I really needed to read this post today! I am guilty! I am 6 days to surgery and I have been struggling with this liquid diet. My mind keeps telling me to eat everything you enjoy, cause you will not have a chance after surgery. I fell off today. :-(

I am going to get my act together! Surgery is next Monday 11/19 @ 7am.

I found out my surgery date a little over a week ago and everything is happening so fast!!!!

Keep me in your prayers.

My Surgery is scheduled for 11-27-2012. I woke up this morning and think I have sinus infections. I can get to doctor and get meds but is this going to have my surgery cancelled? Has anyone had this happen?

Keep me in your prayers.

This is a lie, you WILL eventually be able to eat everything you are eating now, post op. Some of them won't be right away and some might be a few years out, but like anything - nothing lasts forever. Work on getting your head straight, this is a mind game! :)

You are in my prayers, for sure.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
