Recommended Posts

Anyone else?!?

I have been going thru this 2 week pre-op diet with out a hitch cooking meals for my family and it not bothering me in the least I have felt so strong and amazed at my will power and change in mind set.. Until today ... Only Clear Liquids today as I am having surgery tomorrow morning, I just made dinner for the fam and I am starving I want something. I need my Protein Shakes back. Never thought i would say that. I don't know how anyone did clear liquids for any longer than 1 day. Kudos to you. I just can't wait to go to bed for this day to be over...

Same here. My stomach has not felt great all day. The hospital just called with my arrival time. 12:15! Which means by the time I get back there and get all set up, surgery isn't going to be until like 2:30. I am sooooo irritated. liquid diet for a week. Clear liquids today and nothing to eat or drink after midnight! Ugh!!

I was originally scheduled for 2:30 I told the scheduler I am a diabetic was that a good idea for me to wait all day she moved me to the first of the day.. So have to be there at 5:45am.

Hang in there everyone. That is arguably the worst part of the whole process! I was lucky and had a 7:30 a.m. surgery, but you're all right - go to bed as early as possible!! After tomorrow it will be behind you and you can start your new life!! Good luck to all of you!!

@@KarenF1972 Trust me. When you get up tomorrow food will be the LAST thing on your mind. You will not be hungry. Trust me! And you will not be hungry when you wake up from your surgery nap!

yes keep us posted, very excited to hear how you do for surgery, and the other person too having surgery tomorrow please. I am not having mine until nov 24th, feels like a long time. I have anxiety, and bipolar so meds are a must for me. I am nervous about being nervous. Oh Lord help me. I hope they could just do mine early so I won't be having panic attacks. But Im not diabetic and they take people in as medically needed first. I understand that. They said if I am having a panic attack they will give me liquid valium.

I have been on my pre op diet for a week now and all I have been doing is throwing up. Every Protein Shake makes me nauseous, diet ginger ale won't even suffice. I don't really know how I'm going to make it through another week of this.... AND then still not be able to eat anything for several weeks after surgery.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
