Surgey scheduled for the 7th of March. Down 3lbs in two weeks. Goal is to lose 10 before day of surgery. Pushing the fluids hard. Hope I can do it.

Are you doing pre-op shakes? I have a week of shakes to do before my op on March 1st, but have started a couple of days early. It's hard but do-able. Let's get those livers of ours shrunk down to size!B)

Good luck over the next couple of weeks

No pre-op shakes. Water, sf Jello (lots of water) salads. I'm wondering if I'm begining to look like a rabbit. LOL.

We have our surgery on the same day. I had to start my pre-op diet today. I am at work and everybody is eating lunch and I am ready to start choking people. I also had to ditch my Diet Coke. It was a great relationship. I have not been through a breakup this bad in years....lol

If you need any help make sure to stay in touch...:)

I have been on the liquid diet for 1 week. I have lost 20 pounds. It is very hard to stay on it, but I am trying my best. I have had a few things to eat here and there, but very very little! I see my dr tomorrow for pre-op. Surgery is Monday, Feb 28!

Good luck and the really hard days seem to be Days 1 through 4. After that, it is a little easier!

Yesterday, I did so well with my diet. only fruits and vegetables. We are getting a storm tomorrow, so I stopped at the store on my way home from work this morning and I shopped HUNGRY. I go monday to hopefully get scheduled for the surgery. I will just accept what happened and move on.

What kind of liquids do you take in on the liquid diet besides Water?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
