Recommended Posts

I feel your pain @@Veronica Page! Im on day 4 and it hasn't gotten any easier. My mind is settled on what Im doing but food still SMELLS AND LOOKS amazing!

I just keep thinking about a year from now, being at goal ( I hope!) and enjoying my new body and life! I look at my baby girl and know I have a million reasons to succeed at this!

Well today wasn't so bad but I did manage to keep busy and I have my husband sharing the cooking duties with me. I think I just need to do as much possible to keep mental occupied not just physically. I just can't wait to go and have the surgery so i'm not HUNGRY! and feel full. The problem is that my stomach is still in the larger range of food intake and can tell that I haven't eaten much. So it will be a huge relief to know that if I eat and it is not a large amount it will be enough for me to feel full and satisfied for a longer period of time.

I'm at the end of day 3 of my pre op diet & (for now anyway) I feel like I'm over the head hunger part. What kills me is feeling all that liquid sloshing around in my empty tummy, lol.????

I am a band to sleeve revision and just received my surgery date of January 29th. I have already adopted the pre-op diet because I was sick and tired of being run down all the time. I already feel 100% better...I can't imagine what the next few months will bring. I am scared of the added risk that comes with a band to VSG revision but I am placing my faith in Dr. Schroder (Richmond, VA) who is renowned for the revision surgery in this area. Good luck to everyone as the journey begins!!!!

@@Jlkhollins Welcome to being a January Sleever and try to be scared. It is scary of course but focusing on that just is going to stress you out and who needs that right. Glad you have the mind set to start your eating early cause it is just not an easy one but of course things get easier as time goes on and I'm sending you the best of luck on your new journey from band to sleeve!

Woohoo! Survived the holidays on the pre-op liquid diet. Last night was especially hard. I caught myself attempting to bargain plenty of times and still overcame. One more week!

      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
