Anyone else scheduled for that day or week? Am on 2nd day of total opti-fast (did 1 1/2 weeks 2 meals opti and one light meal and lost over 10 lbs). This is definitely the hard part - watching and smelling food but am trying to keep myself focused

My kids desperately wanted Chinese food over the weekend, but that is my weak spot. I can't have it anywhere in the house. I asked them pretty please, for me, to not have us bring it while I am on this pre-op diet, and they understood.

I promised to get them pizza anytime - I can always resist that, by history I know if I eat one piece, I eat 5, so I never even start with the first piece. But no chinese! Egg rolls .... yum ... who knows when I will have those again, I'm sure they are not very band friendly, but oh well.

I am with you two, I am next week!

May 21st is my special day, so I am right behind you! I have my pre-surgical physical exam on Monday at the Outpatient Center where I will be having my surgery. I'm glad I get to see the place beforehand. I think it will be more real to me after Monday.

I am on Monday, 5/17!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am currently on my pre-op diet....Wed - Saturday = only liquids plus a dinner (Protein, salad, & steamed veggie); Sunday = liquids only; Monday surgery!!!!

I ALMOST made a mistake. I havent really craved anything because the Protein shakes make me full and I only had to do it for a few days. But I wanted a few pretzels after dinner knowing I wont have any solids for 2 weeks now. I put them in my mouth, chewed and then internally yelled at myself and spit them out. I even rinsed my mouth out so I wouldnt taste them. What was I thinking? We are all human. :redface:

Best of luck to you!!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
