Thank you....I have been reading some of the comments on the forum, I have gotten inspiration from here. I am trying to stick to a low carb diet so that I can loose a little extra weight before surgery, but I continue to struggle. I never go over my original start weight but I can't seem to go lower than 142 and then go back up. It's so frustrating!

My surgery is June 6 and I only have to liquid diet the day before

Ya I understand that, for sure. I'm already on high protein and low carb and have been since November. So I guess that's why my doctor only requires 1 day. But I do plan on going liquid for the last 5 days before my date anyway.

I've already kind of started with soft food only and liquids for breakfast and lunch. A d I definitely am getting in 64 ounces of water or more a day. I was already planning g on doing liquid for at least 1 week before my surgery date. So I think I'll be ok (hopefully). My main concern is that even though I'm walking and dieting, I'm still going up and down on my weight. 1 day I'll be at 244 the next day I'm back up to 250. It's just frustrating.

5'1" 250

I was concerned about my liquid diet...I called both my doctor and the surgery nurse and was told that I only have to prep for 1 day before my surgery. Not sure that that is enough time. Anybody else only have to prep for 24 hours?

Are you walking ?

Just be honest with them...if they have a nasty opinion, that's on them not you. You are trying to better yourself and that's all you need to worry about.

I'm June 6

Hi! I have been on this journey for a minute too. I always wanted to have the sleeve because it's less invasive and supposed to be a little quicker recovery time.

Yesss!!! Love those shakes....they taste just like a glass of milk

I felt the same way...I started my journey back in Dec, 2019 (right b4 Covid). So I stayed over again in Sept, 2021. My surgery is now scheduled for June 6. I have been told that if you have the sleeve done initially, that if there is a weight gain later in life, that they MAY be able to perform a full gastric bypass at that time.

Try Cold-Eeze I swear by it!! They are in the cold section at CVS near the cough drops
