JUNE SURGERY BUDDIES

[Carla Ogwin 91]

I totally totally understand exactly what you're talking about mine's is two Protein Shakes 3 to 4 oz of Protein two cheese sticks and plenty of Water I'm doing that 2 weeks before my surgery and then a week before my surgery all liquid I started 2 days ago 3 weeks out because I needed to try myself to see if I can do this and it has been the hardest thing I have ever had to do my stomach growling I just been trying to just eat the Popsicles I've only been able to eat the meat in the green Beans and it is hard it's a mental thing and today I did fail that's why I started early just to see my mental state of mind but it is hard but don't give up because you have waited so long to go through this and wait for your surgery cuz you don't want to get there and you stay up under longer than normal because your liver hasn't shrunk I'm not sure of what doctor is not requiring anyone to not go through this liquid diet. I googled why it was important to do it. I will get back on track today and stick with it until June 13th thats my day of the my sleeve. Don't give up!!!!!!

I'm on day 7 today of the liquid diet. There have been times it has felt hard but ive managed to stay with it. My surgery is on 1st June (next Thursday) - it cannot come fast enough. It is hard but we are all almost there ♥️

I understand my patience have grown so thin again I don't know why my surgery out of all of the people in my group ended up being 2 months outside of my last module I really felt like I was being tested so I have as of today 19 days left before my surgery. I wish mines was on the 1st , stay strong to everyone and don't give up. We can motivate each other daily.

Good morning to all, I am on my third day, I just happened to start mines 3 weeks earlier than my surgery so this is my test week but so far so good, it's been hard it's been testing and trying I cheated yesterday just a Teensy winsy bit but I'm back on it this morning and I have to be determined like when they told me I had to stop smoking after smoking for years, I just cold turkey quit so I guess I'm going to have to do the same thing with this liquid stuff. Again good luck to all.

Oh and I also wanted to say thanks to everyone for being my support because other than that I have zero support from where I'm at and it just feels so good to bariatric Pals to talk to is so cool I'm loving all the comments and the feedbacks and the positivity thank you all so much

June 22nd- I’m going to self pay in Mexico.

Please be safe & I pray all goes well. I'm excited for you.....this was one of the best decisions I made.

[Carla Ogwin 91]

Safe travels to you and we all will be sending prayers as you approach your journey.

[sharonwg 110]

I second that - safe travel and comfort in Mexico honey. Tomorrow will be one full week of liquid diet. I may be imagining it, but I am sure my bra cup seems a little looser 😂. I'm going to brave it and step on the scales tomorrow morning......
