I am. Haven't gotten my scheduled date yet. The 2 week fast during Christmas and New Years will be hard.

Yes, its definitely going to be hard. I am already cutting back on my food intake and replacing one meal with a Liquid Protein shake. Not sure if my body is going through withdrawals or its just nerves. I start tomorrow with 2 replacement shakes. Breakfast and dinner. I'm glad I joined this forum; )

@slinkielovin when do you go for your pre~op visit? My sx is scheduled for Jan 16th the lap band coordinator advised me of my one week liquid diet b4 surgery. I have been doing good but jump off the bandwagon on the weekends. Best of luck to you!

My Dr. Doesn't have me on any kind of diet or fast before my surgery. Is that weird?

I had no pre-op diet either. Just no food after midnight the night before surgery.

      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.
