Recommended Posts

I completely understand!

Surgery on June 13, and this diet is not easy, but at the end of the day, we all are one step closer

to living such a better life

I constantly look at before and after photos, and read stories of sleevers that are 3 or more years out and look how amazing they look and read all their tips and advice........find something to keep your mind and body busy..........its much easier that

way

I have cleaned my bedroom, my bathroom, and my closet..........

organized the refrigerator, and weeded and mulched the flower beds all in the last 7 days!

You GO girl~

OH YES, I feel ya! June 14 is my surgery date and shrinking the liver is not easy, and I overthink everything, so I was like, "Do I really need this", I'm going to Google it and see what it says about the shrinking liver.diet that you have to have before your surgery, if it's good or bad or if they just tell you that you need to do it, and it's the best thing to do so that the doctor don't hit your liver, Google has a lot of information if you want to Google it and read all the information so yeah after that I'm sure thinking I really need to do the liquid diet to shrink my liver so that I'll have no complications with my surgery, I'm in the same boat as you and We Can Do IT!

Nothing you are doing to prepare for surgery is "killing you"... it's preparing you for rebirth. Every day is one step closer to your new life. Your new energy. Your new way of fitting into the world. Your new way of looking at food. You can do this, YOU CAN DO THIS.

YOU GOT THIS!

Well said !!!!

I was sleeved May20, 2016 so I am 20 days post OP... I must admit it was VERY discouraging in the beginning. The pre-op and the Post Op diets as well. I had virtually a pain free procedure, only taking pain meds the 1st day. 2 days ago I was so upset that I had this surgery, but TODAY!!!! 20 must be the lucky number bc I finally feel AWESOME. So just keep pressing and seeking support. Take your Vitamins, gallbladder and gas meds and follow surgeons orders. It is well worth it in the end. GOOD LUCK...@@Km77942009

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
