Anyone booked for 10th June?



Recommended Posts

The first three days were hell, but now on day 4 I am doing better. My emotions were all over. Fat stores hormones and losing weight has released them. God help my family & friends through this. Spreading out my Protein has helped, but I really struggle at night.

I have two to three Protein shakes an 4-6 oz of meat with some leafy greens each day. Its hard to stick to but im doing my best.

I am only able to drink 3-5 Protein Shakes per day and I can drink one cup of broth in place of a Protein shake if I want to.

I am really feeling starving today, and when I tried to do some yard work I got very light headed. I keep telling myself--6 more days--I can do anything for one week right??

Anyone else having to do this strict of a pre op diet? Any suggestions to make it easier??

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. I actually had surgery this past Tuesday on the 3rd. Even though I cheated Saturday and Sunday, my doc said the surgery went great. I'm not saying that would be the case for everyone. My I did make sure to only have Water Sunday through Monday night, then completely fasted until surgery at 2 on Tuesday. Without you guys guilting me into sticking to the diet I may not have been as good as I was. Lol. Anyway, I'm feeling great and headed back to work today! It's mostly a desk job and I can leave if I get tired. Good luck to all of you on the 10th!!

Only a few more days. Preop is going ok. I have the occasional oops, but for the most part am keeping to two shakes and a greek yogurt a day. I found when I ate things I had to chew I was more likely to try and cheat. I am now 1lb from my personal preop weight of 298. HW 334.

I am scheduled for June 11th. I've been struggling with the liquids also. The first week was horrible I gave up cigs and food. My family didn't want to be around me not even my dog lol. It's a lot better now I just think about food. I have a baby shower today that I'm hosting, got to stay away from the cake.

Last night I had dreams of food.............today is day 12 of the liquid diet! Only two more days til surgery, I can do this!!!

I hope all the rest of you are doing well on the liquid diet. It is very hard but if it was easy to lose weight we would have done it before now, Right??

Me too! Last night I had a dream I ate a whole bucket of fried chicken with a friend from work. I woke up feeling guilty, then remembered it was only a dream. Today is day 6 of my liquid diet and I am unbearable to be around. (just ask my partner) I've found crunching on frozen suga free popsicles really helps and Jello is my new favorite food.< /p>

Hi all, I'm booked for June 27th and could not be more excited. I'm just finishing day 4 of my Optifast and feeling good. I feel so mentally ready that I believe everything will be good. I can't wait to ride the rides at the fair with my daughter!! It was a long process getting here but feel confident that the hospital takes that time to make sure you're ready for it. Yippy yay, 18 more days!!

Day 5 of the liquid diet now and the only time I find it tough is when I'm making my daughter her supper. I think I'm lucky as I don't have to cook for the whole family. Hubby works evenings and our 17 year old is always out so I'm not as tempted but I tell ya, I heated up some Zoodles for my daughter and just by habit, I wanted to lick the spoon. I'm sure that wouldn't have done any harm but I'm set in my mind, 100% all the way. Then, of course, hubby comes home and starts eating chips in bed, ahhaha. He is great and supportive because if that did bother me, those chips would have been thrown out the window!! hahah.

Anyways, I was down 11.1 pounds this morning, Day 5. Doing good. I even had my husband do my "before" pictures last night. Scary I tell you, from all angles. Can't wait for the "after" and "progress" pictures to come.

All the best everyone :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
