I'm trying so hard to eat as little as I can so I lose as much as possible before surgery. It's driving me insane being hungry all the time! I am eating, I have a Protein Shake for Breakfast and eat lightly for lunch and dinner but surgery isn't until 2/27 and I don't know if I can make it.

I know realistically it isn't true, but I feel like I'm going to be hungry forever. UGHHHH

I know how you feel. As I was going through my six month doctor visits and having to lose 15 pounds, I felt like I would never stop eating! Now I am on my two week liquid diet to prepare for surgery. You get used to it by day three or four. Good luck.

Pookybear, my preop diet is the same as yours, but we can have two high Protein Snacks and sf Jello or Popsicles. Whenever I feel hungry, I drink a bunch of Water until I can get to my next meal. Logging in Lose It! I'm eating between 800-1000 per day. Hope that helps.

      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.
