I had my surgery yesterday morning and I'm getting ready to go home. The pain isn't to bad, and I really don't have an appetite, but I'm making my self eat some of the broth and Jello.

My surgery was postponed until tomorrow. First there were 2 accidents and a train so I was late to the hospital by 30 minutes but the doc was running so behind, so they offered to let me be first tomorrow.

Sending up prayers for a successful surgery and speedy recovery TexasCurves! Mine went great, the pain is manageable, and I'm on broth and Jello till Thursday. Then I'm on the full liquid diet of cream Soups, crystal light, ect. Please keep us updated! Brokenangel84, I'm sorry you're having a ruff time, I'm also praying for your speedy recovery.

Hi there. After a six month journey to prepare, I'm scheduled for surgery on December 29th. I'll begin a 1200 calorie diet on 12/15 and a two day liquid diet on 12/27 (two days prior to surgery). How many years did weight loss top my resolution list? But this time will be different...my body will cooperate and I'll learn a new way of feeding and caring for it. I can't say I'm nervous, but I'm definitely excited. A new, healthy me in 2015. Sounds pretty wonderful.

My surgery is also December 29!!!!

My surgery is also December 29!!!!

I'm glad I have company. It looks like there are three of us for the 29th. I am so filled with emotions. It's like a roller coaster from one day to the next.

Well time is here!! I survived the two week liquid diet it wasn't as bad as I thought. Pretty scary as at times I was not that hungry. I think it's because my doctor allowed me to have vegetables and fruits. tomorrow is my surgery I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. I have to pack and have things ready. I asked for many positive thoughts and prayers sent my way as I go into surgery tomorrow December 18th. Thank you so much for all your support hope to see you in the post op forum.

RYNDAR do you have a pre-op diet? I'm starting to get really excited. I can't believe it's in less than 2 weeks.

Mommy- yes, i've been on the preop diet since December 1. My surgeon will only allow me to have Protein Shakes four times a day. From what I gather, he's pretty strict with the rules. So far it hasn't been too bad. 12 days to go. Crazy fast!

      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.
