Recommended Posts

My surgery is December 11 in TJ. Start my preop diet day after Thanksgiving, l am trying to cut back , weening myself off coffee so that it won't be cold turkey. Tried Protein Shake that was recommended and I really like. Premier Protein. Going to SAMs today to get a couple of 12 pks. Heard tastes changes after surgery, so I won't go overboard with buying a lot of stuff. Getting a little obsessive and reading as much as I can. Just can't wait to get it over with , so I can start this journey.

Hello All....I am scheduled for December 5th. I start my 2 week Liquid Protein diet on Nov. 20th so no turkey for me. I am in Louisiana. My process really hasn't taken that long. I started everything the beginning of August. The one thing that held me up was having to lose 15-30 pounds in order for my documents to be submitted to the insurance company. This is when I realized that this is a mental journey. I couldn't get it together at first and then in two weeks I had lost 14 pounds and still losing. Getting nervous but it has to be done. Looking forward to sharing my experience!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
