DestinClair1983 72 Posted February 2, 2014 Hey Ryan! Welcome to the forum, and congrats on your surgery date! I know when I was on the 2 week pre-op diet, I struggled a LOT to stick to it. There were some days where I caved in and had something I wasn't supposed to, but I just got right back on track because I knew how important it was to adhere to the plan. I was so scared that if I didn't follow the plan, I would get put under anesthesia the day of surgery, wake up, and find out that they didn't do the surgery because my liver was too big! I was probably a little too paranoid about that lol but everything turned out okay. Just keep strong! 1 BigRy84 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyJaney 775 Posted February 2, 2014 Hey Ryan! Welcome! I'm preop too. Been on this site for a few months. It's a wonderful, supportive place. Read, read and read more. It's helped me in so many ways. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carlotta1 401 Posted February 2, 2014 Ryan..welcome and happy for u that u r getting the sleeve. I am 8 weeks post op and seeing great results. I am not a fast loser. But very happy with my weight loss thus far. Try to stick to your liquid diet 100 percent. There is a good reason that they put u on a liquid diet prior to surgery. If u get head hungry ..keep yourself busy. Go for a stroll, if u are not weather locked. Go to the mall and look at people passing by ..do whatever it take to keep yourself compliant. Good luck and keep us informed on your progress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1Day1Life4Now 882 Posted February 2, 2014 Hi Ryan and welcome to the Forums. This is a wonderful place with some very supportive positive people that understand the struggles, the ups and the downs. They also have some wonderful solutions to many problems pre-op and post-op. You will be happy you found this group. I am 1 week pre-op and Im on the liquid diet too but I don't find it that difficult. I LOVE these Protein shakes.I think they taste good and there is no cooking involved and no dishes to wash. What can I say...it gives me time to do other things. lol Anyway, we're here for you. 1 BigRy84 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigRy84 4 Posted February 2, 2014 Thanks guys, I actually just came back from the mall bc I picked up my wedding band as I'm getting married tomorrow , it was a struggle as I passed by 4 different Auntie Anne's Pretzel Stands, considering I'm pretty hungry. Idk if the malls a place I would wanna be lol on another note, had to go to stop and shop to pick up almond milk as I'm allowed to mix it with my whey Protein Shakes, (when I mix it with Water, I gag lol) and the smell of the store was amazing and it made my stomach growl terribly!!! It's also SUPER BOWL SUNDAY and I can't eat anything while I watch the game, I'm having a hard time! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
