Recommended Posts

Someone help me!.. i am sooo struggling on this diet. And to add insult to this " injury"' date=' the nurse practitioner called me and happened to hear how congested i am. She said if it doesnt clear up, they will cancel surgery!!!!!!! Im naturally stuffed up but have had an upper resp infection for the past 2 months...(on and off)

Please pray that this cold clears soon!!.. if they cancel its back to food for a day for me. I cant do this another week.. its torture.

Where i am, we can only have 5 shakes a day. Nothing added but the powder and the milk. We can have broth and crystal liht etc.. nothing more.. i cant do but so much chicken and beef broth. vanilla strawberry and chocolate are now my enemies. Help me lord.. this too shall pass![/quote']

I start mine today! I only get 5 shakes a day too and I'm up for over 24 hours a day. So this will be interesting. I'm am going to struggle I know but we have to remember what the goal is in site. The nut said after kesadosis (sp) is ober about day four it gets easier. Lets keep our fingers crossed! I hope to sleep more through the beginning of the liquids (:

Good luck to you!

Today is my LAST day of food! I feel sad and mad and glad! I go to Clear Liquids tomorrow with 4 Protein Shakes per day with only Water mixed in. Gross. I know this is the right decision for me but it doesn't make the jacked up relationship that I"ve had with food for my whole life any easier to break up!

Wow can't believe my surgery is in 6 days

Me too! I am so freakin' excited. I'm going shopping this weekend so my kids and I are ready for the first few weeks post-op. I don't have to do a pre-op liquid diet so I'm not struggling too much. Superbowl Sunday will be a challenge though. Best of luck to you!

I pray your stomach and mind treats you well... Protein shakes and water is a bit harsh... I swear..I should have started this long ago to prepare for today.

And I fully understand the food relationship. I feel like a little kid who is seeking affection from a parent and being rejected. I can either A) scream and fuss (like Im doing) about how its not fair and continue to do bad things to get any attention, or I can B) deal with it and find something else that will fill the void positively...

I have started walked 9 flights of stairs a day until surgery. Best I can do to take my mind off it..

Best of luck to you. I am here with you~~~~~~~~~

31 years old living in Kansas City, MO. SLeeve date Feb 28, 2013. I cant wait. Im trying to go to bed early every night, so that day can hurry and get here. Going to Walmart this weekend so I can get my Protein mix and Vitamins and pre op stuff. Feels like Christmas for some reason. :D

      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? 🤷‍♀️
