You are doing great! The beauty of the pre op is it jump starts your weight loss and helps detox all the garbage we are hooked on. Post op you will barely feel like eating so the liquids won’t bother you much I suspect. You will still have the savory broth! Best wishes to you! I am almost 4 weeks post op VSG and convinced this is the best thing I could have done for myself. I wish that for you, too!

I went through a stall as well and I am 3 weeks post op. I found that switching up my exercises, getting at least 8 hours of sleep, and drinking more protein shakes ramped me up and put me back in fifth gear. For example, if you walk trails, jog/ run/ sprint for 60 seconds and repeat when you get enough wind. Or, if you do the elliptical or treadmill, increase the intensity. The key is tricking your body by getting your heart rate up. Start moving!! I know you’ll see results and get out of the 200s very rapidly!

Glad to hear you’re feeling so positive! The pre-op for me wasn’t fun but it also felt super empowering! Like I was finally in charge again! Keep up the good vibes

My surgery date is also November 18th, but I only have four days to prep before surgery. You're doing great. Keep up the good work. Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

I too have to have everything cold with ice or ice chips. In fact I had it in the hospital to get my water in. All cold all the time.... for water and drinks... I can't stand cold soup though.

Mostly walking 8days post op most definitely no heavy working out 🏋️‍♀️ this doin just light work outs but long as it works for u just be safe and don’t over do it u got this 💪🏾

It was about 2 weeks post-op for me. Honestly earlier than I anticipated. My incisions were mostly healed up, and I found that me on top allowed me to control how much pressure I was putting on my stomach. I'm now 4 months post-op and my husbands' and my sex life hasn't been this good since we were newlyweds! I don't think there's any injury risk with orgasm; just do what you're doing and let your comfort/pain signals guide you.

I'd like to have your opinion. I am about 4.5 months out from surgery. I have loss 92 pounds, or 32% of my excess body weight. Gastric sleeve promotes losing 60%. I know I can improve with my water intake. I also know I can improve with some of my food choices. But, overall 4.5 months out is 32% in range? I am on target on my 6 mos. anniversary to be down another 27 pounds, or a total of 120 pounds, about 40% of my overall excess body weight. Things going well: More active; energy; confidence; clothes sizes are changing rapidly; generally feel great Could be better: water intake; consistency with vitamins; not making poor food choices on occasion. Thanks, I appreciate your input!
