I had to attend 6 mindful eating classes, see a nutritionist and psychologist. I had to lose 10#'s for surgery goal weight. My orientation was September 9. I got my surgery date my Surgery date December 28th. I choose Feb 9th. I could of had it on January 19th but I have things planned and didn't want to risk not being able to attend. I have blood tests on January 16, get a physical and meet one more time with surgeon.Then I do the 2 week 800 calories a day pre-op diet. I'm at Fresno Kaiser.

Before you go back to just liquids try staying on plan and maybe a little more exercise. liquid diet is not a long term solution. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

Ask you surgeon. Mine would prefer we never drink but said wait at least 8 months. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

Stick with your plan. If you can't do it now how will you do it later? I'm having my surgery Feb 9th. My plan allows 800 calories a day. No sugar or starch. It may be difficult but we can do this Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

I was told that as long as the pill is no larger than a pencil eraser I could swallow it whole. If bigger must crush. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

Hi everyone I just got a call from my bariatric team. My surgery is February 9th. I could of had it on Jan 12th but my best friends 50th b-day weekend is 1/20 - 1/23. I decided that will be my last party weekend. I'll start my pre-op diet on the 25th. I'm excited, scared and more excited. Lol My 50th b-day is March 30th. This surgery is going to be the best gift I've ever given myself Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

Are you drinking enough Water? Try drinking water when hunger pain comes. Wait 15 min and ask yourself if you really are hungry? If so eat an approved snack. I haven't had my surgery yet. I have a Premier shake daily for Breakfast. I can go 4 to 5 hrs without eating but I am drinking lots of water in between. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

I gained weight (about 10#'s) to qualify for surgery. I have been bouncing around 240 and 220 for over 2 years. I was at 243 at the my first visit to bariatric department. 238 when I met with surgeon. He gave me a surgery goal weight of 227. I am currently at 225.1. I am now waiting for surgery date.

You need to remind yourself why you had major surgery. You've been through so much. Put that junk that you are stuffing in your face in the trash and to the curb. If it's not in the house you can't eat it. You've got to get yourself together and back on track. I highly recommend a therapist. Couldn't live without mine You can do this.

Call your surgeon Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

Are you taking tiny sips and drinking slowly? I haven't had my surgery yet. But from what I've learned here and at my classes this is the best way to drink. I'm sure someone who has experience will give you some tips. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T337A using the BariatricPal App

I was wondering the same exact thing. My bariatric team makes you jump thru hoops preparing you for life after surgery. Sometimes I just have to shake my head and wonder what the heck? Also makes me thankful for the hoops Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

Awesome accomplishment. Keep up the good work. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

She's being silly/funny. It's the last thing on her mind. She wasn't asking if others were doing it. She did mention reading some comments about subject. I myself haven't. So maybe that was part of the silliness. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App

I made surgery goal weight Oct 1st. I only have one more required class them I should be cleared for surgery. I am currently 3#'s below required surgery weight. I have a shake for Breakfast and a high protien lunch. dinner is whatever I want. I weigh daily to be sure I'm not gaining. I know with the pre-op diet I will lose some more.
