastric sleeve procedure.

I am having sleeve surgery done at 130 on July 22nd. I am SO excited, but nervous

I'm really nervous about the week long liquid fast.

Any tips or ideas to get through that easier would be so appreciated!

I look forward to getting to know everyone!

I am scheduled for RNY on July 18th. At this point I'm not nervous, but I'm sure it will come! I do not have to do the liquid diet, thankfully. I say my doctor Thursday for my H&P and he asked I lose 2 pounds before surgery. I am sticking to my diet and am determined not to cheat!

Good luck with your surgery!! :)

Best of luck to you all. My date is July 24th. I'm really scared, but luckily, my Mother said she would go with me. At 1st I was going alone. I'm so grateful to my Mom. I start the liquid diet on Thur. I hope I can do it successfully. I'm having a problem with not drinking when I eat. I'm so use to washing it down, especially when it gets stuck. I don't eat on a regular schedule, so Its hard to get my drink in 30 min before. I'm going to have to work really hard on this one. I've been so emotional lately, which is not like me at all. I've been crying. The # of times I've cried in the last 10 yrs. you can count on one hand. I feel like something is wrong with me. I don't feel comfortable with this lack of emotional control. Even though I felt like a mutant for not being able to cry, I felt like that was normal and this isn't. I was thinking of going to the Dr., but when I go, nothing really happens. I got something from my insurance company stating that I need to lose weight due to Metabolic Syndrome, yet they won't pay for weight loss surgery, so Aetna, thanks for nothing. I hate our insurance. It is so terrible. The only reason I keep it is for a catastrophy. Thanks for listening. Sorry I am so emotional. I really don't know why I am and I hope its a phase or something.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
