Okay, it's day 3, and I feel really great!!!! The sugar-withdrawl headache is gone, finally!!! It was HARRRRRRRD to get over that one, let me tell ya! Ouch! When I stepped on the scale this morning, I was down 6 pounds. I'm having frozen dinners that are not over 300 calories (tonight was lasagne) and I'm getting 2 Protein Shakes during the day. Loving Diet Snapple Half & Half, which is an Arnold Palmer (half iced tea, half lemonaid), and my regular cold-pressed nettle leaf tea. You get tons of Vitamins and minerals from that, and it's quite good w/ a bit of Truvia if you like it sweeter. I'm eating romaine w/ wishbone balsamic spray, sugar snap peas as a snack, cucumbers, and had a bit (an ounce) of grilled chicken in my salad tonight. I'm under 800 calories a day, according to the myfitnesspal app. Ooo...had Water w/ Crystal Light's version of Mio, and tonight I squeezed in a bit of fresh orange instead. Very tasty! Still having coffee w/ Truvia and nonfat milk (a tablespoon) but no way can I withdrawl from sugar and caffeine in the same week. Headline "crazed fat woman kills 30 for a latte."

Sooo...man, this is great! Now that I'm over the withdrawl, I feel like this is a total head game from here to surgery. :) Why the hell could I not do this before?!?! Oh yeah, it's because I did not have to think "If I can't do this, no surgery!" Nothing like that to motivate you!

If you are struggling, know it WILL get better!!!! You CAN do this!!!

Way to go! Glad to see what you are eating. I don't start my pre-op until about Memorial Day how ironic! ;)

I don't have a pre op diet, I am just to be the same weight as when I spoke to them 176#. But...I gained some in the meantime so I started a diet today of one Protein Drink, no junk food and healthy eating, lots of Protein and salad. Hopefully I can lose about 7 lbs.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
