My surgery date is September 26 and I'm so excited! This has been a long time coming. I just hope and pray that everything goes as planned. One thing I am concerned about is shrinking my liver on this preop diet. My doctor recommends a low calorie diet, 1200 to be exact instead of a liquid diet. Has anyone else had success in shrinking her liver without an all liquid preop diet? I would be devastated if I couldn't have the surgery due to a fatty liver :'(

Im getting banded in September as well' date=' but im worried about being able to stick to the preop diet, i kindof think if were able to be so disciplined in xalorie restriction, i wouldnt be overweight and needing the surgery. Anyone else jave these thoughts?[/quote']

I have these thoughts all the time. I always read people say how disciplined you have to be after being banded. I feel like if I had discipline I would be the size I am and wouldn't need the band. I've tried countless times to lose and failed each time. Hopefully I won't fail at this :(

Finally got my date September 20 :rolleyes: I still have to get a scope test down my throat on the 13th but so far so good. I am not enjoying the Protein Shakes and no carb meals, but they said have to loose 10 lbs before surgery. already had to loose 36 to get approved and that took a year, wish me luck 10 lbs seems impossible, but I have waited to long to screw up now.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
