Got my date. September 24th. Nervous and excited, scared and in disbelief. I have my prep on the 18th. Haven't been told to start a liquid diet yet......do most? Why weren't you? Should I call and ask about it? I suspect that they would have told me already, but it don't know.

IDP2014, my date is the same. I began pre op diet today. I hunkered down and had a low key Friday night. Followed it well though. I have a box of no sugar added carnation Breakfast vanilla and added to a Decaf coffee I purchased on this cold wet day. That was good. Tomorrow is watching soccer in the cold. I may repeat the coffee trick but have to figure out a plan to avoid team bonding meal. I will likely bring three books on WLS, and a small cooler.

My doc gave me my pre op and post op instructions months before- when I first started my 3 month preop certification process for insurance.

Everyone has a different experience n different pre op preparations , I would call your doctor and check. Post op diet recommendations all seems to be more similar for everyone, Congrats and Good Luck!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
