Wow that was pretty fast. Congrats on getting a date for surgery.

Both please

What did or do you have to do before surgery?

Hello All, It has been a while since I have been on here. I have done ok on my wieght loss but have not been doing very will the past few weeks. I started at 258 and I am down to 214.5 this morning. I have about 7cc in my 10cc band and think I am getting close to the green zone. However I feel unmotivated to go to the gym or eat right. Not sure what happened to my motivation.

Surgery this morning. We got to the hospital about 8:30 this morning. They started getting me prepped for surgery right away. I went in to the OR about 11:15 or so. And was home by 3 pm. My husband and mother were at the hospital with me. I even walk out of the hospital on my own. The gas pain is the worst in my upper chest area. It hurt to take in a deep breath. I have been up and walking around with very little difficulties.

I am very very happy that I am done and can start to eat food again in a week or two. I was stressing over the surget but it went so well. I was blessed for sure.

I cheated in my pre op diet too, but surgery today went well for me. I wish all of you tomorrow the best luck and I will pray for a safe a speedy recovery.

I cheated on my pre-op diet. I did not cheat badly but I am on a liquid diet and I had food. Is this bad? Will they cancel my surgery? I am scheduled for this Thursday at 10:30 am. I feel bad and support system has been doing it best to help me stay on track but most of all I have failed myself. Not happy and scared. What do I do? I feel so down.

Thank you all for your support

How long have you been on the liquid diet?

My goals or wants are To become more healthy To live longer Look better in my cloths Feel better about myself and the way I look Be able to walk up the stairs without my knees hurting To exercise more To run and play with my kids To be able to do what I want and not be limited by my size To go shopping for new cloths in a normal clothing store To be able to get it on with my husband in any position To have more energy To sleep better To fit in the little restrooms in public places

Thank you I hope so I am going to call my drs now and see what I need to do the day before surgey. I have lost wieght about 10+ pounds or so now. Thank you for your support I need it right now

Whe is your vacation? I also go on vacation 30 days after surgery. I was thinking the same thing.

Good Luck ladies on you surgeries let us know how it goes. I have about 1 1/2 weeks left on my liquid diet. I did ok to start out but then over the weekend I was just so hungry. I think it was because I worked hard this weekend cleaning the house before surgery and things it may have made it harder. So now that I am back at work it is not so bad but the people here keep making all kinds of food to sell during the day because we don’t have a cafeteria for the next two weeks. It makes it hard smelling all that good food.

Thank You. Today I am doing much better. I think over the weekend I was much more active than I am normally and that may had help it out some too.

Today when I woke up I was not hungry at all. I made myself eat before we left for church. I got home took a nap then when I got up I was almost starving I could have eaten almost anything. I did not but food I can smell it. I had to make my daughter a hotdog and wow I just wanted a bit so bad. It made my mouth water and everything. This seems sad to me cuz I hate hotdogs. I use to think they were gross and did not eat them too often but now they are making my mouth water lol strange how things work. Wow I just want something more than shakes and soup.

So here it is day three of my liquid diet and I am a little crabby to say the least. I have been under some real stress with school and finals that started today and having a paper due for each of the finals. I have 3 more finals which are on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. So I have tried to get the papers out of the way so that I could study for finals but all I can think about is food. I do get a soup in the evening or at least once a day and I can chose which meal I would like it in. I have been choosing dinner so that I can eat with my family but it is still hard when people are offering food all the time. Today at work there was chips and salsa which I love. I did do good and turned it down but man it was hard and it smelled so good.

Thank you both. Today I just feel more hungry than I have before but I can do this. @ luvemesteelers1- Good luck on your surgery tomorrow. @ lageniafaye thank you I hope I can be that strong.

Congrats

I agree we do need all of us to help each other out,

Good luck to all of you on your surgeries. I am scheduled for May 17. in Albuquerque NM. Please share how everything was for you and how are you doing on the liquids?

Me too, I am so happy and scared all at the same time. I cant wait to see what happens

So I got the call on Friday but could not talk to anyone until today. I found out that I was approved in less than a week and surgery is in just over two weeks. I am very excited and scared. I thought it would be slow just like the rest of this process has been but I was so wrong. I feel bad I was thinking how am I going to get my kids to school, how am i going to start my next term of school and how am i going to feel after this surgery. It seems to be a little over whelming. I am starting my finals in my courses that I am in now. My first final is the day after I start a liquid diet which is this Friday. My husband has been great, but I don’t think he understands how hard all this giving things up is. He says well I have self-control which just makes me mad. I know he is not trying to say I have none but it sure does feel that way at times.
