Hello everyone! I've had the gastric sleeve. Since having the surgery and losing weight, I've decided to focus my Health Coaching practice on Bariatric Patients. I know how hard it can be dealing with all the changes and all the emotions that come with it. I'm giving away free 30min consultations for a limited time to those who feel like they could use some guidance. Please reach out to me if you'd like to schedule a free consultation! Lisagoberlmt@gmail.com thank you! Lisa (leelu) 🙏🏻❤️🌸

I'm on day 6, and I feel like it's a lot easier.. those first 4 days were brutal.. but just take it day to day

Hey Quinn, I'm on the 22nd with you. I'm on day 6 of liquids.. super excited about the surgery next week, and I've dropped at least 10lbs in the last 6days of liquids already. I have to keep pulling up my pants! Lol

That certainly helps keep things in perspective! Good point! I'm going to look forward to that as well!

That's a great way to think of it. I'm gonna have to remember t.. I'm also in my last days of food until I start my liquids on the 8th.. and I've been allowing myself to enjoy things one more time, but I'm also realizing that, like sugar.. ice cream or pizza, or whatever, once I have some, it's just ok.. it's more the idea of it, built up in my mind something super wonderful, and then I eat it, and it's just pizza... not special, just pizza. lol.. so yeah, even though i start liquids on Wednesday, I think today, I will enjoy food- as it super bowl, but tomorrow and Tuesday cut back down and prepare for a different me, who doesn't need food to enjoy people and super bowl parties and such.

Congratulations! How exciting! Mines on the 22nd.. I've also been waiting over 6months, I start my preop diet on the 8th! Same as yours, all liquids..

That's why I'm doing the surgery to, I mean part of it.. I'm getting to old, and want to avoid having declining health.. I also have firbromyalgia and I'm praying that this surgery will help!! I start my preop diet on 8th..

I'm also scheduled for my surgery on the 22nd and I'm nervous too... you can't worry about stuff like that, ya know.. the reason we are doing this is to help get healthy.. just focus on the positive.
