I too am on pre-op diet. Are you getting any Protein? Protein is very important, both now and after. Can you drink Protein Shakes? My favorite is Pure Protein. 30 g protein. Everyone has their preference.

I start mine the 21st for December 6 surgery. Not looking forward to it t all, since I always look forward to thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, but ultimately I know that missing this one year will probably add 30+ years to my life.

I'm on the 20th also==we're surgery twins--I wish you the best of luck (and to everyone else on their upcoming surgeries). I started my liquid diet last thursday---A couple of days were pretty tough--I think from withdrawal from carbs--it's better now but I'm pretty weak. It will be here before we know it though--from what I've heard, it's not quite as hard after since you aren't that hungry--(I pray that this is true!)

If you like spices or hot sauce that will give it flavor! For dinner I had cream of chicken and put in just a bit of franks buffalo hot sauce! Gave it some flavor and made it better to eat! Lol! I know they td us after we get sleeved and if we can handle it use sauces to spice things up! The weekend will be more challenging for me but I'm gonna keep busy cleaning house ect...

      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? 🤷‍♀️
