One Week To Go Til Surgery



Recommended Posts

Hi All -

I am new to this forum but have been reading post for a while! I have one week to go til surgery and ready ! The pre op diet has been difficult.. Thankfully the headaches are not as bad as the first few days.I really miss chewing. Did anyone else go through that ? Anyone else having surgery on April 7?

Welcome! I am having surgery on the 11th. I just started my second week of the pre-op diet. Once I got past the first few days, my cravings subsided. I did have to come off of the Optifast products my doctor had me on though - they just didn't agree with my system. So now I am following a different liquid diet and it isn't too bad. Stick with it and GOOD LUCK!!! I will be watching for your updates.

congrats on getting a date. I am getting sleeved on 4/10. So excited and nervous. The liquid diet is hard, first week I crashed and burned then realized I HAD to make it work. I feared I'd be that one person that gets on the table and the doctor says nope, can't do it because my liver is too big. I think the first 3 days are the hardest then your body kind of adjusts. I've found that even when i do palm sized meal in the evening I'm full. I do one Protein shake for Breakfast and lunch and in between Water. If I get the case of the munchies I eat sugar free Jello. I find sipping shakes (EAS AdvandEdge) and Water with a straw helps me savor it more and I take longer to finish it.

Can't wait to see our progress. See you on the losers bench :D

I am having it 4-12 also. I am not so nervous, but i havent told many people. Waiting till after so i dont have to hear anyone doubt me. I m looking forward to size8 clothes! Or anything smaller than 18! I started pre-op diet monday and today was the worst! I miss chewing, also! I usually go for sweets, but it seems that all i am getting are sweets, or milky drinks! I could use some salt or crunch, but alas... All will be worth it!

Hi! I'm also having my surgery April 12th! I am so excited and ready!I told my sister and my mom and they are both very supportive. My sister is even going to stay the night with me. I didn't tell my brothers I didn't think it was important for them to know...I do miss chewing but the liquid diet hasn't been too bad for me. I'm supposed to drink 5 shakes a day. I can only get down 3 but they said its ok. I have lost 5lbs since I started it!

I also work nights and my eating habit are all over the place. I have never been much o a drinker of flds so that will be a challenge. Since we have the same day surgery, i am praying for all to go well with you, also. Good luck and i would love to keep up with all your changes!

My sleeve is April 17. I am excited for all of you. Yes I am hungry but know that I will eat again. I'm glad it's not thanksgiving and Christmas food all the time. Makes Easter not so bad. I dream of food crazy as that sounds. All of you inspire me thanks for sharing your journey.

      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.
