Scheduled for Sept 6th! Tentative because my husband is a cancer patient...I have to be strong to help him with whatever comes from his recent tests.

Starting the liquid diet on Monday anyways, just to make sure I can have the surgery if all works out!

Good luck to both of you!

Day one of "high Protein liquid diet" down - 9 to go.

I've been trying out shakes for a while, to find ones I like, and haven't had a problem with it. Today, all of the sudden, I have the worst gas on the planet. WTH??!!?? Do.not.want.

Thinking of you all!

My surgery is scheduled for September 17th. I am so excited and nervous. Right now it seems that the three weeks will never pass, but I know that in reality, I will be at my surgery day in no time.

I was told Dr. Ponce only asks for 3 days pre-op diet of liquids and yogurt.. I'm noticing there are SO many variations between what different doctors require!! I'm just gonna do what he asked for but have definitely scaled down my daily inhalation of high calorie low nutrient foods LOL for the most part I'm already sticking with high Protein low carb and lots of Water, trying to condition myself to it too :P I'm also trying to sllllllllllllllllow down how fast I eat and then really paying attention to when I don't feel hungry anymore. I've noticed there's a big difference for me between 'feeling full' vs. 'not feeling hungry'.

I can do relate!! I have issues with my band, so what I can even eat is terribly limited-I'm lookin fwd to being able to eat a little something & not 'slime' afterwards!! Our countdown is on girl!! I'm gettin way excited! I hope I pack the right things-I'm a total overpacker-gonna try & keep it minimal....

      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? 🤷‍♀️
