I was sleeved on 2/29 and I'm am in the creamy side of the post op diet and I too have felt the feeling of being too full and it hurts so much. My only thing is I set a goal before surgey to drink 96 to 100 oz of water a day and now I can't even get a whole bottle of water down so I end up eating a ton ( maybe 6/8 ) SF Popsicle just to feel satisfied. Am I crazy?!?!? I am still trying to figure this stuff out on my own since I was sleeved in Mexico and do not have a support group here!

Trust me you can do this!! I was were you we're just last week. I am now 6 days post op and it is still tough but I can tell you that this stage is getting you ready for the next stages. I was with a couple of girls that were sleeved on the same day as me and in my conventions with them they told me that they turned in the wrong amount of weight for pre op so that way they could cheat and not get caught. Well I don't know if that had anything to do with it but they all got sick and was throwing up after surgery sand I have not gotten sick once!! Just keep drinking your water and it will help with the hunger pains away!!

Today I Started my three day liquid diet stage before the surgery. It hasn't been too bad. Actually I am pretty proud of myself my family has not been the greatest about not pigging out in front of me so the temptation has been right in my face!! Does anybody remember how this part feels? The only thing that I can figure out is my body is making adjustments for not having food. It feels like my stomach is empty but slushy, I'm terrible at trying to explain how It is. Anyway only three more days to surgery. :)

Thank you all for the support. The only thing im kind of worried is flying on a what feels like an empty stomach. I get very car sick and although I have flown before it has never been while starving!! Haha Me and my husband are leaving in the morning for Nashville to fly to California and then to Mexico! Surgery is on the 29th Thank you all for your kind words and I will be checking in soon!!

Congrats!!! You look great!!!

Hello everyone! I have finally gotten up the nerve to post my store. I found this sight about a month ago and as my family says I have been "creeping" on all of your story's. I can't begin to tell you how much they have helped me. I will just try and tell the short version. Haha........ I have tryed for years to get insurance to cover the lap band surgery. Three deferent times I had went through all the steps just to get turned down. So this year for Christmas my wonderful husband of 14 years surprised me with all the paperwork and schedule surgery in Tijuana Mexico!!! Of corse when I realized what it was I so shocked and then found out where it was going to take place I was scared out of my mind!!! But knowing my husband he put a lot of time and research into find the correct Doctor, and I'm happy to say with MY research too, Dr Ortiz with the OCC is going to be doing my surgery. In the process of all my studies I have decided that the band is not at all what I needed or wanted in my body.( And again keep in mind I'm trying to make this short.) I feel like the gastric sleeve is the best choice for me, but doing this with out a support group and from such a long distance is scary. I am on my 6th day of my presurgry diet and about to go crazy!! I have read a lot of other people's diet and it is nothing like mine!! I have to have 14 days of two shakes a day and one small weight watchers dinner for supper. I can have as much as I want of raw or stemmed vegetables as long as there GREEN!! For me that means about three to four things!!! Blaaa!! I have to keep telling myself that nothing is easy and this is just the start! Thank you for all of your great stories and help! I look forward to making new sleeve buddies!!
