Nervous!!! And not loosing at all on the liquid diet!! Maybe 3lbs in 8 days!! Frustrated

Hey Everyone!  I wanted to check in and see how all the July sleevers, that have already had surgery, are doing.  How are you pre-op peeps doing?  I am on day 18 today.  Feeling darn good overall.  Back to work on day 16 and I've been pretty tired, which kind of surprised me because I hadn't been overly tired the last few days before coming back.  I'm slowly learning about my new tummy and coming to the realization that it is in charge.  I have had a few bouts of eating one or two bites too many.  I have learned that I get a tight/pressured feeling in my chest when I am getting full.  One or two bites after this feeling and I have gone too far and it is uncomfortable.  The other night I thought I felt that feeling start and decided I would have one more bite because I only had one bite left in my dish.  MISTAKE.  I almost instantly was nauseous.  I walked around hoping things would move down and start working their way through...no such luck.  I threw up for the first time post-op.  I instantly felt better.  Lesson learned...listen to my body.  I am hoping I don't have to learn that lesson many times before it sticks in my brain.  I am down 35 pounds since 6/16 when I started my two week pre-op diet.  I couldn't be happier with my results so far.  It is truly amazing to not experience hunger like before.  I look forward to this leg of my journey and continuing to work towards my goal.  Best wishes and good luck everyone!

I am rather non-compliant so I'm def not the person to give advice. I was drinking broth so that helped w my salt craving even the reduced sodium was perfect. When I needed something to chew on, I would eat a few pieces of pre-packaged grilled chicken strips. I just stayed away from carbs. I lost more on the preop diet than I am post op. I lost 18 pounds on the preop and only lost 11 pounds post op and I've been in a stall since my first week.

Exactly the same! Clear liquids tomorrow only, nervous as heck. Just hoping everything turns out all right. Good luck!!!

It went really really well. I had a good bit of soreness on my abdomen, more than expected, but with a small bit of pain medicine I'm already ready to start walking down the halls. The surgery took about an hour and 15 minutes and I was in recovery for about 45 min. And other than a few hours of being groggy, today has been really great!
