My date is the 18th. I've been doing surprisingly well on the pre op diet til today. I had an all day pre op testing and education with nothing to eat or drink since last night. By the time I got done I was so hungry, shaky and had a bad headache so I pulled into McDonald's and got a sandwich. I'm so upset that the whole reason I cheated was because of the testing. I'm getting right back on it tonight but I'm so frustrated.

Good luck! I'm on the 18th too. Just did all my pre op testing yesterday. I know everything I need to at this stage but I am feeling so unprepared for some reason

Congrats!!!

I was Sleeved dec12 and went from around 237 to 219.2 this morning .... Down almost 18 pounds in 13 days ... I am a bit fatigued and still on full liquids but I know I'll feel better with time. Trying my best to keep a positive mindset during this very emotional time.

Merry Xmas Sleevers. Newbie. I am having surgery tomorrow 12/26. I am excited & nervous at the same time.

Went to an open house the 1st week of November. Met with doctor on 11/27. Im a very busy person and with my schedule it was either try and do it at the end of December or wait until June. I wasnt really down for waiting. So got everything done, appointments, psych eval, insurance approved all in 3weeks time. Crazy!!

Starving at the moment. Started Pre-Op stuff today. Just Clear liquids until midnight tonight, and then nothing until Friday, hopefully after the Upper GI looks good. The broth is ok, but Im sure by the time I have my post-op appt on 1/6, I am going to be going nuts!!

Anyways, needed to lose 15-20lbs by surgery. Lost 20lbs in 3 weeks. No fast food, a little exercise, healthy eating, no pop, just Water, Vitamin Water Zero & Powerade Zero. Cheated this past weekend seeing as this was going to be the last weekend for quite some time where I would eat real food....gained 5lbs. haha But I think I will be back down tomorrow morning to by 20.

A little nervous for tomorrow. I have never had a major surgery before, let alone gone under anthesia...so just weary of what to expect. Glad I found this site though. This will help Im sure!!

Welp, made it through the surgery on Thursday. Friday was a blah day. Started drinking Water, but that was about all I wanted to have. They tried some Jello and broth, but it wasn't agreeing with me. Today, much better! I feel pretty good and my incisions don't hurt as much.

      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.
