Looking for July Sleevers!

[Sboulie 90]

I'm two days from surgery. I have followed the liquid pre-op religiously in spite of some issues. I'm suddenly overcome with fear that it won't work, that I'll go through this and still be obese

I too am on July 9th. And have the same fear of this not working. I have failed at everything else!

I feel that, too! If I can't get in the mindset of eating well now, what's going to click after surgery? I'm also afraid I won't take advantage of those first six month when people lose so much weight and I will regret it later on. This blog helps to keep me on track and I'm looking forward to support groups. I'm on day 2 of preop and the scale has already moved down a few pounds. That's where we can draw our motivation!

My surgery date is set for July 14! So excited and nervous. I'm 24 and have struggled with my weight my entire life. I've never had surgery before and I am very scared of the recovery process. Currently on the low carb pre op diet and doing fairly well. I've lost about 2 lbs. Anyone close to this date and want to be surgery buddies ? It'd be nice to have someone to share this experiment with that understands.

Hi I'm July 15th! Only surgery I've had is a emergency c-section I'm nervous too! Would love to be surgery buddies! I'm 32 tomorrow and have struggled my whole life as well!

Surgery is 2 days away..

I almost gave up this morning..

Being on the post op diet since Thursday has been a real challenge..

Then I sprained my ankle and tore some ligaments..

Calling my Dr, this morning and telling him what happened..

I sure hope he doesn't post pone surgery.. I can barely walk..

It seems to always be something!..

I am also having surgery July 9th.. Are you a mix of emotions like me?.. I hear stories about people who gain all the weight back and keep thinking if that's going to happen to me.. I have to think more positive.. We can't set ourselves up to fail.. Good Luck!!! Stay Positive..

Well it's surgery day. Headed to the hospital in a few minutes. I'm Very excited but also anxious. This is a life change but I'm ready to stop fighting so hard to lose weight. I will keep you guys posted on the postop. Hope all you other do very well next few days! Stay strong. You can do it!!

I had read that the main reason that we get headaches while doing the liquid diet is caused by detox. After 7 days you should be over that. I only had to do the liquid diet for 2 days before my surgery on 7/3. Luckily, you are not hungry after the surgery. I am amazed at how many things I relate to food. I sit down to watch a movie and think about popcorn, or went to a basball game to watch a grandson and it's hot dog..... I'm not hungry, but I just need to break those habits of associated certain activities with food.

All the best,

Clara

Hi Clara! I have a July 29th date as well! I'd love to stay in touch. What part of CA are you in?
