Wow ! You look amazing ! How much have you lost ?

Hi welcome Where are you from? I'm in Boston and hopefully getting sleeved March 2

Hey me too! When and where r u getting sleeved ?

your post gives me hope that I ll be the same . Can eat normally ... Just less !

At six weeks out ? I'm preop so have no idea what to expect . I have friends who have had surgery and they told me i prob won't ever be able to eat pizza or bread like things again as they are tough to get down . Don't beat yourself up ! Just follow 90 percent and indulge 10 percent . If that was the 10 percent then your fine

I'm on pre op and am also anxious . I think it's natural to feel this way. Def going to be change that's for sure

No I wasn't told I had to lose weight I just figured that eating this way would naturally have me drop as its significantly lower cal than I have been eating for past several months

I had my surgery postponed due to a hysterectomy back in January but only ended up losing ten days . So they might just push it back a little . I'll be 8 weeks between surgeries

Yes

I already gave up caffeine coffee tea weeks ago and gave up seltzer which I lived on . Just have few bottles left and was wondering if I could have . I find the zero calorie waters like Vitamin Water and propel so sweet .

Everyone seems to be losing on the two week pre op diet ... Except me ! Three days down and not a pound

Day 3 of preop diet and constipated . Any one else have that ? Also worried cuz the large Anoubt of Protein doesn't seem to sit well with me . Why so much protein? My protein grams are at about 100 . Is that too much ?

Are you on the pre op diet ? I am and I'm hungry

You were told no to all of these?

I m on the insurance covered Vitamin plan and they ship to my house. I already started taking and surgery isn't scheduled till March 2. I hate the chewables. They are too sweet. When can I have them send me the regular kind that I can just swallow. a few months?

Does everyone have to do this ?

I'm wondering the same thing . I hope someone answers .my dr never mentioned it

Why would you have to inject yourself ?

March 2 here

I'm not emotional but short tempered and hangry . I'm on day 2 when is your surgery ?

Day 1 and I'm a little hangry but one day closer ! As I came running in from work to get in my comfy pjs I realize that I can't wait to not just want to run home and put my pjs on! I can't wait to have the energy everyone talks about . When does the energy come I wonder .Today eating approximately 1000 calories w e trembly low carbs I'm not feeling energetic at all. I'm just wondering if post op you are eating even less , where does the energy come from ?

Wow Amazing ! When you lost the 30 lbs did you ever think of not doing the sleeve ?

I'm March 2. Started pre op diet today! Still haven't got my insurance authorization but hoping its a go!

@shawnak911 What do you mean by with the sleeve they go back to constantly dieting? Isn't it the same with the bypass?

My nutritionist gave me a very detailed list of what I can eat the two weeks pre op. It consists basically of five meals a day and you pick something from each column until you have had your five meals. Two columns are basically shakes one column is specific Protein bar and I ther column is 4 oz lean protein and veggies . The list is very specific on brand and quantity allowed . The same with post op up till day 50 only specific foods for each stage ie liquid, soft food mushy foods etc . Only eat what is listed nothing else
