I am in the last days of my preop diet! My surgery is Monday also!!!!! My surgery is at 1:30 in afternoon. I am so ready. How are you doing?

My surgery is monday morning! I'm feeling very nervous (mainly about the anesthetic) but excited at the same time. Really struggling with the pre-op diet this week. I know it's my last chance to eat before liquids so that's all I want to do!!

Ok so I know where my headache is comming from now. Day one of my pre op diet and I can already tell I am going to be hell on wheels...I would not have it any other way because I have my eye on the prize! A healthier me

Tamara I felt awful for the first four days of pre- op. Bad headaches, no energy, and just downright horrid. My surgeon said to expect bad headaches for the 4-5 days due to sugar and carb withdrawal. You will feel better soon :)

Hi - I am brand new here - my first time. I'm scheduled for my lapband on 8/13. I'm nervous but excited. I've started my 2 week pre-op diet and I'm on my 4th day. Surprisingly, I'm not doing too bad. Can't believe I've not had any diet pepsi in almost 4 days!! Even though they say you can during the pre op diet, I decided to just cut it now since they say no carbonation after the surgery. The part that seems hardest for me is that a lot of my social time was around eating out with friends/family. SO I'm feeling rather lost and kind of deprived. I lost my husband 3 years ago and I have eaten out a lot since then with friends/family and so this will be a huge change. I'm ready to get this weight off though. I just need to be sure I keep a variety of "legal" things available that I can have. For those of you on the pre-op diet, do you eat any fruits vegetables during the day, in between your morning and lunch Protein Shakes?

I think that many of us have different pre op options, I bought sugar free Popsicles and fudgsicles, lots of sugar free drink mixes, Special K Protein Drinks and chick and beef broths. Also have Tomato Soup and drinking hot and sour Soup from the Thai restaurant right now..yummy! I have to stay at 1000-1200 calories

I'm on day 4 of my 2 week pre op diet. I'm having lots of diahreah. Anyone else have this problem? I'm wondering if it's the low fat almond milk that I'm mixing my shakes with. Anyone have any advice here?

Hi Terri,

Have you tried just mixing the shakes with Water? I use the Optifast shakes (Australian so not sure if you have the same) and they taste pretty good with just Water. You might also be intolerant to an ingredient in the shakes? Perhaps ask your surgeon if you can swap them for something else because you will get very weak if that continues :(

Take care xx

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
