Can I join all this December fun? I just found out a little earlier today that my surgery will be on the 10th! By the time I found out, I had eaten Breakfast and lunch and today is day one of pre-op dieting. I guess I got bonus meals! now it's all about Protein Shakes and non starchy veggies!

Same thing happened yesterday to me. I got a call after breakfast and the bariatric clinic called and said they were moving my surgery up to Dec 4 from January 14. Day 1.5 of liquid diet. Thanksgiving will be tough but next Thanksgiving will be much better!!! Good luck everyone on your surgery.

I got the call my insurance was approved and my surgery is set for Dec 8th. I had a tentative date of 12/17 but it's now booked so it was going to be either the 8th or 22nd. I chose the 8th. The sooner the better! Starting my liquid diet Friday. I have a pre-op appointment with the surgeon on 2nd which I was told would last about 4 hours then the hospital pre-op on the 3rd. Will find out then what time the surgery will be. I am super excited!!

December 11th surgery date here. As for drinks, I've started using the Ultramet shake packets from Champion Nutrition. They pack 42g Protein into one drink, and you can find a box of 60 for about $100 on Google Shopping.

My surgery date is 12/16. I started the 6mo process back in April and received my approval from Aetna on 11/14. No pre-op diet. I'm very excited, but get more and more nervous as it gets closer!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
