I think this is a great idea. Maybe we can keep in touch throughout the journey. My surgery is scheduled for September 30th also. I look forward to the next morning when its over. I felt both numb and anxious when I got my date. I went on a bing which I am now trying to recover from. It was my nerves. I got back on the wagon and now I am making my lists in preparation for my new birth - lol. I know its going to be hard......I have heard about the mental hunger that comes. Oh la la. I need help yall. I don't have anyone. Glad I found you all. Love, Peace and Prayers to each of you.

I found it hard to find protein drinks I actually liked...i don't like milkshakes or milky products..so it makes it tough to find one. I finally found the most "decent" one is the Isopure Plus. Easy to get down, and the aftertaste is manageable. Has 15g of protein. And no carbs. I got the alpine punch flavor.

I'm scheduled for September 23. Today is my first day of pre-op prep. Not as hungry as I thought I'd be so I'm happy. I can't wait for the 23rd!!! I am still trying to find a Protein Drink that tastes good to me. I like the idea of Protein that has no flavor at all because I find some to be way too sweet. Glad to be in touch with others in the same boat as me.

Yes it is! I'm trying to stay focused. I know I have it better than some, but I still need to be mindful. I have my preop appointment in the morning. I hope learn a lot.

Just had my surgery on Sept.5th at the OCC and am 5 days post op! I feel like I have so much energy at times and then have moments I need to rest. I haven't lost any weight yet and was told by another sleever she didn't in loose the first week. I do feel smaller so I am thinking I am loosing inches. I am getting used to dealing with the head hunger but so great full I have this tool where I can't eat. It's seems to be getting better everyday. Liquids are going down great too:)

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
