July 8th for me. I don't have to do any diet before, just eat a light meal the night before. I am having a colonoscopy the end of June and I have to be on liquids for the day before that, so I think I will just stick with liquids until the day of surgery. I have already given up carbonated drinks. Now I need to practice not drinking Water 30 mins before and after eating. Good luck to everyone. I am so excited I could bust. :D

Hi all, I just got my date, July 22nd. Cant come soon enough. I have been on the pre-op diet since may the 8th. I have to start drinking 3 shakes instead of 2 and a meal. Liver needs to shrink more. Good luck to us all.

Has anybody started getting prepared for surgery? By that I mean getting the liquids, Proteins etc.,?

I'm at Walt Disney World celebrating our anniversary and as soon as we get home this weekend, I'm hopping on the liquid diet. It's not required yet but makes sense to me. July 1st surgery for me.

July 22nd here. Seems like time has slowed to a standstill ever since I got my surgery date. Practicing sipping Water, trying different Protein shakes, and OD'ing on Bariatric Pal posts and YouTube videos in the meantime.

July 22 for me as well. I am feeling the same way, as if it will never get here. I dont want to keep thinking about the food I wont eat ever again or for a long while. Im down a few pounds ..... gaining and losing the same five or ten over and over. Dont want to keep having " food funerals" lol. I get so excited when I get dressed, because I wonder is this the last time I will wear this before I lose weight? Soo motivating.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
