Hang in there it will get a little easier, when all Is said and done you will have some head hunger, but your commitment to your pre op will win, and of course staying busy helps 100%, plus your burning calories with heavy sweating and moving. God Bless

Karen, that will be great your sister being there for you, I always wished I had a sister, but I got my Hubby! I am on my pre op now and again its not bad I have been such a snacker, girl I am worst than any kid, so I am missing that comfort of snacking and chewing on Bit o Honey and cookies and crap like that, so I have chosen to eat healthier for a better and healthier me, I eat now my protein shakes in the morning and I have Activia light peach yogurt, and Jell-O makes a living healthy fat free chocolate pudding, so I get it in just healthier, I don't over indulge in the pudding and yogurts and fruits I will eat my portion and I am satisfied, you mentioned pureeing tuna or chicken, you think you will like it? have you thought about baby food? I may do baby food vegetables and fruits post op, but pureed tuna...you a tough a lady if you get that down, let me no how it goes, so you know Im not being smarty pants, oh yeah gas x it's a must have and I think even Tums /wcalcium, I am so anxious and just ready to do this I look forward to my wl and smaller portion I know it will be rough post op but atleast will be getting good pain meds while inpt and from other post op there saying the pain gets better a few days out.

Hi Karen and Congrats on your approval and surgery date! I totally understand it is the best feeling, I will follow your journey too and my surgery date is July 12th, but we all benefit from each others stories/journey, keep us posted of your pre op visits, I am waiting on the call from the hospital to tell me the time I sure hope its early morning, it would be nice, but I do no I will have a 2 day admit, and I am believing God all will be well for all of US! its funny because when I get on this site and the gastricsleeve.com site I get super excited and extremely anxious for this to hurry up like a kid at Christmas! other wise I am focused on my pre op diet, its starting to kick in now this is my 1st week and I am getting the head aches, but I can eat lean meat and vegetables and fruits just no carbs, But there are some healthy carbs right?...lol...lol, but I am hanging in there cause I want to and I need to actually I have to , but take care.

Congrats on your weight loss success, I am sure it is a wonderful feeling of accomplishment when you see the change in your body and your health, keep up the good work and keep us posted, I am awaiting my revision from Lapband to VSG surgery on July 12th I am on my pre op diet which is not bad I must do all lean proteins and fruits and vegetables, and my vitamins but No Carbs, its funny because there are good carbs and then the obvious ones...lol so I am learning to do this all over again and I must do it the right way, well you continue on your Journey and I wish you the Best.
