      @Gorgeousbarbie yes, some around the belly and arms, also a little on the tops of the legs .
      Nothing to worry about. Exercise is helping it shrink away.

      Thank you! I wish all the appointments prior to the surgery they warned us of the horrible gas pain after surgery. I had horrible chest and left shoulder pain and the nausea was horrendous 😭

    Im having my surgery in 5 days. This liquid diet is rough, but I've been abusing my food privileges for most of my adult life, so this is what i get. Good luck to everyone on their journeys.

      I will be having my Gastric Sleeve Bypass Surgery on September 30th and am so excited. Scared about the 2 week clear liquid pre Op diet, anyone have any suggestions?

    • @RetiredTrucking
      @RetiredTrucking 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      @karenspann-fredricks370 I'm not going to sugarcoat it. Those 2 weeks are rough, but they are also very necessary. The objective of the 2-week liquid diet is to shrink your liver so it makes the operation easier for the doctor. It's important that you don't cheat. What helped me was having a large cup of ice water with me wherever I went. Anytime I felt hungry, I'd pound the water. Another tip: Find a protien shake flavor you love because protein shakes are going to be your new best friend. The 2-week fast is a good opportunity to try all the different brands and flavors.
      Here's the good news... You are going to get through this! The results are going to be well worth your efforts and sacrifice! I'm am currently almost 6 months post-op, and I've lost 84 lbs. YOU GOT THIS! Good luck!!!

    I’m in the uk and I am on the surgery waiting list. We get the operation free on the NHS because all healthcare is free but this doesn’t mean it’s easy because there’s alot of study to do on what they call the “Pathway” . I am quite scared about the operation but I am also excited at the same time it’s a weird feeling indeed! I was an athlete. I trained everyday rigorously and competed a few times a year until I was illegally struck in my back during a bout causing severe trauma to my lower back and spine. I all of a sudden couldn’t train anymore and I put on a stone whilst in hospital eating calorie controlled meals! The doctors were baffled and so they started doing tests only to discover I am hypothyroid that was 20 years ago and my weight has spiralled out of control due to being unable to train. I am not a typical case because I do not have an issue with overeating. It’s true that I don’t always eat the healthy options but in general I eat normal portions and often only twice a day because I normally just don’t feel like eating when I wake up.
    I’m therefore anxious regarding whether the operation is going to help or not because I still can’t train and I am on crutches and housebound because of my back. I’m hoping the initial shock to my system will force my body to lose alot of weight making it easier for me to mobilise leading to a greater physical output of energy resulting in more weight loss! I am sick of being fat and trapped. This prison must end. Best wishes to everyone on the same path❤

      I also got the sleeve with Dr. Ana Santos in PR. I’m three weeks in. She did a very good job. I have no complications from the operation. The amount of water intake is hard. I only have one scar that is not healing as the others. I don’t know how is going to look at the end. I got one of your books and listen to you regularly on you tube.
