Gah!!!! I'm finally back on. I was going crazy not being able to talk to all my November peeps for a few days! Miss you guys. What's new? How have people done with surgery who have had it? And, people that are coming up - how have you guys been doing on your pre-op diets and losing weight?! I've got surgery the 22nd. I'll be starting day 4 of my 14 day pre-op diet tomorrow. The first couple days were REALLY hard. They have been getting easier...I'm still allowed to eat, I'm just on something called a "ketotic diet" which is basically like Atkins - high Protein, low fat - the only difference being I'm only allowed 4oz protein at Breakfast, 5 at lunch and dinner. Anyone else have something similar to this??

On the iPad app, try clicking on the second to last page, then the last page. It's the way I've been able to see the most current posts in older, long threads.

Phew! Finally found November!!! Hope everyone is doing well that had surgery during the shut down of rny talk. I had my surgery 11/6. Feeling pretty good actually. Having a hard time getting meds down and getting enough protein/fluids in but it seems like everyone has that problem right after. Any ideas to spice up my full liquid diet? ?? I happy I still love tomatoe soup!

I'm new to this thread, I had the gastric sleeve on Nov. 7th. It has been pretty hard to take liquids, but I highly recommend that everyone try as hard as you can to take the liquids b/c the dehydration headache is not worth it! It gets easier everyday. The hiccups and burbs are the most painful part for me...

I'm so excited to keep going, b/c I have already lost 11 pounds!

How's everyone else doing??

Good luck to everyone having surgery tomorrow.

I was suppose to have mine tomorrow but it has been postponed again. I knew I would get sick after my 22 month old grandson puked on me 6 times Tuesday night lol. Dr office said I would be ok as long as I wasn't coughing up anything. Well that started last night. : (.

I called the Dr on call and he said if I was his patient he would cancel surgery. Due to my crazy work schedule due to the holidays, I may try for Dec 6 or Jan 13th.

But on the bright side..... I get to go Black Friday shopping!! Hubby is excited about that lol.

      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.
