Hi All! I'm scheduled for August 6th. I agree that time seems to be crawling by. My surgeon has me starting the shakes/liquid diet a week from tomorrow. I'm tempted to pig out on all my favorite junk foods that I'll never eat again (at least not for a LOOOONG time) but I know I'd hate myself afterward. It's taken me months to lose 10 lbs and I'm sure without too much effort I could gain it back in a week! Been reading about the regret some folks feel immediately post surgery, like they've made a huge mistake by getting sleeved. Also heard from folks in a local sleeve support group to expect substantial Hair loss. Trying to stay positive and feel empowered about doing this but definitely a little scared. Can anyone relate??

I totally can relate to you.

I think I have already written somewhere on here, but I am 8/3 and really getting nervous, excited, scared, worried, all those emotions that I guess are normal. Lifestyle change is going to be weird, hopefully only for a little while. Worried about not drinking enough. Never worried before about getting in enough nutrients or liquids, going to be different for sure. This pre-op is not too bad, but I m having some stomach issues with the Protein Drinks, so the RD recommended Vega, just tried it, oh my gosh, one of the worst things I have ever tasted. Gets me so upset too, these Protein powders aren't cheap and now what do I do with it. Well good luck to all

I'm August 17th and my surgeon requires a 3 week full liquid diet as well. Today is my first on it and I'm just praying to get through this. 3 weeks until surgery, seems so far away but I think it will be here before I know it.

How many calories are you guys supposed to stay under during your pre-op liquid diets. I'm genuinely kinda afraid to pass out somewhere

I'm scheduled for 7th Aug! I'm so excited but hate telling people I'm having my surgery. Everyone is so negative about it, most people believe I don't need it and I'm too young. I'm 21, 244lbs and 5ft7 and self paid. It's so hard to help others understand how I feel about myself when nobody wants to listen, has anyone else been in this boat? I'm on jelly and clear Soup diet and my 1st day has gone great ????x

I'm sitting in a Walmart waiting for my friend to finish shopping. I've been people watching as I sit here. Is it bad that I want to walk up to the super morbidly obese woman using the cart (that is barely carrying her weight) and say something about bariatric surgery? She is young - or at least she has young children. Her little boy was trying to push her chair so she'd move. ????

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
