My surgery is march 3!! I'm meeting with the surgeon to sign final consents tmw. And he will probably tell me to start the liquid diet. I'm scared of that too! But it's gonna be worth it :)

I hope everyone's surgery is successful and that we all come out okay.

Cause I am legit terrified lol

Congratulations to my fellow March surgery pals! My date is Mar. 3. I started the pre-op diet yesterday. So far I am doing well. I had pre-op testing with nothing to eat or drink until a little past noon yesterday. The upper GI was last, so maybe the barium drink had me feeling full, but I wasn't really hungry last night. So far today I am doing fine. I can have 4 Meal Replacement drinks, or three drinks and 1 high Protein Protein Bar each day. I can have sugar free Jello and popsicles, but not red ones. I can have broth, and the flavored non calorie Water. So far I had one Popsicle. They say the first 4-5 days are the hardest. i had my mind set on the pre-op diet before I started it, and started replacing a meal or two each day with the Protein Drinks so it wouldn't be so hard.

Best wishes for success to you all!

Hello fellow March peeps! I'm scheduled for March 11th. I'm seeing the Dr today for my pre op instructions. I'm so excited to get started on this journey! I'm 5'9" and 297 lbs. The before and after pics and stories keep me excited! What is helping you all get passed the nerves?

Just dropping in to say hi and wish you all the best. I was my surgeons last Feburary surgery on the 27 th. It's actually going easier than I thought. I had a cough and cold so that made things interesting.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
