    I have a question to everybody:

    I am 4 weeks out and already back to exercising (I have been exercising regularly for 2 years and is quite fit for my size). I am instructed to eat no more than 600 calories a day but I am already burning more than that working out (today I burned 1000 calls at orange theory then 400 doing Krav Maga (self defense) class). Is 600 clas enough? I am not hungry and have lost 21 lbs since op day. Thanks!

    I would check with your dr for sure (and report back). I routinely walk over 10k steps (a week post op now) and wonder what will happen when I bring lifting. How have you been feeling post work out?

    7 days in on my liquid pre-op diet...... I'm making it! I find that I hate bullion, ice pops, pudding, jello..... I'm drinking Premier Protein Clear- mixed with water- its got 20 grams of protein- for a "snack", tea- de-caf, with skim milk, and Premier Protein 30 gr. Protein Shake for meals. I drink Water, Water, water.

    I feel sloshy inside weak!!!! but surgery is in 7 days- at this point, that's all I can think about- liquid diet, smiquid smiet- who cares! Soon it will all be over!

    Congrats!!! 7 days out!! I’m 11 days out. Have you tracked how much you have lost? I have a food based pre op. But have been doing a little liquid cause there is only so much rice and chicken a gal can eat.

    Hi All

    my first post here

    had my surgery on 1/9. Only lost 4 lb in one week. I am reading some folks have lost as much as 10-15 lbs in the same period. Concerning?

    HW: 340 lb

    Surgery day: 275 lb

    If you are ever worried about how much you hack most put 4 x 1lb bricks of butter in front of you. It’s a huge amount. Be gentle with your body. Also know everyone loses differently. Just keep at it!

    I have surgery in two days Jan 16 2023. I am started to want to back up. I am hearing a lot of horror stories and I am worried about pain and leaks and feeding tubes. Ughhhh I am having a breakdown. I am trying to be positive but I do not want to regret this.

    Know that this is all your choice. So what you feel Comfortable doing. But also know that thousands of these surgery’s are done annually. There are bound to be a few horror stores. But keep looking at the positive ones

    Thank you!! How is your pre-op diet going? What all are you eating and drinking?
