Did your liquid diets consist of one small meal and then shakes?

No. I have to have a Protein Drink for Breakfast, lunch, dinner and evening snack. I can have SF Jello and SF popsicles and a limited number of fruits and veggies (but only a max. of 2 cups of those a day). I can honestly say I don't feel that hungry but I'm already sick of the shakes and I'm only 1 day in. Ughhh!!!

My surgery is Wed the 3rd. I don't have to do a PreOp diet just a light diet the day before surgery. Getting nervous and excited...but mostly nervous!

Hi' date=' guys! I just got my surgery date last night. I'm scheduled for July 29 and I have to admit I'm starting to freak out a little! I think it's because it seems more real now that there is an actual date set.[/quote']

I'm right with ya had no scared feelings till I found out my date. Maybe because I'm hungry because I'm on a 4 week liquid diet, I'm miserable.

I am scheduled for July 3rd. Preop is scheduled for July 2nd and I am really excited. I would be lying if I said I am not nervous but I would be for any surgery. I am trying to make sure I have everything prepared at home so life will be easy. My doctor gave me a "shopping list" that make post op life a little easier. I have been on my preop diet for 8 days now and have lost 12 lbs. Ready for the numbers to drop.

My surgery is July 10. Today is day 6 of Optifast liquid diet, not going to badly for the most part. Yesterday I was whit queasy and dizzy but I think it was because I went to long between shakes.

Would you mind sharing the shipping list your doctor have you? I am also trying to get organized and would love to see if I have everything I need. Thanks.

Good luck to everyone in July :-)

Just got approved yesterday, finally! It feels so much less stressful, knowing that I am really, seriously approved. I guess the third time (submitting documents to my insurance) was the charm :) No more insurance battles! I was originally hoping for a May surgery date, then I was postponed to June, & now July. The scheduler is going to call me on Weds with my date. Really, really hoping for a July date. If she says August, I think I might have to scream!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
