Heh. The pre-op diet is tough! It's hard to eat so little when you still have 100% of your stomach!

I'm on day nine hang in there, I'm not going to say the pre op gets better but your body does get used to it. Just keep your mind busy and focus on the big picture.

I still eat using appetizer flatware and use appetizer plates and bowls. It really does make me feel like I'm eating more than I am...that and my itty bitty stomach helps too!

I start Wednesday! I am a little worried! I have written down tons of projects that I need to get done to keep me busy so hopefully I won't think about food as much as usual! Good Luck with it!

Starting mine tomorrow. My PA tells me I can have salad and non starchy vegetables. Guess I'll make a trip to the grocery store. The Protein Shakes don;t fill me up at all

You get to eat that? I thought the preop died was a liquid diet.

Every doctor has their own preference. Mine included 2 Protein Shakes and one "lean & green" meal. I could also include a salad with fat free dressing. Lost 13 lbs in 2 weeks ????

Yeah, every surgeon has their own requirements. Some just require high protein/low carb, some require Protein Shakes only, some allow for some vegetables, some allow sugar-free Jello and popsicles. Some surgeons don't require a pre-op diet at all!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
