i can do a shake for breakfast.shake for lunch and dinner would be Protein only.in between sugar free Jello and boullion only.water also.i guess when i leave work im so hungry from not eating at work those those shakes that all i think about is food

If you're starving eat a piece of meat or boiled egg or some string cheese I've had to do that and it won't hurt your weight loss

Anyone else here not do a preop diet? I'm June the 4th I go to see the surgeon on the 29th and also have a preop class on the 30th. But there is no preop diet other than 2 days of clears before surgery. I see everyone on here doing 2 weeks and it scares me! What if my liver is too big? Ect,ect,ect! I trust my surgeon and staff the center is a center for bariatric excellence and he is a top trained surgeon. People from all over the country come to him for their surgery and his complication rate is well below the national average. I know he knows what he is doing but it's all so confusing lol! I'm gonna make a list of questions for when I see him next week. Sorry for the long rant!

I don't have a pre op diet. I just can't eat past midnight night before surgery. I'm afraid I'm going to gain weight too because I stopped one of my meds and it can cause you to gain weight. I think I'm gonna do some mirolax or something couple days prior just to be safe.

My Dr requires a pre-op diet that is 30g carbs or less for 30 days and then two days before surgery you do a bowel prep with the magnesium citrate. But, thankfully no liquid diet before because I have two weeks of it afterwards.

Nope no preop diet , only the night before ...if I was able to do a 2 week liquid diet , I wouldn't need this surgery LOL I give you all alot of credit being able to , but my DR doesnt require it ...my op date is June 6 so I figure I'll start to ease up like 3 days before

Ok guys so this past week was hell. I received a call from my surgeons office on Fridays saying that my PCP hadn't cleared me for surgery because my blood/iron levels were low. Needless to say I was livid!!! So I spoke with my PCP and she told me it would be better to wait several weeks to build back up reserves....several weeks!!! I told her I still wanted it done in June and that I would do what I needed to, to get my levels up, so I started taking my Iron pills twice a day along with eating red meat, liver veggies, raisins, and algae. Just had my blood drawn today wish me luck....tentative new date is June 11th

Hello to all the June sleevers and please come back here and keep us posted on your journey!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
