Why would you want to be like everyone else?!

Hi kristin....i just you d this app and I think I am glad I did, I too will have surgery tomorrow and I am concerned. All the things I am reading everyone did a 2 week pre-op diet, my doctor only had me do a 7 day one. Guess it's too late now since my surgery is scheduled for 8:45am..

Thanks. It does everyday.

Hello, My weight on Nov 14, 2016 (the day of surgery) was 306. I am currently at 209 pounds and it's been 10 months since my sleeve surgery. Last month I lost almost 15 pounds. I am 5'7" and 46 years old. My doctor says he expects me to reach 160 pounds at around the 2 year mark. So I sould continue to lose weight even though the rate at which I lose it will slow. I am thrilled with the weight loss and if I didn't lose anymore, I would actually be okay with that.

I second the suggestion to get up early and do your workout. If I didn't run before work I am sure there would be many days where I just wouldn't feel like doing it after. It really does give me more energy and I feel so much better on the days I run.

Mine was outpatient. I actually handled it really well. Have you had abdominal surgery before? Maybe you had a lot of scar tissue? Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

I was sleeved a few days ago, and currently have zero desire to eat! I'm on full liquids now, so I am sticking to the premier protein shakes. I'm really surprised at how good I am feeling. I hope it lasts!

I do experience hunger. But some liquids seem to quench it now. Most of all, many of my cravings have calmed down. My biggest challenge will be this weekend. High school football Friday. Then Saturday going to watch my daughter March in her college marching band. I will be wanting some nachos so bad!

well, I just don't crave some of the junk I wanted before. fried food doesn't feel real good in my stomach, even if I take the coating off - so that is a no go, and I find I really want the lean Protein and veg. before I would eat huge quantities of foods. now if I do have something (say it's someones birthday and I take a slice of cake) I might have a bite or two and not even finish the piece. before I'd have had a piece and if asked to take some home I would have said yes please. it's a whole different world. for me, I used to be diabetic, and I think the diabetes drives a desire for simple carbs - and with that gone and normal blood sugars I just don't feel the love for it anymore. it feels great to have normal blood sugar all the time. as for chocolate, when I want the chocolate - I have a Protein shake I like a really lot and a triple chocolate power crunch protein bar. so, there are some things you find an alternative that meets with your nutritional goals. as a bonus my chronically too thin teenage daughter likes them, and will often share an extra large protein shake with me on the way to school/work so she is getting some extra nutrition, protein and calories too. better than her picking up my old coca cola habit!
