Seen the nutritionalist today and my weight went up 6lbs which takes me up to a BMI of 55 :( I need to lose 2-3lbs a week until surgery. I was told if my BMI is 50 or higher pre surgery then I will be on a 3 week pre op diet( 2 shakes and a sensible meal) and the post op diet is 4 weeks(1wk liquid 2wks mush and 1wk introducing solids) :) I asked how likely it is to get my surgery Sept 19 and was told that's a great date to shoot for! I'm very excited to start my journey and just wish it was September already! I need to work on eating slower and smaller bites still and I went and tried to get a food scale but they don't carry them so I will try a different place tomorrow! I already bought my gas x :) I am trying different Protein drinks now so I know what I like when it time to only being able to drink the Protein Drinks.

How is everyone else doing today?!

Thank you! I know it's going to be a huge life change but I am so ready! Tired of being fat an not able to move without pain! I went and bought some Atkins meals, the steam veggie packs for the microwave, Pure Protein frosty chocolate, and a food scale! I had a Naked chocolate banana juice for Breakfast and had pizza at Peter Piper pizza for summer days so dinner will be another shake or juice! I want to see how well I can stick to this meal plan!

I am trying really hard not to "sneak" a taquito I made for the kids! I bought Water and I'm waiting for it to get cold so I can make my shake! I am going to try the pre op diet and add fruits and veggies because the nutritionalist said I need to do a 2k diet right now so my body doesn't go into starvation mode

Me too... not looking forward to the no food. But, looking forward to the changes I am sure to both see and feel.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
