We all miss food, I think. I'm sorry you have not been able to follow your pre op diet. I know it's hard. I fell off the wagon a time or two also. I'm 6 days post op. I know if I eat now, I will not feel well. Still on liquids, want real food, but we all have o do what is best for us. You've made a decision to get the sleeve for you and your health. You have to get your head in the game. You can do it! You deserve it. In the long term, you will feel so much better. I've lost 16 pounds since I started pre op up until today. I have said in many times when yes would have been easier. I hope you are able to make good decisions today!

Hi Sleevinit

I know what you mean-I keep thinking the same thing Thanksgiving time to pig out-then I think about my thin friends and family members at Thanksgiving dinner and how they don't seem fixated on overeating. When I think about it I remember they eat sensibly and then busy themselves with conversation, serving others, and cleaning up. I'm pre-op too but I think I'm going to try and think (eat) like a thin person. After all, this time next year I plan to be one. :-)

I am going to be real w you girl eat , eat until you are done I did it before my preop diet anything I new I would miss I ate. I was sleeved 11/22 I have lost 20lbs 7 before being sleeved. We are here because we love food and that pre op post op diet is not easy a am at the 1st stage still and I want real food but I know I can't. Hardest thang by far having too cook pecan pie collard greens baked Mac & cheese and yams for my family today and I can't have a bit. It's all a mental game for me I love good foods but I know too win in this game I half too stop and learn to love small healthy meals

Good luck

      🥳 Jan 1 2025 - Day 1 of Pre Op, surgery on the 16th! 😬😅

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
