My surgery will be April 23 just looking for others who will be starting journey as well maybe we could support each other.....

I had mine on the 16th and I’m questioning why I did this:(. I feel like I feel hunger like real hunger but it could be head hunger... idk. However it does feel real to me. I’m on liquids and trying to get in my Vitamins. I’m 3 days out. Has anyone felt this way?

I think we’ve all felt this way at some point. I know I did. But each day it gets a little bit better.

It’s totally head hunger. I swore I could eat but fortunately was talked out of it. Eating is really a habit and working on not eating at times you usually would sucks! At least to me. The end game is what’s important so hang in there!

It's a been rough the first week out. It does get better, I'm 3 weeks post-op.

I’m looking to connect with anyone having the op on 23 April. So it’s 3 days to go. I’ve been doing great, but suddenly questioning if I’m doing the right thing by having the op. I know it is the right thing but suddenly getting a bit nervous and feeling a bit emotional. Can anyone relate?

Hi! I started my liquid diet 4 days ago! Surgery will be on April 24th. I am here for support and I’ll sure need some in return!

I’m having my Sutton 23 April. Happy to stay in touch for support.

Me!! I'm having the gastric sleeve April 16th! I'm in Northglenn, Colorado.

Natasha0820,

How did your surgery go? Your surgery was 04/16/18, right? Would love to hear more about your journey and follow your progress, esp since we're both in CO! All my insurance requirements were met at the beginning of the month. I'm now waiting for my surgeon's office to submit and to see if I get approved. Hoping to get sleeved right after Memorial Day.

All the best,

Nat2.0

My surgery is the 26th..... I’m a nurse at a psychiatric inpatient hospital... today has been really stressful.... my anxiety is already up in relation to the upcoming surgery . There was chocolate candy everywhere..... and realized when I’m this stressed and anxious I normally self medicate with chocolate! I didn’t give in pushed through, and very proud, but worried how am I going to break this relationship between my stress and food.... that’s how I got here!

I definitely understand. My surgery is on the 25th and I'm on Day 10 of my pre-op diet. I have been faced with temptation almost every one of these past 10 days...chocolate/cookies/cake/doughnuts in the office; smelling McDonald's french fries, etc. I have been strong by focusing my attention on the outcome. I keep saying to myself "I'm almost there!" So far, it's worked for me. Wishing you the very best.

I'm 3 weeks post-op my Uncle was craving Popeyes chicken...which I always loved. He asked me to pick some up and of course the drive-thru line was...super long. I had to go in....ohhhhh nooooo. I went in and felt nothing. The combo meals I use to love, the smell was quite sickening. Preference changes so quickly on the other side of surgery. Being able to say NO to food gets easier.

Happy to hear Popeyes and you got a divorce. I've always wanted to fill a suit against,Mickey D and Burger King for traveling with my affections . Our buddy,in California is torn between filing a similar suit against CarlsJr and Whattaburger or Must,have Uncle Vito rub them out. Think he had better just go inside, cause if he goes through the drive-in he's lost too!?
