Thanks! I couldn't figure out how to post the link lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You must read my post on this subject. I don't no how to attach it to you but you can find it if you click on my posts. There are some fantastic comments in there to my post. I am also only telling my husband mom and aunt. My sisters I will tell as well. (I'm sure my mother already did) lol. But these are all close family I see on a daily basis other then that no one will no. I'm still in the air as to what I'm going to tell ppl about the surgery itself. Some suggested saying hiatal hernia repair. But as far as explaining liquid diets and lack of food I'm just being honest im saying I'm on a serious diet. During the liquid phase I'm going to use the Protein shake/ cleanse diet fad. "It's my cleanse day sorry" lol good luck and check out my post! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi!!! So my surgeon actually doesn't require a pre op diet. I just can't eat or drink anything after midnight the night before the operation. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Kranky thank you so much. This is so helpful! Now for your flinstone Vitamins do you take the flintstones complete? So I had one nutritionist tell me just one a day. Then the other day at my pre op class the nutritionist said "flintsones are made for kids" lol I felt like an idiot the way she said it. My other nutritionist told me one a day and take it with my kids so we're in the routine together. So then the new NUT said you can take it but I'd have to take 2. So you are taking 2 of them one during the day and one at night. My instructions on the label of the Vitamin says adults and children over 4 take 1 a day. I'm going to have to ask call them and double check as well. That's what I bought so I'm glad I'm not the only one. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The hernia is a good "surgery" excuse since so many ppl get hernia repair during surgery anyway it's not a lie lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It's awesome when you have someone in the family who can relate. Two of my aunts have had wls. I'll be telling them. One knows the other I just haven't seen since I decided to do this. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes the liquid stage may be difficult to attend functions. However I know last year 2 different cousins had no solid food at Easter dinner bc they were doing that Isagenix stuff. They just had their shakes. So I could just stick to "its my cleanse day" no solids for me as they did. Slim shady awesome post thank you for your feedback. It's in fact the truth that our lifestyle changes this surgery is the tool to get us there. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

April 28 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Some people hate on what they don't understand and also on what they don't have the courage to do themselves. Most people's judgements come out in cover up of their own insecurities. Take it in stride and go on with your bad self. Lol we got this!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That's perfect I'm thinking I will also do something of that nature. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Someone posted about starting to amp up their social media pages about dieting and exercising. I'm usually quiet about that stuff when I do it but that might be a good way to keep from the question after we've lost the weight. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I found its best to keep it to myself. I'm already in my own head I don't need anyone else in there. Even the supportive family I've told can make annoying comments. I can't imagine the comments from other ppl. I'm doing this for me. I'm getting in my zone mentally and I can't let anyone else right now. After ward maybe I will feel differently.

I plan on bringing shakes and using the liquid diet excuse it's a fad right now anyway. So many people are on this Protein shake cleanse diets. I just got my surgery date and it looks like I'm in for April 28th I'm so excited. 2 weeks after my surgery I am the chaperone for my sons kindergarten class trip to the local zoo. If I seam off or tired while there to the other moms etc I planning on saying I just a hernial repair. Lol idk I'm still in the air with the surgery excuse I'm going to use but I know chances are I'm going to have to say something about having a surgery it just won't be the whole truth again lol. Good luck!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi Michele! Welcome! I'm scheduled 9 days after you! Is your pre op diet strictly liquid? For some reason My surgeon doesn't require pre op diet. I'm going to start my own diet before hand though. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Good luck! My aunt had surgery with nusbaum she loved him!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Exactly once it's done tell who you want but leading up lol When's your date? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It's true it's really not anyone else's business. When is everyone's surgery date? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you!!! And no kidding. That's the plan! My wife says she can't even begin to say it without laughing hahaha. In my life the only people who would ask are the same people who would yell "tidal wave" when I jumped in the pool last year... So SCREW THEM! They don't deserve the truth!!! I only told my mom, wife, and best friend. Boom! Love love love it!!! So awesome! And yes SCREW THEM!!! I can already tell you are going to do fantastic! When is your surgery date? Im so excited I can't! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Sleeved 3/29/16. One week ago tomorrow. liquid and Protein intake on target. Zero pain from surgery. I felt soooo good on Saturday that I helped coach my sons lacrosse team. Warning: 5 days on your butt followed by 3 hours on your feet results in a sprained ankle! No joke. It's the only thing keeping me from being 100% back to routine. That's awesome good for you! I'm so happy to hear this. I have 3 small sons to keep up with and they don't stop for anything haha I hope I'll do as great as you. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
