Is this normal? My doctor didn't say anything about doing that' date=' just no food or drink after midnight. I had to drink that stuff last year when I had my colonoscopy, it was very nasty, but I just chugged it down.[/quote']

I don't have to do it either. I'm wondering if I should????

I am scheduled for my sleeve on the 11th. I woke up yesterday morning with congestion and a lot of coughing. I got worried about not being well by my surgery date. My doctor requires 5 days of high protein/low carb diet and then 2 days Clear Liquids. I have already done 1 day of my Protein diet and the doctor's office calls me and wants to change my date till the 18th. I guess it will give me time to get over this cold' date=' but I was ready and now the delay has made me a little depressed. I prayed that if God does not want me to do this, then he will stop it. Is this God stopping it? I really want and need to lose weight desperately.[/quote']

If God wanted to stop it, He would say 'no'.

Maybe there is a reason only He knows that you need to be on the diet longer. Maybe he is protecting it. Maybe your resolve is being tested.

Remember that you are loved as a daughter. He wants to give blessing, and give us what is best...which is sometimes disguised as trial.

Where are you having your surgery? My doctor is very particular about everything. I was on an all liquid diet for two weeks. Absolutely no solids. I have to take a Multivitamin twice a day and a Calcium three times a day. And then do this bowel cleanse the day before the surgery. I so have to shower tonight and tomorrow morning with special soap they gave me. There is so much. But I am noticing on here all doctors have different procedures. Good luck with everything.

Hey guys been reading all the posts, I keep feeling sick though - sick with nerves and sick with excitement.

Good luck to everyone going under the knife today/tomorrow. Get back quick and tell us how it feels to be on the other side.

Big hugs everyone gilx

@PaperBullets - I am also going through Duke Raleigh. Who are you seeing? I am seeing Dr. Omotosho. I spoke to the nurse today and after my nutrition class, next Monday, they will submit for approval. She seemed to think it would occur quickly but that his next available date is not until the second week of April.

I am scheduled for the 21st. Thank you so much for answering me. It's so great to have this virtual support.

I am scheduled for the 19th. I started the liquid diet today. I imagined it would be a lot worse, but so far so good.

I hope that you are feeling better about it.

Have a great day!

      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 had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
