What I am not over. Actually can't get enough of it. That I am healthy active and hot. Yup at 8 months out I am a normal BMI and a very hot size 4/6. These early days are hard no doubt and I still occasionally I will get diarrhea or Constipation but I did before surgery too. It is less often because I eat healthier. Please stay positive because it is worth it!

@@katieroybal have you tried adding a probiotic? I have a chewable one from Bariatric Advantage. It may help with the diarrhea.

I am over this pre op diet!!! shakes and bars that are too sweet. The only thing not sweet is the Water. And that seems to be all I can get down without gagging. 3 days down, 11 more to go.

I know that feeling. My kids ate pizza today and I just had serve and watch. But since the surgery I don't see the same. It's more of the memory of how it made me feel. Oh, I'm so sick of Water.

I take two stool softeners a day. and Milk of Magnesia once a week. which has worked out ok up until this week, doesn't seem to be working anymore. (I'm 9 weeks out today).

For the Constipation (I didn't even think about that), is it recommended that you take a stool softener?

Aloe Water works but not pleasant

Try broth. You've got this!

Unfortunately, broth isn't an option. 3 shakes, 2 bars, 1 black coffee or tea and unlimited Water for 2 weeks. What I would do for a cup of broth right now ;)

I am over this stupid stall. 10 days gone by since I hit Onederland, only to turn around and end up right back at 200 again. I am doing everything my surgeon said to do. I have fibroids and I am seeing my Gyn tomorrow about that. I cannot stand this! It's so frustrating...I don't mind the challenges; they are making me stronger. I do mind the fact that lately this seems like I made the wrong choice to deal with my weight. I never dreamed I'd be stuck at 200 lbs!

I couldn't handle the shakes for every pre-op meal either. I found them especially sweet and repulsive. My surgeon was fine with broth since it is part of a more restrictive (clear liquid) diet. I just added unflavored Protein powder to get my Protein in. If you truly hate the shakes, you might ask if you can start the clear liquid diet early with added unflavored protein. Just be sure to mention that you are willing to add protein to the broth so they wont say they are concerned about you not getting enough protein.

I'm over the post op diet (just started pureed) and being constantly worried that something is wrong because I'm not getting full and am still hungry really quickly after my four ounces of blended whatever. I'm over hearing from my friends who've had WLS over the last year, how full they are after two bites of food while I stress out that something didn't work right for me.

      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.
