I'm sorry y'all... Day 4 of my pre op diet. No food. Just Protein Shakes & Water & I'm really hungry. I know I'm doing this for a very good reason but I'm SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY frigging hungry & obsessing about food!!! All the self talk in the world isn't stopping my tummy from rumbling. I'm drinking 4-5 Protein shakes a day. And a lake full of water...

Oh ..I'm so sorry but curious did Ur doctor not give u a list of approved veggies and tell u its OK to replace a shake with a few ounces of boiled chicken? Salads with fat free / sugar free dressing ? If u need the list I can e mail it.. let me know

Sleeved yesterday! What a positive experience. No nausea, no pain, exept some collarbone pain, which the pain meds took care of. Sipping Water, tea and broth without any problems at all. I stayed overnight at the clinic because I have sleep apnea and use a cpap maching, and I was glad to be there. The nurses were wonderful. Back home today and starting on the next stge of this adventure. Don't stress too much, future sleevers. It's really not bad at all (so far, lol)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
