Don't start my Clear Liquids until saturday, for 3 days prior to surgery. Had to quit my hormone replacement yesterday. Hot flashes, no fun but I understand my surgeon is being safety conscious.

I have surgery on 11/4 and woke up with a cold. I'm not on special diet just high Protein low carbs but don't know if I can take meds so close to surgery date. Anyone know of safe meds to take!??

I just had the same thing happen to me. My surgery is 11/6. I'm freaking out! I will die if I have to do this preop diet over again!!

Don't panic until you find out what your doctor's pre-op diet is. I read all these posts about liquids diets, then when I got my instructions, I only had to do low carb. Heck, that's Atkins! And how many times have I done that before? I was so releaved. I am day 5 of the pre-op, with surgery Monday the 11th!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
