Recommended Posts

Day 13 of my 14-day pre-op liquid diet. I cannot believe I've made it. I've gotten through 3 take out office lunches and yesterday there was a huge brunch spread.

Today I picked up my post-op liquid tylenol w/codeine and pepcid.

My surgery is Monday and I'm supposed to be at the hospital for 6am.

I'm just....ready.

I'm proud of you, very proud

My date is March 12. Started my two weeks of liquid Protein Shakes on Thursday and am SO HUNGRY! 3 down, 11 to go. I am really struggling. But I haven't cheated yet. Trying to stay strong.

I am scheduled for Vsg on March 5. This is my second time going for the same surgery because 6 months ago I went into surgery to have the vertical sleeve gastrectomy and woke up to be diagnosed with a tumor on my liver. I then had to undergo a surgery by a liver specialist as well as several other complications to follow. So I am a little nervous about the surgery ....more eager than nervous about it finally happening. I believe that this is meant to be for me and I have faith that my God wouldn't have allowed me to be approved and released to have surgery again if it wasn't meant to be.

I am struggling with my preop diet but will have to force myself to be good because I want to decrease any chances that I wake up on March 5 without being sleeved due to something that I could have controlled.

I'm sceduled for March 20th. I start my liquid on the 6th and see the nutritionist on the 5th. I'm afraid they'll be upset because I've gained 6 pounds since I saw her last in early December. Christmas really threw me off and I stopped trying as hard and couldn't get back on track. Now every time I'm hungry I feel guilty. Do you think I'll still get the surgery? I don't know why I'm such a nervous wreck.

I just finished day 6 of my pre op liquid diet and I can't believe I have 8 more days to go. Surprisingly the first few days weren't as hard as I thought they would be...but now I'm craving everything ugh. March 10th here in NYC.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
