I thought I was going to be the lucky one who had no pre-op diet BUT I was wrong . U have to do a 2 day clear liquid diet (surgery is this Thursday) and I have already lost 2 pounds in like one day . I have a horrible headache and I am grouchy ! Is this normal ?

After today, it is done. Are you nervous? I have a question for u since you have Tricare...did you lose weight on your 3 month supervised weight loss program with your Pcp? I'm not losing anything just staying steady. He but me on a 1200 calorie diet and walking 30 minutes 3 times a week.

To be honest, I didn't have to do anything but come for a weigh in and get vital signs for my pcp. I wasn't put on a diet or anything. In three months, I lost 3 pounds total ! Thats all, I went to a nutritionist who basically talked to me about food after surgery. Still didn't have s diet. My pcp wouldn't do the supervised diet so she referred me to the nutritionist and included that in her notes . I had both appointments back to back (visit from pcp and nutritionist) so they could compare notes for 3 months. Honestly, tricare doesn't care about that lol they just want to know if you are committed before they give up some free money !

I had to do a 2 week low carb high Protein diet. My surgeons office required me to purchase the shakes and bars from them. You got 4 A day and 4-6 ouches of meat and veggies as your free meal. I had trouble sticking to it. I did get headaches but that may have bern from the caffeine withdrawals. I was very moody. It's almost over with. Thursday will be here before you know it. Good luck to you.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
