Ok... I am so frickin sick of Protein Shakes, broth and Jello I could scream!!!! Today is day 5 so I thought I only had 5 more days to go... but I just realized I need to be on clear/full liquids for the 10 days AFTER surgery too. OMG I never want to drink this stuff again.

Just had to get that out.

How are you feeling Debbie?

Good morning friends, made through day 1 of liquids. Took in 840 calories and burne 2350. Fell a little short on Protein and a bit high on carbs so I need to tweak today. This really sucks! I have no energy I feel like a wet dish rag and it's only day two. I have my pre- op appt today. Thanks for all ur support! Best part of today I see my therapist tonight and boy do I need to unload!

Hi. I hope things get easier as the days go by. I'm on day 3 and I have no energy. Having a hard time getting over 400 cals. How are you making it to 800? Please share. I totally suck at this liquid diet when it comes to ideas on how to get the stuff my body needs to keep burning fat.

Feel free to message me if you just need to vent. There's lots of support here and the good thing is, we are not going through this alone :)

Wishing you the very best

Lala

I'm having a hard time getting my 1000 calories, and i'm not on a full liquid diet. So I dont see how you guys are doing it at all. I havent felt drained as of yet but i'm only on day 2. Today is much better than yesterday. I realize I can survive without having to constantly chew food (and unhealthy food at that). Change makes my anxiety act up and then once it acts up I get nervous I may have a panic attach and well it's all downhill from there. Needless to say I woke up rather chipper today. Let's hope this keeps going.

OMG, I hope there is nothing serious going on with your ticker (heart)! I will be thinking of you. I am scheduled for 5/8 as well for WLS-Lap Band. I cannot wait. I hope that can figure out what to corrent the issue before 5/8 so you are not delayed a long time. Best wishes! I am sure the weight loss would greatly improve any heart issue anyway.

I have a question. I know bread is a no-no cause it has the potential for getting stuck, but what about crackers? Like Ritz, Wheat Thins, Triscuit, etc.? Does anybody know?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
