HarleyMan82 12 Posted April 29, 2018 I'm getting sleeved on the 3rd of May and on the 2 week pre op diet, so far so good but I've had a couple of moments where I just want to go get a chili dog or a cheeseburger including right now, for some reason I'm craving a chili dog really badly right now and so far I've fought the urge to do it and will continue to do so. I have these thoughts running through my head asking myself if I'm making the right decision? Am I going to miss eating a good chili dog or cheeseburger afterwards? I did research on and off the last couple of years on this surgery I'm not just plunging in without any knowledge but I'm still asking myself if I'm making a mistake. I assume this is normal and I've even read other people think the same way but hearing from people on here might make me feel better about it? I know most people don't have any issues but I have read a few horror stories about people vomiting constantly, diarrhea, having to go in and get IVs or feeding tubes, that doesn't sound healthy or ideal, it's a bit scary to think about. I am 35 years old and currently I'm at 287 5'10, I'm losing around 1.2 lbs per day from the pre op diet but still pretty hungry most of the time and really cranky/don't want to be around anyone or any food etc right now. I have a lot of muscle mass on my frame it's just covered in fat but I used to do quite a lot of power/weight lifting which is why I have a lot of muscle mass. I'm ready to get it done and move on so I can be healthier and get back to lifting and just generally living a more active healthier lifestyle. I guess I'm just introducing myself and maybe asking for some words of encouragement as I'm coming down to the last days of my pre op diet and so forth. Thanks everyone.

browneyez42 280 Posted April 29, 2018 We've all been there. This was one of the hardest decisions of my life and I'm glad I went through with it. I'm only four days post op and having difficulty drinking the v required amounts of liquids, but I know it will get easier. Hang in there, you can do it 1 1 HarleyMan82 and baribetty reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HarleyMan82 12 Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) I can't believe mine is only a few days away, I'm not really excited or too nervous just kind of content and just want to get it over with if that makes any sense, I think the pre op diet has put me into a kind of permanent content at times/pissy at times mood haha.

I'm just so over my pre-op vlcd that I'm ready to be on the other side. If I can't eat anything, it'd be nice to not *want* it. May 3 here too.

HarleyMan82 12 Posted May 4, 2018 I'm in Florida, I went in yesterday morning and was out this morning, the nurse was telling me she thinks it's the fastest turn around she's ever seen and I walked more than anyone else she's ever seen too. I'm at home now, just woke up after dozing off on the couch, going to attempt a Protein Shake in a minute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HarleyMan82 12 Posted May 4, 2018 Around Stuart, Florida, what about you? I was able to drink a Protein Shake with no problem, sipping on Water now. My stomach does hurt but that's to be expected after the surgery I'm guessing, it kind of feels like I was punched in the gut haha 1 teacherlady095 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
