How long before you were able to kick BP Meds to the curb? I have been on them about 10 years and have had some really low readings at times since surgery. I also suspect they create a little weight gain. Looking forward to being off these in the near future!

Yay great news!!😊 My surgery date is next Thursday. So I'm 8 days away. I'm not nervous yet. They canceled and the rescheduled me a few weeks ago when I was 4 days away. My mother passed away from covid and my surgery date previously was scheduled around her funeral. Then when they found out I went to her funeral even though they scheduled it that way they canceled me. My mom was about 400 lb. They couldn't turn her on her stomach and the covid took her faster. I'm so scared to be that way even though the surgery for me is not weight related but medically related. My family genetics take all the family that way once they hit my age. I'm 52. I've done everything I can to talk myself out of this surgery but I have gastroparesis and I'm miserable every day, food is not my friend. I'm doing the gastric sleeve to reshape my stomach and make eating work for me instead of against me. And thinking about my mom my grandmother all my aunts and uncles and all of their weight related health problems it motivates me to keep moving forward. Knowing that after the surgery those will never be part of my future.

I had to up my water intake to a gallon a day, and take 5 fiber gummies, to solve the constipation problem.

Almonds are mostly fat and protien, you probably didn't do any harm. Shake it off, recommit to finish strong:) No worries.

Same here! Tomorrow is the big day!

LOL so true. I haven't seen my face thin in about 10-15 years...so yeah, I def look older than that. lololzz.

I mean these are starting at Phase 5. I only looked it up because eventually I will have to eat it even if it’s while traveling I won’t always have a kitchen with me but be mindful you won’t eat it all and the best ones are on top and if it’s fried they cut the potion down although we should avoid fried foods 🤷🏽‍♀️

I did a 2-week liquid diet (protein shakes) with no solid food at all. As others have said, it gets easier after a few days. Also, you won't feel this hungry again for months after your surgery.

I got a Tentative March 2 surgery date. Elective surgeries are on hold due to covid, but I'm sure they'll be up and running in a couple of weeks. Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app
