PEOPLE WHO ONLY DID 3 day liquid pre op diet



Recommended Posts

Bigfrank that's not your problem. You have provided appropriate warning. This will be for her and her family to face going forward. Sometimes we have the blessing of making a connection in someone's life where you can make an impression from the other side of the world. This is clearly not opportunity for you.

It's very nice for people to have concerns for strangers over other people's health & well being .... In no way did I feel this from his words of wisdom

Why can't the subject be dropped already?!?!

Nothing is being accomplished. Nothing at all.

I'm done, but I disagree with you Amanda Rae, something HAS been accomplished. There's a 30 BMI'er reading this that is having second thoughts if they ate a rational minded person.

Rollagirl' date=' I don't know what your intellect level is but you need to READ what people are writing. You keep saying that I and a couple others here are on you about your weight. YES WE ARE!!! But not for the reason your mind is calculating it as, we are saying that you are to THIN to get sleeved!!! Read that again....YOU ARE TO THIN TO GET SLEEVED. Also, you are spending valuable time on a website filled with people that have serious weight problems with BMI's that are 40-70, or even higher. These people have tried everything and some are near death. You were obviously smart enough to recognize that you have a problem. You want to do something about it right? How much weight do you want to lose, 30-40 lbs? Then deal with the issues in your mind and go do it! Hell, 30-40 lbs is nothing compared to some of the weight numbers that people here, including myself need to lose. You are better then me because you realized that you had a problem when you hit a BMI of 30, I didn't realize it until my BMI was over 50! Do you think that this surgery is going to cure whatever you have going on in your head? I am here to tell you it's NOT. Over come that FIRST then consider surgery AFTER. But I think you won't need surgery if you fix what's going on in your head first.[/quote']

Wow Frank, why didn't you take your own advice ?

You had a 27-28 BMI when you were 19. She sees herself headed down a similar path you took. The difference is she looking to seize her weight gain now before it gets so out of hand that she has caused irreversible damage to her body.

As for those of us who are supporting her decision, I don't for a second believe I am being disingenuous. I simply am not being so arrogant to believe that my opinion is the end all be all of who should or shouldn't pursue WLS.

Really, if she & her surgeon both agree that she is a good candidate, then your & my opinion really don't matter

I think big frank is at the end of the day concerned about you.. Men really communicate differently and some of his remarks where a little

Ummm strong..I THINK he was a little bent out of shape at the remarks that other woman made. actually those two women said a couple of really cruel things...I tell you that other girl is lucky she didn't make some of those remarks about me. Because I'm not above getting crazy! :P

Anyway what I wanted to say is I've NEVER seen frank react so strongly.. And I really have to believe it was out of concern.

Roller,

I know this is what you have your heart set on. And will do. Does it make me a bit sad? Yes, I don't know why, maybe because someone so "small" in my eyes feels so judged and bad about themselves.. Some of us would consider your weight goal... It's a sad world.

Good luck to you.. And I will be canceling my trip to New Zealand after reading about the harshness against bigger people! :P

That my dear is so far from right.. Is it really a New Zealand thing? Do you people really find it that necessary to be cruel to bigger people?

You are doing the same thing that you guys are complaining about that happens to you there!

Twisted really

Who am I being cruel to? I was talking about my personal experience with a BMI over 40. When you have over 100lbs to lose of course you will some degree of loose skin. I guess I just wish I had dealt with my weight sooner.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
