I am nervous too. Start the liquid diet on Thursday and my stomach has not been great lately. I have history of reflux and often find it sensitive this time of year after drinking coffee at work for the second semester. Just scared my stomach won't be right when they get in there.

I'm July 25th too! I only have to do 10 pre op diet but I think I'm going to start replacing one of my meals with a Protein Shake just to ease myself into it!

I'm not the admin and I just added someone a couple days ago. I just had her friend me on Facebook and added her. Easy. There were a great deal of people who explicitly stated that they were interested, but didn't want to join unless the page was secret. Not closed, but secret. I know how to turn off visibility, but I think it being a secret group gives people a greater feeling of comfort and freedom to post what they want. candy

The only reason many if us are on the FB page is because it's secret. If it switched to closed we would all freak out!!

Hi, my date is July 16th. Is any one on a liquid diet? I'm on one for 2weeks pre-op

I was on a liquid diet for two weeks. I was sleeved yesterday, July 1st. The first 3 days of pre op was hard. After tHat, I was ok. I had moments I wanted to cheat but I didn't bc I kept thinking that if I cheat, I would be making it hard for myself during surgery.

How are you doing post-op?? Is it hard?

surprisingly I'm doing good. Minimal pain and discomfort. Tomorrow I will really be able to tell you how I'm doing.

Me too! Are you on all liquids? I've been replacing one or two meals a day with a shake but then I come home in the evening and eat the whole house. I'm terrified. Have to get it together.

Hi there! I start the liquids on July 11. I'm not looking forward to it at all. ????

How about you? When do you start?

@@nursecruz73 Christine, I sent you a friend request. :)

I start my liquid diet on July 8th, but I'm considering starting on the 7th just because it's a Monday and it makes it easier for me to keep straight in my mind. Are you on all liquids? What's your pre op diet look like?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
