Any 2014 June Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Hi I'm scheduled for surgery on June 18th and I'm super scared and excited! I start my liquid diet on June 4th but I'm so scared of not succeeding because I'm still struggling with giving up fatty foods.

You are going to do just fine. We all believe in you! The next step is surgery....I bet you can hardly wait. Best of luck to you!

Just a bit of an update on my progress on the 14 day pre-op liquid diet. Started day #7 and have lost 10lbs. It works, even though sometimes you feel like it does not. For those who are looking to start this soon, take my advice...DON'T WEIGH YOURSELF EVERYDAY! You will get discouraged when you don't lose. Have faith, if you are not cheating, it will work. Good Luck to all.

I'm on a day 4 of 10 day liquid diet, lost 5lbs. I still cook for my family, I have to feed the kids :-) it's okay but it's the hardest at dinner time, but my surgery is in 7 days that's one week and that keeps me going.

For people that are doing a pre-op liquid diet, are you guys doing your Vitamins already too? I just find it so weird that I wasn't instructed to do a liquid diet before my surgery...

Ok well I already take a multi Vitamin everyday so maybe I will try to replace at least some of my meals with Protein Shakes just to try to start getting used to it. I only have 1 week to go! June 4th is coming quick!!! Do you guys know what all Vitamins you'll have to do post-op yet? My doctor said multivitamins, vitamin b-12, and Calcium. I was kinda shocked to hear there was only 3 because I remember hearing stories about people having to take "so many" vitamins the rest of their lives.

My surgery is on June 4 too.

After the surgery I was told to take multivitamins but they have to be chewable as well as B12 after few weeks and calcium all chewable,

People that take a lot of vitamins all there life is people who had bi-pass

Hi, they want you to do a liquid diet to shrink your liver. Makes it easier for surgery.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
