My surgery is March 10..... 7 days away. I have been on my full liquid diet for 7 days and I have Lost 12 lbs so far!!!! ???? I will say that the end of day two was painful. My head hurt my legs hurt (low potassium). But I pushed through it. I have 4 children so life for me could not stop. I haven't made my kids suffer for my current situation. We have still went out places. But I have not nor will I cheat! Cause if I cheat I will only be cheating myself....

Last night day 6 I cried myself to sleep cause I just wanted to eat but like I said I have a goal and my eyes are fixed on it!!!!! We will make it guys!!!!!! I'm praying for at least another 13 lbs this week!!! Tomorrow starts Clear Liquids

Hey there!

Well I am on day 14 of my piquid Pre-Op and YES it does get easier! My Dr also allowed me to have sugar free Jello and pudding along with the chicken or Beef Broths.

Not sure were you live but Safeway or their stores (In Texas they are Randalls and Tom thumb) have some AMAZING Protein shakes in their Dairy Department made by Lucerne! Make sure you get the Light ones. They are basically just like the powdered shakes made with fat free milk! They also have a Protein Plus thats an additional 12gms or protein that you can use in your Protein Shakes that increase it to 37gms!

My secret was I'd drink a shake followed by a 16.9oz bottle of Water. When I started getting those salty cravings (chips and cheese are my downfall) Thats when I went for the broth!

Good Luck to ya!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
