May 2014 Sleevers

[bosslady99751 19]

Greeting May Sleevers! I'm scheduled for May 1st and have been having food funerals every weekend! I've done lots of research but I'm a bit nervous! I just read that this surgery has less risks than Gallbladder surgery I've had mine out....ummmmm I still feel nervous

I'm scheduled May 19 with Dr. Pompa.

bosslady99751, well, the way I look at it is that if I DON'T have the surgery, I will for sure die younger than I want to, while if I DO have the surgery, yeah, there's a small chance of death or complications, but then I (hopefully) get to live till I'm 100!

As an aside, I wish we could reply to specific posts within a thread.

Since I'm no longer on caffeine or sugar I feel my pace slowing down. I'm worried that my energy level (what's left if it) is going to tank during this liquid diet. Any one else feel this way?

I guess I would expect my energy level to drop to some extent, particularly if you are going into ketosis on just the two lean cuisine meals and liquids pre-surgery, but that should change once your system clears out. I bet you'll be feeling great just before surgery!

I'm having my surgery on May 1st. I currently feel the need to eat everything that I'm never going to be able to eat again before that date. My doctor has not mentioned the 2 week preoperative diet. I go to see him on the 23rd and I'm thinking it may start then. I am very excited for this new journey! I am very thankful that I found this site!

amiliz06, I know just how you feel, and I did the same thing. However, keep this in mind: you will be able to eat any things after the surgery that you ate before the surgery--just less of it. Maybe that will help a little with the runaway chowdown? It's tough, though, I know!

amiliz06, we have the same dates for surgery and Pre op Visit....I'm so happy I found May Sleevers!!! I hate to tell people that just think I'm crazy....umm have you seen me without my clothes on! My husband is not on board however, I need to live the rest of my life. My mom is 62 arthritis in her back,neck and knees, diabetics, may I go on! I want to wear heels again and buy clothes in the regular people area. Sorry rambling as I can do.

skellertx, thanks for the encouragement.

Luckily I have a HUGE support system and my hubby is on board with me 100%. Dr.Felix with Hope Bariatrics is doing my surgery. Luckily I know a few people that have gone to him and have hade amazing results.

not sure what tool you're using but the quote texture makes it clear to which specific post you are replying.

I'm in Westchester ny. Not too far. I wasn't given a liquid diet or Vitamin regime pre op - other than Multivitamin and Vitamin D. Have preop appt w surgeon at start of May. Not sure if I'll hear something different then.

I have gained weight since my initial appt. I'm nervous but mostly it seems surreal.

How are you?
