Since I have always be a volume eater I knew this was going a challenge. After a visit to my nutrisionist, I started a kinda low fat diet and low carb. My goal is to get to 30 grams or less. I wasn't 100% sticking to it but I worked on it. Now that I have gotten all that sugar out of me I'm not that hungry.

Since I haven't been that hungry I decided to practice. I'm not alway's 100% percent with that either but, I have been eating slower and chewing alot. I'm amazed at how quickly I felt satisfied without eating a mound of food. I think before I continued to eat because it just tasted so darn good.

I'm fortunate that I don't have a dreadful pre-op diet. I am having surgery this friday at 7:30 and only have to do Clear liquids on Wendsday an Thrusday. I have lost 14 lbs so far. Call me crazy but I think I'm going to start my pre-op early. Why not I've got to give it up anyway. At least until Wednesday I can eat if I am hungry.

I will keep ya'll informed.

Clear Liquids day 1-3, full liquids day 4-8, soft foods day 9-15. Day 16 and on ward regular food. Low carb and low fat. Like I said I was lucky. Since I had 2 abnormal EKG's for the first time in my life, I had to do a stress test but everything seems to be OK. Got released for surgery. I had breasr cancer last year that scared me so I decided this was what I needed to do. Now that there is a possibilty of heart diease on the horizen. I don't think I could be more motivated that I am right now.

We all have to much life to live and I'm not wasting another minuite on this crazy merry go round.

Great idea Hippychick. I have been doing high Protein low carb too - and cutting down the volume and eating more slowly. All the best on your journey. I look forward to your next update.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
