Mine is Tuesday and I can honestly say that I am finally getting a tad nervous. We will all do fine and have a great new beginning!

So since we are all this week coming up what were your pre-op diets that your surgeon gave you mine has been 1 week liquid diet, and it's been pure hell just because I hate feeling hungry!

I started mine on May 31st. So for the first week, it was 4 Protein Shakes and a small meal with no red meat and very low carbs. I had to stay under 1000 calories. Then after my preop class on June 8, I could only have 2 Protein shakes and one small meal. I had to keep it under 1000 calories a day but I've ended up keeping it between 600-700 calories a day! :huh: Yeah, I've had a few meltdowns from being hungry or just plain not feeling satisfied. It has truly been one of the hardest things I've done in my life.

Mine was SF Jello, SF popsiccles, low Na broth, crystal light, Protein shakes, Water, and 1 SF pudding a day for 2 long weeks! I am sitting here starving with cotton mouth! I am so sick of everything that sometimes I just dont eat anything. I am scared as (bleep), but Ill be glad to start full liquids after surgery. Good luck to every one. Lets keep in touch :rolleyes:

      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? 🤷‍♀️
