Started my pre-op diet!



Recommended Posts

2 weeks until I get banded! Getting excited but also very nervous! Some encouragement would be nice just to keep me on the right path during this very low calorie diet!! Whoever said weight loss surgery was the easy way out???!!!!!!!

I always say, this is the time to prove to yourself that you have the strength do this. Many have done it before you. Find your inner strength. I would always tell myself that hunger is just a sensation that can be ignored. Like if you jamb your toe, you just go on with your day and get over it. Same with the hunger. Usually, after the first few days, your body will adjust and the bad cravings will dissipate. Embrace the cleansing! Best wishes!

If you go on one day at a time, it will be easier..Even though pre-op diet is anything but easy.

Think of the reward at the end of the road. It is worth it.

Best of luck !

      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? 🤷‍♀️
