3rd day of preop diet and I want to eat my own arm off.....

I was there too! I found that more sipping on fluids helped. In fact. The more time I spend sipping on fluids all day the less I get hungry even now! In my first while post op I did 6 mini-meals a day (even though my doc prefers 3 a day always) I just knew that I would be too hungry!

Also Protein powder in shakes or pudding helped fill me up too.

good luck. It's a process...you will find what works or doesn't work for you!

I started my pre op prior to the required time so I could have more time to adjust it made it easier for me. Hang in there, there is a bigger picture here, keep your eye on the prize! Good luck :)

The first weeks the hardest! You can do this!!! I thought I was going to fail but I just constantly envisioned myself at my goal weight. I drank a lot of Water, coffee and crystal light. Can you eat food or are you all liquid?

I have sympathy.... it was the 5th day before I started feeling human on the pre op liquid. Its a huge shock to the system. You can do this!

I am ALL liquids. I find it harder at night. I work night shift but even when I am at home, I have the emptiest feeling in the world. Its almost like mourning. That is the feeling I am afraid of......I am gonna keep trying my best.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
