Summer 2018 Surgery Buddies Check In Here!
Recommended Posts
Glad to see I'm not the only one with the panicky thoughts. I worry about the actual procedure and the pre & post diets. What if I mess it all up? Will I remember what I can & should have on the pre-op liquid diet? Am I really ready for this?
One thing that I'm worried about is that I can't do sugar free items. The substitutes & even stevia gives me instant headaches that quickly turn to Migraines.

Congratulations and good luck to everyone that's on/heading to the Loser's Bench this week!
Day 2 of pre-op diet today. I'm full liquids, so that's 5 Protein Shakes, 50 calories of clear liquid, 1 cup of strained soup/yogurt/pudding.
I'm very tired and have a Headache. I'm hoping the fog clears soon.
You are rocking it!! Wow- great work! I’m impressed (:
Well it is a little before 7 AM and,the day i vowed I would start my diet. Well to be totally technical, since my surgery date is the 5th of September I COULD WAIT until next week, and still be in compliance, but no, I want,a sleek smooth slender liver, I said
I can do this, this is going to make me a better,thinner person. . Maybe I will,start,my,own forum thtead, back to sleep, the day will. start,soon,enough!!!
Ok, the last major hurdle I needed to get over has been complete. Surgery paid in full.
I talked to my surgeon this morning about all my concerns, worries, and anxieties. I was reminded of why I chose him as he is so caring and compassionate. He put all my fears to rest and told me I could call him whenever I needed.
And then he said, "All this practicing you've been doing to transform your eating habits will pay off." And I thought well ****...with everything going on I totally and completely forgot I should have been practicing sipping, taking smaller bites, chewing well, etc. So I guess I have the next 4.5 days to cram all that practicing in! lol
I still forgot to ask him what he thinks a healthy weight is for me to target. But I suppose there is plenty of time after the surgery to discuss that.
You have totally got this! And I’ll be honest, I didn’t practice that at all. Only practiced chewing more and eating with smaller utensils. My pouch definitely made certain that I nibbled though, lol. Things will feel like lead hitting your new stomach. You will catch on quickly. Best wishes! 🤗On 08/01/2018 at 14:29, Ylime said:

@Jbyerly101 Thanks for getting back, I see you had your surgery, how did it go. I have been reading on muscle mass after surgery, have you heard anything on this site how that goes? I am new to this site so just learning how to respond and ask questions.
