Recommended Posts

I'm the 13th too! Wahoo! It's getting closer. I did all my pre-op blood work along with the chest x-ray and EKG yesterday.

2/13 also - Lake Norman Medical, Mooresville, NC. Good successful surgery, recovery and new life everyone.

Maybe I need to eat more protein!

I am new to this forum, but read all the posts and I'm still nervous about the surgery. I have my surgery date which is February 19. Started my liquid diet today and am trying not to think about how hungry I am.


I'm the 19th as well! I have to say, I'm surprisingly not hungry. Or at least barely. But I have had about 80g of Protein and tons of Water and Powerade zero. And some fat free Soup.< /div>

I have surgery on Monday (2/10) am getting a little nervous, but yet excited to get going. It's time for me to take my life back, and I know this is going to be a great start. Good luck everyone!

Try getting more! I'm still not really hungry halfway through day 2. It's amazing. And my lovely monthly visitor came last night. Thought for sure that would make me want to eat everything in my house. Haha.

I'm agreeing with SJ, it's all about the Protein. First day I was hungry but got about 80-90 grams protein, I had a head game/fight going on with an apple fritter, but I didn't cave. I knew it was Bc it's my favorite pastry. Not Bc I was actually hungry. Yesterday and today I feel fine as far as hunger goes. Headache the first 2 days but feeling good today.

How are you getting your protein? Is it just Protein Shakes?

Me too...how are you coping it? I am a full time student so Im trying to get a head in school work but find myself here reading to get ready lol....hiws your preop diet?

Preop diet sucks! First few days were rough! I got lucky because they put me on antibiotics during preop so they added more foods I could eat. I'm a teacher so I'm trying to do as much work now as I can and leave lesson plans for when I'm gone. How are you doing?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
