Preop I ate like I was never going to eat again- I know that most people wouldn't agree, but I'm glad I did! I didn't go overboard, I even managed to lose a few lbs- but I spent many evenings at the Olive Garden or the drive thru for taco bell and McD's. I'm not advocating eating horribly, but I don't regret it for a second.

hey chunky

congratulations losing 55 lbs -you go girl

before surgey Ii also ate like there was no tomorrow - but oh well - there wasn't !!

go out and have a few of those dinners, and maybe goodies - oh well you deserve them!!! don't worry about eating them in the portions you love, cuz life changes tomorrow! yes before someone else says it, you can eat whatever you want after surgery, ,,,just smaller portions, thats what we're here for right? lol

Good luck to you and all of us, we will succeed!!

best

Chunky

you are going to have to change your name soon

you go girl - 55 lbs and counting

before surery i did overate like there was no tomorrow!!!

once you have surgery you will tame those patterns. But....you will be able to eat alnything you want after surgery too at a later date, just at really small portions, thats what your new sleeve will tell you!!

good wishes on you upcoming journey

      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? 🤷‍♀️
