Recommended Posts

Just had my last meal for awhile. Starting my two weak diet in the morning.

I only had to do a 7 day liquid diet. I am on day 5 of mine and it's been hard. My surgery is Wednesday. Good luck you can do it.

Good luck! I started mine 4 days ago. First day was a little hard. It does get easier, and in 4 days I have lost 7lbs!

Im on day 12 of my 2wk pre-op diet. It got a lil easier as I went. Except for having to drink 2 8oz shakes made with Water. Tried all sorts of ways to make it better. Even unflavored protien. Just cant do them anymore. My nut said i could do 3 nonfat milk & 1 water or mix the water in with something water based (I've mixed it in my oatmeal. Also added a 1/2 scoop extra to the milk shakes). Im getting real anxious now. My surgery is on Thurs 12th. I cant believe its almost time!

I guess I'm fortunate to be able to use skim milk with my Protein. Day one wasn't that hard, although I did I dream about eating a cheeseburger last night????. My wife is trying to do the pre-op with me. So that helps a bit. The kids are tough. It's hard not to hover over their food and eat what they don't. Guess that's what I usually do. Didn't notice it till last night. 13 more days to go.

Bummer news today. My surgeon is in the hospital... the office is checking to see if the Insurance will work with the other surgeon to perform the surgery. One week of no food possible down the drain :angry:

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
