Pre-Op Appt. Today..on Liquids 3 Days Now...



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I had my pre op appt. today, it all went great! I am ready, willing and able! Whats killing me is this liquid diet...ugh...I am hungry! I must admit, for me the first day was the toughest so far for me. I had a family reuniom to attend, there was food galore and I couldn't eat a thing! I remained strong! It was tough, I felt like crying on the way home in the car. My stomach now is growling, making all kinds of noises, its not happy being hungry..

I kept thinking my surgery was on Monday, its on Tues. ugh.....

I need other hungry liquid people to give me a pep talk! I have lost 4 more lbs. but now I can't change my ticker again... :wacko:

I was also starving on liquids, I am now on soft foods or mushies.

My stomach hasn't stopped growling since my surgery 4/25/2012.

I could have fat free popsicles and fat free Jello on my liquids.< /p>

The Jello was the one thing that sort of filled me up.

Good luck to you on your journey.

AND remember the liquids don't last forever, you will move on.

Lilbelly,

Yes, I did loose most of my weight on liquids, pre-op and post-op liquids.

I started mushies last Wed 5/09 but I am trying to only weigh once a week.

I will know Wednesday night how I am doing on the mushies.

I have my first fill scheduled for June 5th. :D

      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? 🤷‍♀️
