I've heard that a lot as long as it don't change with my veggies I love Brussels sprouts I sometimes just eat them as a meal they r my absolute favorite lol but I can handle not liking things it might make things easier I'm sure. I am not alllowed to have caffeinated coffee after surgery but never been a coffee drinker can't have alcohol but not a drinker either can't smoke but not a smoker anymore had to quit to be considered for the surgery so I quit 7 months ago when I started my classes ect. I have lost 26 lbs so far just following advise of the nutritionist. Hoping time flies. I'm ready lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Pre-Op steps, not sure if doing the right thing.
genn replied to TexasguyEP's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions
Every surgeon and office is completely different but most of them just wanna see that you are learning healthier ways and willing to change and it sounds like you are on a great start with all of this keep up the good work this is not the easy way out like a lot of people think it's hard work mentally and physically lots of luck!!

I know everyone is human and everyone makes mistakes but I want to share something my surgeon has told me that when I start my pre next week it's gunna help me make the right choices. Last year they had someone that cheated on they're diet and never told them to make a long story short they almost lost her. She was in the icu for three months. U have to think u r not just risking ur life. But everyone in that surgical room is put at risk also. Just imagine they're discussions when something goes wrong in there. can we save her. We have to save her. How will they live everyday seeing that girl in they're head if they hadn't saved her. Bc of her own mistake they were all put at stake. The nurses the surgical team EVERYONE. Not hounding on anyone but before you make your decisions maybe think of that scenario and that it's not just ur life that can be affected by ur choice. Gl to all and hope that helps bc it definitely is gunna help me!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It's completely normal to think and rethink it I started looking into doing this 5 years ago had the paper work to inquire about it had a referral my dr suggested it in five years my fibromyalgia got worse bc my weight got heavier I was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease which took its toll bc of my weight. High blood pressure and most of all my energy depleted bc of all my health problems I then started getting depressed bc of being in pain all the time bc of how much weight I'm carrying around I want me back nov 22 will start my journey to get the old me back I'm taking my life back I wouldn't care if King Kong looked at me and said ur not fat enough I love my life I feel my pain and I want me back again not only for my happiness but so my kids have they're mom to walk them down the isle one day. Only you know how you feel I WISH I would never have backed out then 80 more lbs heavier and now I'm doing it. You always have support on here. Do what makes you happy and healthy!!!
