Hello All, I found your forum a day before my 2 week pre-opt diet started. I will be sleeved tomorrow! Help me get through this last day on Clear liquids. The greedy girl in me smells everything people are eating, it is so intense I feel angry. My 2 week pre-op diet has been about 85% accurate. Ive felt like i was on death row, so i nibbled a few items as if it was last meal. But my nerves have not gotten to me yet because I have been reading your post and they have comforted me. My fam will be staying in a nearby hotel, so packing the kids uniforms, gaming devices, clean and organizing have kept me busy slong with my faith. My hubby is not the best nursing type and he is nervous. Thank you for secretly helping through the journey. Super ready to be on the other side. Only told 4 family members and 3 friends. But I work out 5 days a week and have already lost 20 lbs so no one should be super shocked once I return to work in 3 weeks. Peace and blessings!

Thanks for your comments. I made it to the other side. Not regretting a thing, just not liking to even swallow. Almost every sip feels crampy except sf popsicle and warm broth. I can't hit that Water or Protein levels bcuz of the discomfort. I started the process over a year ago at 208! Pre-op appt weighed 195 an d Surgery day I was 180. Nurses would come and say you are small, why didn't you do this on your own? I may have been small er than more Than a few here, but no matter what size, feeling fat, using every resource and tool you can to remove the weight and to feel better about your self and self image with small.temp successes is tiring! Sure I got sad more than enough times looking at pics and it almost seed like someone was always talking pics while I was eating. I've never been the smallest girl in the group. dammit I wanted to be healthy! Feel comfortable meeting people and not someone looking at me saying she be cute if she just lost some weight. Being overweight has no class level, no income level, no discrimination what so ever! It is just a daily condition we must deal with and ultimately it affects you inside and out. I support ppl to do whatever their heart desires to make them feel good about who they are. For all those who are days or weeks away...your new you is waiting on you embrace the journey, follow dr. Directions, take things slow and you will be rewarded. You don't stand alone. Everyone's journey is different, but want we share is the desire to be treated for the person we really are, not our waist size or the size of our butts. I encourage you just as others here have encouraged me!!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using the BariatricPal App
