    Post-OP Mixed Emotions

    Stay strong ! The first few weeks sucked !! I cried almost everyday. Just looking at broth made me want to throw up because i was so over it . I survived off of sugar free ice pops and Powerade zero . I know at 2 weeks i was able to start purees, not sure if your diet plan is the same but if it is your almost there ! I hated myself in the beginning I thought i made the biggest mistake ever but im now almost 7 months out and down 103 lbs . Loll i dont regret it for a second anymore [emoji846]

    Sleeve friends ?

    long island also ! haha small word
  8. I got sleeved on July3rd . So I'm week post opt . Im looking for anyone who basically want to be there for each other with support and questions that normal people (ones who didn't get surgery) wouldn't understand. I feel like I always do my best when I have motivation and a support team there for me . I made a Instagram account strictly for my sleeve stuff because i didn't really tell anyone i was getting it. I hate when people say its the easy way out because there is nothing easy about this. So i kept it to myself . So if anyone wants to be friends feel free to add or message me . Im 23 from ny , Im really nice lol and I talk to like everyone [emoji846] My instagram name is crystallmarie_vsg

    Why is today so tough?!?

    I know if i had a 2 day pre opt diet i wouldn't even bother cheating ! But of coarse mine was a month long and i has literally 4 birthday parties, a bridal party, a wedding, and fathers day all in one month. Im definitely going to try the premier ones! I dont like milk either it doesnt agree with me but im literally drinking water and power ade zero and living off of ice pops. I tested my urine today and I'm finally in ketosis which made me happy. I just cant wait to get this surgery !!!

    Why is today so tough?!?

    Yes i see alot of people drinking premier ! I want to try one before buying a whole pack like i did with the optifast . I dropped $120 for me to hate the shakes lol i will never do that again!

    Why is today so tough?!?

    Optifast . Something about them just make me gag . It reminds me of thicker milk and i hate milk to begin with . Also it makes me so sick , the second I drink them I hear my stomach rumble and I have to run to the bathroom.

    Why is today so tough?!?

    Yea I almost fell off the table when my doctor told me a month. When i got my lapband i only had to do 2 weeks. So i wasn't prepared for that long. And it was strict shakes 4 times a day and a bar. No light meal or anything . Im almost 20 lbs down but i cheated a few days . But which like grilled chicken and a salad. All im craving is meat. But its almost our time so im trying to stay strong !

    Why is today so tough?!?

    Ugh im in the same boat! Today is literally torture . Ive been doing the pre opt diet since june 3rd my surgery is july 3rd . Im starving today !!!!! [emoji31]
  14. So I'm in my 3rd week of my pre surgery clear liquid diet down 20lbs. My surgery is July3rd I'm so excited I just want it to be here already! Ive realized tho I have no appetite..literally no desire to even drink my shakes anymore. I know its not healthy but even the thought of having a shake makes me nauseous. Yesterday i went the whole day just drinking water and having 1 sugar free ice pop. Is this whats suppose to happen ? Has this happened to anyone else during their pre op diet ?

    Breaking down

    Stay strong ! Im doing the optifast pre liquid diet as well .. the first 3 days were the worst !!! But if you make it through those then your good ! Ive been doing it since June 5th and my surgery is July 3rd so im on it for almost a month . Ive lost 10 pounds so far . But i slipped a few times . But if your going to slip make sure its not with like french fries or something .. i had a piece of grilled chicken the 4th day bc my headache was horrible and it definitely helped. Whenever i feel like i cant do i look at instagram pages of people who have done this surgery and their success it really helps or I distract myself with like a computer game or a game on my phone something to keep me busy . I also have been trying to stay outside alot and not in the house with a kitchen full of food. Its hard but youll make it !!! Add me on Instagram we can follow each others journeys !
