I'm 7 months post op & have had no sugar. I was craving chocolate. Had a small chocolate bar & got it out of my system. Hopefully I'll go another 7 months before the craving returns. I walk & work out. Have lost 126 lbs. 74 more to go. If you fall off the wagon a lil just shake it off & get back on track. You'll be fine

5 yrs is ridiculous. Find another doctor. I know every case is different. As soon as I finished all my appts they scheduled my surgery. Took about 3 or 4 months

It's a struggle waiting on insurance & jumping through hoops to make all the appts. But oh so worth it. The 2 week liquid diet is the hardest thing I've ever done. I lost 30 lbs by surgery date. I'm 7 months post op &-have lost 123 lbs. 77 more to go. Feeling great. Daily exercise &-eating healthy is the key. Make it a habit. You are fixing to change your life & feel so much better about yourself

Anything that helps motivate you is good. I have incorporated exercise with healthy eating. And I've made it a habit. I'm 7 months post op &-have lost 123 lbs. 77 more to go. Good Luck to you

I think you can have popsicles on clear broth diet. Sugar free popsicles. I was only on clear broth a couple of days. It's hard but so worth it. I'm 7 months post op & have lost 122 lbs so far.

You're eating more than I got to. I was strictly on protein shakes. If you get hungry drink another shake

Great results. Good Luck to you in the future

Good Luck to you

Normal having anxiety. You will be fine. Time to change your life. It changed mine.

Good Luck to you. I'm 6 months post op &-have lost 112-lbs. It's time to change your life

Congratulations you're well on your way

Contact your Doctor asap!!

Down 112 lbs. Feel 100 percent better. Working out & walking is helping. No complications. Another 112 to go to reach goal weight

@@sparksrn you're not getting enough fluids. 1 bottle is not enough. You can freeze them & sip on them throughout the day. Make sure you get all the protein required of you & increase your water intake to at least 4-bottles. They want you to drink 5. And get outside & walk if only for a few blocks. Every day you will get stronger Sugar free popsicles and fudgesicles are good too

Being on clear liquids is tough. I was in the hospital for 3 days. Couldn't wait to get home &-drink a protein shake. Make sure you get all your protein when you get home. It will promote healing &-give you energy. Congratulations on taking a big step to the new you. I'm 6 months post op & down 112 lbs. Still have 112 to go. Ask any questions. We've been through what you're fixing to go through. Time passes fast & you'll be eating again before you know it.

Thx

I drink Premier. 30 grams of protein

I was in hospital for 3 days. Pain goes away in about a week. They'll give you some good pain medicine. You're pushing it to try to go back to work Thursday. Most people wait a week or so

I got 7 of them today

You look great. Wish I had taken a before picture

Congratulations!! You're doing great. I'm in the office for my check up today. I'm 5 1/2 months post op & have lost 110 lbs. Have another 100 to go.

Drink an extra protein shake if you have to. Sugar free popsicles,sugar free jelly. You'll be on soft foods soon. I was on liquids for 1 month after surgery. 2 weeks before. Hardest thing I've ever done. But you CAN do this. The hunger should go away. Drink at least 3 protein shakes a day. Protein helps you heal & gives you energy. Stay Strong. Eating food at this stage would harm you. You made a decision to change your life & this is part of it. Take it one day at a time. You'll probably be on soft foods at the 2 week stage. Take all your supplements & drink your shakes. There's enough nutrition in your shakes to sustain you. Good Luck to you!! Sugar free jello not jelly

Time passes fast. Do what they tell you to do & don't cheat. The hard part is behind you. You'll be eating real food soon enough. I know it's hard but you can do it. I'm 5 months post op & have lost 108 lbs

Sounds like you answered your own question about whether you need the surgery or not. It will be the best thing you could do for yourself. I'm 5 months post op &-have lost 103 lbs. Good Luck to you

Good for you
