Hello,

First Post very nervous and apprehensive. May date is March 20th.

Hi! We are bandtwins; my surgery date is also March 20th...three weeks away!

Getting excited and I actually dreamt that I got the surgery....the dream was so vivid from start to finish. It was a cool dream, but now it's like I have to go through it a second time!

Three weeks will go by in a flash...it will be great to be on "the other side."

Wish a smooth an uneventful pre to post-op to all March bandsters!

Has anyone that is on their pre op diet experienced being light headed?

Yes, I have. I usually try to drink something and wait through it. If it does not go away, I have a little Protein, and sometimes chicken boullion helps as well. I had a headache all day yesterday, and think it may have been related.

No not so far. Could be low blood sugar. That's one of the symptoms. I'd call the dr and let them know. They may let you add some extra Protein. If its bad now and the office is closed, eat some extra protein anyway. It will bring up your sugar and keep it steady. You could then call tomorrow.

Ugghhh just got denied and now they have to do a peer to peer on Monday and my surgery is supposed to be Tuesday. I swear if it isn't one thing it's another very disappointed right now!

Thank you that is what I was thinking.

This is my first post on a message board EVER...but I figured the best way to get started is just to jump in! I am scheduled for surgery on March 14th. I start my two week liquid diet on Friday...only 1 1/2 days left to eat food...lol...I am counting them down like it's my "Last Supper"...it's crazy how food rules a person's life!! I am definitely more nervous about the pre-op diet than I am about the post-op diet...

      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? 🤷‍♀️
