July 9-21 Surgery Buddies?

[AvalonNeeCee 127]

I'm on pre surgery diet and surviving. I had a small cheat on 4th July but otherwise doing well and sticking to it. I took everything I needed with me to a BBQ and made it. I really have a different mindset because I want my surgery so I am stocking too it. Hardest for me is late far after I have had everything allowed already. ..want to eat so I drink a glass of Water or cheat with a baby carrot or two. I figure the calories of a baby carrot won't cost my surgery. I've been losing already and feel good about it. I think I'm the long run our kids will be better off that we did this. Not an easy choice to make. And after surgery I think we are supposed to do lots of walking. I hope you are successful in whatever you choose. Is be happy to be a friend and answer what I can from my experience.

Sorry my spellchecker had fun but I think it still makes sense.

How are all the July post-ops doing? I had my bypass on July 7th and am doing well. Still getting use to a couple of small bites and I'm full :-)

For all the pre-ops coming up, Good Luck!!! It really isn't bad, I know I worried a lot for nothing.

I'm still on liquids, but get to have cottage cheese and yogurt. I don't feel hungry, and only a couple of small bites make me feel like I ate too much, but I'm getting used to it. Next week I get to start the puree food, looking forward to that.

I did read that if you feel hungry, you might be dehydrated and need to drink more liquids, hope that helps. I must really suck to go through this and still feel hungry :-(

I'm July 13th. ???? I start a 3 day clear liquid diet on July 10th...I have no idea how I'm going to get through that! 3 weeks feels like tomorrow and forever away.

How is everyone dealing with family and friends?

Mine are sort of supportive...they do keep saying things like, "are you sure you really need it?" And loooong angry sighs whenever it comes up - I don't even bring it up! It's stressful but I pretend it doesn't bother me. I just feel like sometimes I'm all alone in this, and others are waiting to say I told you so. Frustrating.

Whatever they feel - I know this is what I need to do. And I hope they'll see the good once my weight starts to go down.

Looking forward to sharing this journey with you all!!

You got to do it for you!! My friends and family are the same way. They think it is only a matter of willpower. Best of luck in your new sleeved life.

Trying to keep my sanity with this all clear first week diet. But each day Ive been greeted with healing, energy and strength to keep me positive.

My apologies. It looks like the only way to join is to send email invites, not a link.

You will need to message me your email address, the one linked to your Facebook profile.
