    What I want to believe

    Hey Jan17, I have struggled as well, setting at 240 for many years. Bottom line is, I bounced up and down on my weight for years and have finally decided to at 60 years old to go forward with the surgery. I have now developed three illnesses probably all caused by my weight I'm gonna fix this and add many years to my life. I've also decided to become more active and enjoy what life I have left with traveling and scuba diving and any other activities I want to do, my weight won't stop me. My surgery is in two days.

    I got my surgery date October 11

    Wanted to see if anyone else has that date or close to it so we can do the pre-op together. I also have to have my gallbladder removed. I excited and scared at the same time. I was reading an article yesterday that says individuals that undergo weight loss surgery will start to regain after 5 years. I'm not sure of the percentage but it was rather high. I been reading other post on here and hearing a lot of people being disappointed in having hunger come back and have to be prescribed appetite suppressants. I can't understand how the hunger comes back if you have the surgery. Is it true that the stomach stretches? Some say yes, some say no. This is a major surgery and I'm paying out of pocket so this is a major investment for me. Just want to see how others are feeling about all this...

    I think you should be fine. You'll be a week in a half out. Going off of my experience all my pain was gone and I had a good amount of energy when I hit a week in a half. I was sleeved on 9-12 and I don't take any of my pain meds anymore. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

    Solid food

    I'm the same way. I can barely eat 3oz of anything dense. I feel stuffed, yet satisfied. I don't mind it because I enjoy the food just as much as before. The most I've eaten of anything is 5.3oz of yogurt. Sent from my XT1254 using BariatricPal mobile app

    I’m so sorry that you are dealing with this. How stressful. [emoji25]. Have you thought about changing pcps (again) I don’t what kind of doctor says I’m going to ruin your day, drop a bomb on you and then leave you hanging. It’s your right to get a second opinion. I hope everything turns out ok 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

    Cream Soups

    Cream soups to me were anything like Cream of Chicken, Cream of Mushroom (blended), Cream of Cheddar, Creamy Carrot, Broccoli Cheddar (strained) or Tomato. I ate a lot of Cream of Chicken on my full liquid and pureed diet.

    Need a buddy

    Hang in there and gradually change your bad habits. Example: I no longer eat while watching tv anymore. I notice that I over eat when I do that. Also, I've been working on chewing my food thoroughly before swallowing it. I hope that helps.

    Belching

    I'm two weeks post op and have realized when I over eat or eat too fast I will burp. This is a warning sign to slow down or stop eating.
