Aww, @@missymac, I totally know and understand where you are right now. You will have those minor set backs, but know the reason why we had the surgery and look at the bigger picture! Nuts are ok, and if you want to curve that sweet crave, get the SF fudge pops. They're actually good and can't really taste the difference. I encourage you to push forward and give yourself some self talks! We're here for you!

Just dropping in to say hello to my fellow sleevers!! it's been two months since my surgery! My body is still adjusting and my mind is trying to catch up! Lol... I still struggle with foods that I once ate, but not too much of a problem, it's like I'll think about it thenas fast as it came, it went just as fast.

Im VERY discourged right now! Iwas told by my Dr that i need to be down 12-20 pounds before my surgery and Im only down 10. His asst has told me that he is known for postponing surgeries if the required weight isnt off. Not to mention my surgery date is Wed. 31st and i ran outta protien shake and went and bought isopure and it is GROSSSSSSS. Cant even stomach the smell. I dont know what to do. Maybe stressing will cause the weight to fall off !! Any suggestions?? Oh, also bought a whey protien and its way too sweet! Feel like im wasting money, and the shake from my dr is 65.00

you have 3 days my Dr. had me on high protein slim fast all liquid. I didn't have a set weight loss amount my suggestion is to do all liquid and only water and excersice every day, when you go to weigh if you do so in the am hold off on eating and drinking until after the weigh in it's just 2lbs it could come off as water weight over night.

So he postpones the surgery? Is that the end of the world? It gives you more time to prepare. Do the best you can. Also instead of buying full sizes. Buy single serving packs. You can order some online, buy them at drug stores like CVS, stores like GNC & Vitamin Shoppe and even Whole Foods. Lastly I agree with the suggestion to do 2 shakes and 1 sensible meal. If you can do a good olive oil and balsamic vinegar instead of a dressing even better. Then make sure you take a walk for at least 30 minutes each day. Lastly drink water until you feel you are about to float away.This pre-op phase is just the start so you may as well start disciplining yourself now

I agree with BLERDgirl: please don't be discouraged. My surgery was postponed a week due my surgeon having to deal with an emergency and it felt like the end of the world. However that extra week gave me time to get rid of a very heavy cold which might have prevented me from having having surgery at all!
If your surgery is postponed just see it as being given extra time to prepare. It WILL HAPPEN!!
We have to drink the shakes- there is no getting away from it but it is only temporary. Try to go with the process and tell yourself that each shake you take is your passport to lifelong health.
Best of luck with your surgery and beyond xx

I wish everyone well this Christmas as well as everyone that will be soon sleeved!!!

Any December 30th Sleevers ?!
Pr33ty Heard replied to hootney1214's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Are there any smokers who are struggling as I am to stop smoking before surgery??!! I have the diet under control, but the smoking is kicking butt!!! I have two weeks before my surgery and my Dr has already informed me that if I haven't stopped by the time of surgery he will postpone me. Nooooooooooo I can't have that, yet it's a challenge for me and VERY hard!! Any suggestions ANYONE? -
Can anyone help me with this pre op diet? I am exercising and drinking a protein shake once a day, however I am scared to eat or drink anything bc I have less than a month to lose 15-20 pounds. Can someone suggest things to eat that will help lose the 15-20? I would greatly appreciate the help. Thanks in advance!

@@Elode I too think it's a scare tactic as well as making sure that I will be able to change my diet after the surgery, however, I'm willing to change it bc I'm just tired of the excess weight! Yes, I'm inquiring of both, the before and after. -

@@Elode Nevermind to the first question, I see you had your surgery in Nov. How was it for you and how is it now for you? What should I expect being that I have 3 weeks. -

@@Elode have you already had your surgery? She even told me that if I didnt lose the weight my Dr would cancel the surgery. Have you ever heard of that?
