@@Adriane5Sims That sounds exactly like my diet..my surgeon requires all patients to do this for the 2 weeks prior to surgery in order to shrink the stomach and the liver to make surgery easier. I would think eating anything at all that close to surgery (Christmas/Eve) would defeat the purpose and undo all the shrinking we've been doing. I seriously considered scheduling mine 2 weeks later for that reason, but I have been waiting so long, I didn't want to wait 2 more weeks LOL!

I asked my sis-in-law to host Christmas dinner so I won't have to smell everything cooking or have a bunch of food in my house. It will be hard but so worth it to have the surgery go as smoothly as possible.

We can do this!!!

That makes sense. Today is day 3 for me and I am starving. I had honestly considered getting one thing off allowable food list and eating it. That list is when people are allowed to have 1 meal a day.

Yeah I was thinking a tiny slice of turkey would be great LOL! I think day 3 was when it got easier for me. I'm still hungry, but the end is in sight! We just have to do this for one week, then it's surgery day!!! YAY!!!

We can totally do this, y'all! I'm on day 7 of the preop diet (lean Protein, no starchy veggies and protein shakes) and it has gotten better. The first 2-3 days were rough, but it's bearable now. Christmas will be the toughest, I think, but honestly now that I've detoxes from carbs, I'm not tempted to cheat because I don't want to have to detox again! Plus, next Christmas the same food will be there in tiny portions. We can all make it through this week, I'm sure of it. Next week we won't even be thinking about this part. ????

I am scheduled for Dec. 30th!!! I don't have a "pre-op" diet for the week before, but I am still replacing at least 1 meal a day with a Protein Shake, and the day before I will have only Clear Liquids starting in the late afternoon, and nothing to eat or drink after midnight. The pre-op diets sure do seem to vary. Getting excited, but nervous too!!! :D + :unsure: Anyone else feeling that way?? I'm looking forward to it, but more to actually having the operation part over with, so I can begin my recovery and life on the other side of the sleeve!!! :)

I am having surgery December 30th as well. I am very excited and a lil nervous. I had my gall bladder taken out last November and I really don't want to go through that pain again. UUGGHHH...I'm just going to stay prayed up..Good Luck Girl!!

Going to a work Christmas party tonight. I actually work at a cooking school so I'm sure the food will be fabulous. I've made an old Armenian family recipe but I've eaten my fair share of these through the years. Surprisingly I'm not worried about indulging. I'm days away from surgery and for today I am strong.

Struggling with nausea on my pre-op liquid Protein diet (have had Protein shakes before without this side effect). Dr. office said it could be too much acid build up (been struggling with GERD this past year) and to try an acid blocker, and it that doesn't work they will prescribe something for the nausea. Just took a prilosec and waiting to see if that helps. The good news is that the nausea is killing my appetite!

Hope everyone has a relaxing and enjoyable Christmas despite the limited diet so many of us are undergoing this last week before 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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
