I was scheduled for the 16th. It was pushed to the 30th because I blew it on the pre op diet. I ate stuff I don't even eat believing I might not have a chance to eat it after the surgery. My a1c was up a little. I learned a lesson . So I'm ready now.

I followed the pre-op to the letter. I was afraid going off plan could hinder healing & add to recovery time.

Being one week post op I wish someone would have told me just how important the pre op diet was. I followed my pre op diet almost perfectly. I realize now that it helped me train my mind on how little I would be able to eat after surgery. I know it is really hard to stick to the pre op diet but it is also really hard to stick to the post op diet. Except post op you won’t be able to cheat because you will hurt yourself. Just remember that it is all going to be worth it in the end!! No pain, no gain. Or in this case no pain, no lose!

Thanks that really helps[emoji173]️
I had the same thing running thru my head. I wasn't expecting to get surgery till end of February beginning of March but, they called this week saying they had a spot open on the 31st.. I kinda felt thrown in at the deep end. Wasn't prepared mentally or with my groceries🤦🏻‍♀️

So important to be prepared. You can do it! I gave all of my food to a friend. Only items I kept were items I could eat on my new diet. Everything else went! It was a little sad but it also felt really great!!

The preop diet was challenging and I honestly didn’t stick to it. I did manage to lose some weight even having a few slip days. I had my sleeve 1/16/18 and I haven’t had any issues sticking to the post op diet. The challenge is cooking for my husband while heating me some broth! But if I can do it anyone can! Good Luck!

Do one anyways! My pre op was two shakes and a small meal. The small meal had to be high Protein, low carb. Snacks had to be either SF popsicles, Jello, or broth.

Good idea! Thank you, I think I will! [emoji175] my surgery is Monday and I cannot wait! I am having my gastric band revised to a sleeve. I just got these adorable pillows in today just in time for my surgery! I’m going to be using them as stomach pillows for when I need to cough or sneeze or laugh.

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
