Hi I am in day 4 of my pre op diet. I am scheduled feb 10th for my gastric sleeve. I am wondering if there are some filling recipes anyone has found for the pre op. I'm starving!

Had my sleeve today! I feel much better than I thought if would! So thankful to have the surgery over with! Now, on to the new me!

Yay Jerzi!! Congrats... Is it like u expected?

It's better than I thought it would be. I needed pain meds as soon as I woke up and they worked wonders. Now, it's 2:30 am and I am only on Torradol-nothing really crazy.

I hope u have a continued success with your recovery! Congrats

Even though my surgery is not till September, (thanks blue cross & blue shield) my surgeon said I would not be on liquid diet before the surgery. I am not sure if that's because I have a low BMI or that's just how he runs things. I considered myself lucky.

Marie. U crack me up! "I can't wait to have clavicles" lol

Lol! I can't! I wanna look like Scarlett Ohara! Lol!!

I went back to work today...5 days post op...would have gone back yesterday but my office was closed due to inclement weather. Literally feel 100% with the exception of my intake only being fluids lol. Sleeve=Best thing ever so far!

Hi I am Olive, doing my surgery March 24th. very nervous about doing my pre op diet. I am reading all the discussions I can hope I will get some good advice here.

Ask away.... I'll be one month post op on the 10th.

I'm pretty frustrated that for the last week and a half my weight toggles between 248 and 251. I was losing about a lb a day and I've been stuck at the same weight for a week and a half. And I'm not understanding how I can gain 3 lbs when I can barely eat. I ate half of a meat ball last night and a few bites of potatoes. Grrrr! I hope my body isn't done losing weight cuz that's a lot if money for 30 lbs.

My weight has been fluctuating by a pound the past couple days too. I'm sure it'll even itself out.

How do you manage just having the fluids? Don't you get hungry?

In my preop diet I did get hungry and I did have headaches the first week. BUT the second week was much better and a lot easier. And now... My stomach never growls but I know I'm hungry when my stomach just feels empty. It's hard to explain until you experience it.

So ur loss has slowed down too?

Right now yeah. Haven't lost anything since Monday
