-jrodriguez68: don't give up! I'm on day 7, and yes, i'm still hungry, but I weigh myself each morning and can see that it's worth it.

I know. Just frustrated today. We had sales training classes at work today and for the next two days. I am responsible for ordering, setting up and taking down the food for lunch. it looked and smelled really yummy. I didn't have any but it made me cranky nonetheless. I'm luck b/c my pre-op diet does allow me to eat protien and some veggies with my protien shakes but it is still hard. I keep questioning if I have made the right decision. I sure hope so.

You can do this... you made the right decision and you made it through today. When you look back on today 2 months from now, you will not remember what the food smelled like or looked like... you will only be thinking about how great you feel. Drink plenty of Water tomorrow and eat your veggies slowly. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!!

I am on a high protine preop diet that is intended to help deplete the liver of its glycogen stores prior to the operation to help shrink the liver. It consist of 1000 calories a day' date=' 100 grams of Protein a day, and 2 quarts of Water. They have me drinking five 8oz bottles of Slimfast high Protein drinks and a combination of hardboiled eggs, yogurt, and cottage cheese to equal 100 grams of Protein. That is the diet they have me on right up to my surgery. Is anyone else on that type of prep diet? It doesent sound like it and I havent had any of the symptoms people have described in here during thier preop prep.[/quote']

Im on everything except the eggs! Pure liquid and protein!

I'm day one... Ugh!! 13 to go! I'm hungry' date=' tired, Moody, and all I can think is 13 more days! I may not need surgery, this may b the death of me. I spent 120.00 on different flavors hoping it will help, i'm on my 3 cup of hot tea. I was ok at work, but now that i'm home, not so much. I may have to clean and organize my whole house to stay busy. Best of luck December bandsters![/quote']

By day 4 it'll be a tad but easier! Hang in there!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
