Awwww u have a lot going on at once!! Hard to deal with the emotional part of it for sure. I feel the same way u do. I start my liquid diet next Friday and I keep thinking wow I only have 6 more days to enjoy good food and alcohol!!! Going out to eat tonight and then having a party tomorrow night. It's sad :(. BUT it will all be worth it!! Just keep telling yourself that! You will be healthy and feel so much better!! I'm sweating my ass off at work today cuz I've been running all over the place (I am a Secretary for 4 diff departments). I can't wait not to sweat so much!! It's embarrassing!!!! My hair is drenched :(

i feel for you with the sweating thing...im doing the same thing! its so gross! and my breathing...i feel like a porn star volunteering at my kids' school. LOL!

How is pre-op diet for everyone going? Mine doesn't start till the 9th....I'm a little nervous, I'm not great at telling myself no, lol

i have not figured out the multi quote thing yet...sorry for all the responses! i just wanted to tell you that i did the liquid diet 5 years ago...and i never thought i could do it! but you will. and you really aren't hungry...it shows you the difference between what they call head hunger and real hunger. the Protein Shakes make you full...but you want to just eat everything in the house! LOL! you can do it! just post here when you think you cant. :)

After tomorrow I start my Clear Liquids for my surgery Wed. I am getting emotional thinking about all the foods I can not eat anymore. Seems like I am going through a grief process.

My pre op diet is shake for breakfast, shake for lunch, green salad with fat free dressing and a lean solid Protein i.e. chicken breast, steak, and another shake after dinner if needed. Any sugar free fluids in addition are fine. This is just what my dr. wants me to do.

My pre-op is exactly the same- for two weeks. I start Monday. I went and bought a bunch of Lean Cuisine meals for dinners this couple of weeks. Praying for self control. :)

So to those who have already been through surgery how much have your tastes changed afterwards I have been getting sample Protein powders and different things to try but was told not to stalk up till I found out what I liked after and what I could handle.... Just wondering if anyone's had drastic changes or just minor ones?

      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.
