Hi Everyone-

I am new here and happy to have found this site. I am getting banded on Feb 7th and I can't wait. I start the pre-op diet on Thursday. I'm a bit nervous but know I can do it.

I look forward to getting to know you all.

Peace~

I am being banded on February 7th too! I can't wait. I started my pre op liquid diet on Monday? It hasn't really been that tough. Except when you have to watch someone else eating. :) good luck and let's keep in touch with our struggles.

Hi There-

I am also doing ok with the pre op diet. Mine doesn't seen as strict as many of the others. I am not on all liquid. Mine is very low/no carb, high Protein and lots of veggies. I do also drink 2 shakes a day. 1x for Breakfast and 1x as a snack. So far so good.

Best of luck to you and I will be thinking of you on 2/7...let's stay in touch and help each other out...This is going to be a huge life change and I want all the help and support I can get...and I will be there to help and support you too.

Enjoy the day!

Ally

Wow! That is so great that you get to eat a little bit of other carbs and Proteins. I am on my 9th day of all liquids. I have 4 or 5 shakes a day and lots of Water. I have had some carrots and tomatoes too because I need to chew and that was approved by my surgeon. Other than that...nothing. I really don't think it has really sunk in yet that it's THIS Monday. How are you doing?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
