I Am On My 1St Day Of Pre-Op Diet!



Recommended Posts

I recently found the Syntrax Nectar Protein Powder, and had it overnighted. This has been a godsend! Instead of being really thick, it's just slightly thicker than Water. If you've ever had Sunny D, I would say that's a good comparison as far as consistency.

Well, if this can be a bit of a motivator, after 8 days of pre-op liquid only diet, I fit into a pair of jeans I have not worn since 2007. I can't tell you how much I lost since i don't own a scale, and still on the fence about getting one, but wow! super impressed with my will power. Keep it up guys!! this is bringing us closer to our dreams. :rolleyes:

See! You had it in you all the time! I wore a skirt today that I haven't worn in 8 months. The back would ride up because of my big *$s. SO HAPPY!

Good luck to all of you just starting your journey. It's hard in the beginning, but really helps prepare you for whats to come and also the weight loss is a big incentive. I had surgery end of June this year and I've lost 40+ lbs and it feels amazing. I feel and look so much better already! I didn't think I would make it in the beginning, but decided to follow the rules and not cheat. I still eat mostly all Protein, no bread or Pasta. It's becoming routine now and I just don't have as much desire to eat the junk food. The scar on my belly is a forever reminder to stay on course. Hope your surgery goes well and your journey is successful.

      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.
