Recommended Posts

Omfg what did I get myself into. I thought oh whatever two weeks piece of cake but I'm on my first day and I literally want to start eating my arm. I'm so hungry! Any tips on how to survive 13 more days of not eating? And last min prep

Today is my 8th day on pre-op diet. The 1st four days were hell almost as if I was detoxing. So much better now. Just think of the outcome!!!!

I totally feel you guys! My surgery is the 20th and I am on day 3 of my lean diet ( forever greatful it's not all liquid). The first day I cheated and told myself just that one time. Yesterday I wanted a pbj soooooo bad and my mind wanted to say just one more time. However we all know one is never enough so I prayed and asked God to get me through the night and shared how I was feeling with you guys on here and I made it through the night.

Mine is on the 20th as well. I am 5 days into my diet as well, first 3 days great, no problem. Yesterday and today I could eat the house. I promised my husband that if I cheated in this diet I would cancel surgery ( he really doesn't want me to do it, he is scared silly). Not going to do either. Cheat or cancel..gotta keep your eye on the prize

I'm on day 7 of my two week diet and I'm not doing too bad. Haven't really been too hungry. At certain times I have been but for the most part I'm doing pretty well. I can have 4 Boost a day and broth.< /p>

I'm now starting day 4. It's got a little better but I'm having cravings. Just more so I think because I can't have it and really want it. I just keep remember there's a reason I'm doing this there's a reasons I got like this in the first place so gotta keep going. My friend had surgery a week ago and another friend 6 months ago they said cheating was going to happen because your body feels deprived. Glad to know I'm not the only may surgery:)

With our date getting closer are you getting more nervous? I'm after day 7 for shakes and it's became easier, like just a part of my routine. We got this though!!! Months of hard work and endless appointments

      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? 🤷‍♀️
