Hey Shyguy! I was once told” Don’t try to fit in.. find where you belong”! I hear ya on the food part.. I try to stay busy doing anything.. I’d sell my firstborn for a piece of pizza right now! 😂 I’m going to reward myself in the end with a trip somewhere.. so I’m looking up stuff on that. Keep busy! Hang in there! 😊

Thanks. I caved in and had some jelly Beans. Threw the rest away and I'm committed to getting through this with as few slip ups as possible.

Sugar cravings are the worst! You can always reach out! We’re only human.. I had an ice tea.. I’m just trying to stay busy.. I go for walks or start a series on TV. I just finished watching The Boys on Prime that was good. Ive downloaded some games on my phone to play. I re arranged my bedroom yesterday . 😂

Mine will be in 9 days. A gastric sleeve. I guess it is normal to question if I should do this.

Hi madma, I’m the same. I’m a bit nervous now and questioning things but I’m just trying to see myself very thin in a year with great clothes and a healthy self esteem..

What happens if you mess up on liquid diet?

Hi Bridge, I messed up yesterday and had a piece of bread. I couldn’t take the nausea and throwing up anymore. I read that it depends how close you are to surgery. The Dr will know right away if you ate and prob not be able to proceed with food in your stomach or intestines. That would suck having to do it all over again. 🙄 I was told to double down and get the food out of you ASAP. I hope this helps

Hi everyone... had my surgery on July 6th - Gastric Bypass. I am doing well. It definitely wasn't as terrible as I had pictured in mind. It's been pretty easy actually. No pain or pain meds. Incisions areas just sore/tender but that's it. Getting around 60 ounces of liquid + 1 Jello cup + 2 teaspoons of yogurt + a little broth. Knock on wood, haven't had any nausea or vomiting.

I was a nervous wreck 2 days before and even that morning was still anxious but not as nervous as the day before. Excited to see where this journey takes. Happy to answer any questions if anyone has any.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
