Good luck! I am a week out. I have to say its brought out some difficult emotions in me. Although I am very glad I did it. I wish someone would have told me that in the beginning (after surgery) is when u ask yourself, "did I do the right thing?" In my hearts of hearts I know I did. I feel great with a little soreness. I know this shall pass. I am very excited for my new life!! As I know you will be too.

chrissie, thanks for sharing your experience. I wish you a lot of strength to deal with these emotions, I'm sure it will be difficult but I know we will be celebrating in 6 months! Also your dog reminded of an old dachshund friend I miss a lot. He is super cute, congrats :)

How do you feel a week out? Truthfully I'm getting worried about the next 2 weeks and being on a liquid diet. I have not had to do the liquid diet part like some people talk about. Although I have drank my Protein shakes on my own. I was diagnosed in May with diabetes, that was my moment when I knew...this is it! I have to do something. I lost 30 pounds since then and now I'm getting worried about everything. Today has truly sucked with the clear liquid diet my doctor required.

Good luck to everyone! I promise you will be so glad that you made this decision, it may not be in the first few weeks, but you will. I'm 6 weeks out today and I am down 56 lbs, and I feel wonderful! Just take a deep breath and say to yourself, "I'm doing this for me"! We will all save you a seat on the losers bench!

Carey, I too found out I was diabetic in February. This is while I was going through my 6 month dietary plan. But I thought something was wrong when I lost weigh because I was thirsty all the time. When I started reading all the paper work I realized I could have grits. Honestly I had them for the first time yesterday but you only really want like three bites or so. But if your dr only wants you to have Clear Liquids I would stick to that. Eating broth wasn't bad either. After the second day u are able to feel when you are full. But what no one told me was that when your chest feels tight, that's when your full. But as time goes on you'll be surprised how easy it is. So don't stress about it. You'll do fine. My first week went by really fast. Also no one told me about Constipation which I have never had an issue with. So I'm just throwing that out there. LOL

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
