I'm 3-days post op. My cravings have gone since I'm sore from surgery. I can barely stomach anything including Water right now. Yes, I feel full even after a sip of water. My nurse & doctor said I can only take Tylenol now. I hope I don't gain weight again. Height 5'0" Weight for WLS consultation: 216 lbs.

You look amazing! Your body type is similar to mine & it's motivating to see how much changed in 8 short months. Thank you! Height 5'0" Weight for WLS consultation: 216 lbs.

That's far-fetched "all the glory overshadow the people that are hurting, dying, in, and out of the hospital". The hospital I had my sleeve done has ZERO fatalities. And this is surgery, what do you expect? There are always risks to going under the knife. And your comment about divorcing? That's why you make sure you have supportive people around you. If someone divorces you for this, they didn't hold their vow to stay with you through thick & thin. You're over generalizing. Height 5'0" Weight for WLS consultation: 216 lbs.

I'm 3 days post op. My 1st two days I had "sleever's regret" but that's because I'm in so much pain. I'm better today now that I'm home comfortable. It hurts but I know in the long run it will pay off. Height 5'0" Weight for WLS consultation: 216 lbs. Surgery date: 2/13/17 Goal: - 71 lbs for healthy BMI (about 145 lbs).

Gas-X worked for me, the next step is making a bowel movement. My nurse said miralax will work. I'm still swollen since I'm only 4 days post-op but my boobs are sore too.

I'm on in since I'm on the two week pre-op & I don't want to be malnourished. I take chewy calcium twice a day from Bariatric Advantage. 1 multivitamin a day from Unjury. 1 iron before bed.

My procedure is next week. I'm only taking a week off from work & college. The nurse said as long as I don't lift over 20 lbs within 6 weeks, I'll be fine.

I'm not a yogurt fan but I bet I'll be willing to eat it since I have limited choice post-op. My nutritionist also says Oikos Triple Zero is really good. Can't wait to try it.

Hello, I'm on Day 3 of the 2-weeks pre-op liquid diet. Day 1 was hard, Day 2 seemed okay. Now it's the evening of Day 3 and I'm cranky and hungry. I sip on diet Snapple and Premier Protein all day and night but tonight it's really hitting me that I'm not eating. I feel like my sense of smell got stronger too because I smell food. I even smell what I'm craving (shrimp tempura, fried chicken, chocolate, burritos, & quesadillas). I have not cheated. I don't want to cheat because I don't want to risk being open in the operating room just to close my stomach and say I can't get the surgery done. How long did it take for you to get used to this? Like, what day of this pre-op liquid diet were you finally fine? I can't wait for that day. This will be a long two weeks. Height 5'0" Weight for consultation: 216 lbs.

Thank you all for your encouragement. I do keep it in mind that this is temporary. I can't wait for post-op when they cut the hunger hormone out too. I can't wait for the post-op @@GrrlAnn . I always here it's so much easier after surgery. It's great that you can consume all that liquid. I heard that's hard post-op. Height 5'0" Weight for WLS consultation: 216 lbs.

@@Sunshine4247 I'm not focusing on food. It's all around me. I smell it when I come home when my neighbors are cooking, I smell it when I work (I'm in the grocery industry at that), and when I drive (BBQ smell, Mexican food, etc...). Someone in class was eating before class started & the aroma of the food was so strong. So, I'm not focusing on food. I see & smell it everywhere I go. I can't lock myself at home until surgery. I still have to be productive outside by going to work and school. Height 5'0" Weight for consultation: 216 lbs. Pre-op Weight: Unknown until January 20th. My profile picture is not me.

I've been a yo yo dieter. Low carb, high Protein I've done so many times. It's time to end this yo-yo-ing for good & get this needed surgery. I believe that TV show only shows the extreme. Any type of surgery has a risk of complications. You just have to do what feels rights in your heart. It's scary but so many people have survived & you're healthy, no diabetes or health issues. You have a better chance of healing good because of that. Height 5'0" Weight for consultation: 216 lbs. Pre-op Weight: Unknown until January 20th. My profile picture is not me.

I'm 2 days before you. 2/13. I'm not nervous I just want it over with because I'm on day 2 of the 2-week pre-op liquid diet & I'm tired as hell & hungry. Good luck to us! Our time is almost here.

I'm on day 2, & my pre-op liquid diet is for 2 weeks. It's so hard, my energy is low. But I keep telling myself there is an end date & it's all for a very good reason. We can do it.hang in there.

Excellent! I'm going to give my nosey boss my doctor's note tonight & some co-workers are covering my shift for the week I'm gone.

My significant other & close friend know I'm getting the surgery. No one else does. I played around with the thought of telling when I told my hairstylist "I think I should get weight loss surgery" & she said I wouldn't qualify & that I could lose weight on my own since I'm not that big :eye roll:: little did she know I was approved. I can't stand people's negativity. So, I'm keeping this a secret. My surgery isn't till next month but I post my workouts & healthy food on social media so people will believe I'm doing "the norm". That's all I'll say to people. I'm eating healthy by cutting carbs, working out, & stopped drinking Diet Coke. Height 5'0" Weight for consultation: 216 lbs. Pre-op Weight: Unknown until January 20th.
