Gastric Bypass Surgery
I was wondering if anyone has had this done or thinking of doing it ? I am on my 5th day of 14 day protein liquid diet and it is getting rough but with my family and friends standing behind me i can do this i keep saying 9 more days but boy it sure is getting harder. So was wondering if anyone had this done and what kept you going except to know you were going to be alot more healther and lighter. Just need the push to continue on i think. Good thing i have lost 7-1/2 pds since i started on friday doing the protein diet think it bothered me more cause of the holiday and we did not go anywhere stayed home so i would not feel so bad about not getting to eat. Dh is my strength and standing behind me. He is being so good that he is going to stop and get me some sugar free popsicles.

Mom did that - Nothing kept her going but knowing if she ate the wrong foods she would puke up her guts LOL.
She did it to cure her diabetes which it did, took time though!
She doesn't drink the soy she does whey because it has less calories.

that is what i am doing the whey to and i am doing it because of diabetes but you would think that 14days is a little to much. I know after surgery the fact of what will happen if you eat the wrong foods or to much. But right now i just want a big plate of spaghetti and garlic bread so bad.

Can I just say something without sounding rude but if your body is wanting something then it is trying to tell you something. You can still have the foods you love but in moderation. Instead of having a big bowl or plate of pasta you can still have it but have a small portion and then go for a walk after. Have you thought about seeing a nutritionist? They can help you get on the right path so you dont feel so hungry all the time.

It's not a diet, it's a 14 day liquid protein prep for surgery (gastric bypass). I don't think you'd wanna do this long term.
Callsheb.........you are stronger than me girl! You can do this. Nothing is a better motivator than seeing that scale number going down down down!
Be strong, drink up and call when you're having a rough patch...I'll talk ya through it!!!
Call me before surgery!!!

Yes, but some people need surgery - my mother tried everything to loose weight & the weight would never come off, she was up to controlling her diabetes with medicine, diet AND shots, and it wasn't working!
She now eats anything she wants just not a LOT of it -
She's just about 18 months out of surgery ; she didn't loose her diabetes all at once, her friend who went into surgery with her lost her diabetes right after surgery, it took mom 6 months to a year for her to be diabetes free but she is now and so happy 
Callsheb congrats on your decision! ((hugs))

I always thought I wanted to have it done but they kept saying I wasn't heavy enough (you are supposed to be a minimum of 80 lbs but usually 100 lbs overweight)
I finally got it in my head what I had to do to lose the weight and I have now lost 36 lbs on my own and I eat all the time.
I realize that there are some who need to do this and callsheb I wish you lots of luck sweetie.
Be who you are and say what you feel, those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Hoping to do lap band next spring...don't have the $ to shell out right now because we have a ppo...

nevermind I thought she was doing a liquid diet now I get it she is doing this before the surgery I think this heat has gotten to me. Good luck with the bypass and I know some people need the surgery your talking to a family who starts to put on calories at 500 calorie intake so even 1000 calorie diet doesnt work for us.

Yes sorry should of told this is in prep to surgery i would not have this if my doctor told me 10yrs is all i have my body is rejecting the insulin (i am a diabetic) so i have to take 9 insulin shots right now and 2 pills aday. But if i dont have this surgery i will in about a month have to do more insulin i have to keep raising the insulin so this was the best way for me to maybe not be a diabetic anymore but doctor has said do not get hopes up that i will get rid of insulin all together but probably will be down alot on the insulin my hope no more meds at all. I wished i could lose by diet but with the body rejecting it is not going to be possible.
