I'm January 7. I have to start my liquid diet on 12/24/14. That really sucks. But I am willing to do it to get my life back on track! Good luck to all those having surgery in the future as well!

I noticed some of you have been prescribed a liquid diet prior to surgery. I've only been told the day before. What does your diet consist of and what's the rationale?

I have one week of greatly reduced calories and 2weeks of liquid diet. (So three weeks total.)

Aids in losing the MINIMUM 5% body fat and shrinks the liver so they can get to your stomach easier during surgery. It also helps kickstarts weightloss. I'm in day three and doing well! It's good to gear up and get myself into a new mindset! Every surgeon is very different for pre op requirements.

I'm like you, just liquids the day before! But I've started the diet anyway, just to get ready mentally.

I'm January 6 too!! Have my preop appt with surgeon on Monday the 29th and "Diet class" on the 31st to hear all about the preop diet which I will only have to do for a week.

This will be almost exactly 5 years to the day from when I got my lapband....which I had removed this June after many complications. Surgeon wouldn't do lapband to sleeve in one surgery due to the complications and needing my stomach to "rest." Since June I have gained 80 pounds...out of control I know. Insane!

I can not wait to start this new journey. I'm making a shopping list now and feel somewhat overwhelmed and a little underprepared.

I think I have the tendency to forget this is a pretty major surgery. That I will have pain, discomfort, be in the hospital for a couple of nights, and question why in the world did I do this to myself?!? I live in a bubble of thinking I'm just going to take a nap and wake up skinny. HA!

      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.

      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!!
