Hey Shyguy! I was once told” Don’t try to fit in.. find where you belong”! I hear ya on the food part.. I try to stay busy doing anything.. I’d sell my firstborn for a piece of pizza right now! 😂 I’m going to reward myself in the end with a trip somewhere.. so I’m looking up stuff on that. Keep busy! Hang in there! 😊

Thanks. I caved in and had some jelly Beans. Threw the rest away and I'm committed to getting through this with as few slip ups as possible.

Sugar cravings are the worst! You can always reach out! We’re only human.. I had an ice tea.. I’m just trying to stay busy.. I go for walks or start a series on TV. I just finished watching The Boys on Prime that was good. Ive downloaded some games on my phone to play. I re arranged my bedroom yesterday . 😂

Mine will be in 9 days. A gastric sleeve. I guess it is normal to question if I should do this.

Hi madma, I’m the same. I’m a bit nervous now and questioning things but I’m just trying to see myself very thin in a year with great clothes and a healthy self esteem..

What happens if you mess up on liquid diet?

Hi Bridge, I messed up yesterday and had a piece of bread. I couldn’t take the nausea and throwing up anymore. I read that it depends how close you are to surgery. The Dr will know right away if you ate and prob not be able to proceed with food in your stomach or intestines. That would suck having to do it all over again. 🙄 I was told to double down and get the food out of you ASAP. I hope this helps

Hi everyone... had my surgery on July 6th - Gastric Bypass. I am doing well. It definitely wasn't as terrible as I had pictured in mind. It's been pretty easy actually. No pain or pain meds. Incisions areas just sore/tender but that's it. Getting around 60 ounces of liquid + 1 Jello cup + 2 teaspoons of yogurt + a little broth. Knock on wood, haven't had any nausea or vomiting.

I was a nervous wreck 2 days before and even that morning was still anxious but not as nervous as the day before. Excited to see where this journey takes. Happy to answer any questions if anyone has any.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
