I didn't really do a pre op diet since I was low BMI but after surgery I had terrible headaches for 9 days in a row ! It was the worst thing about surgery for me! I'm guessing a combination of detoxing from the junk I was eating, plus stress and anesthesia and a little dehydrated too.

I'm just trying to make for an easy breezy surgery. I started the pre op high protein- low carb diet 14 days prior to my surgery date. My nurse said it would help for recovery as well...

I think the pre op is a good thing ! Especially Protein loading for surgery. I did cut back some and lost 4 lbs in 4 days. For headaches I took mostly the pain meds they gave me for surgery, not sure what they were, they melt under your tongue and when it got really bad I took tramadol. You should be good for tylenol until you get closer to date.

I'm sorry, the 10th... Surgery on the 11th. Maybe we can keep in touch? I met another lady named Debra that will be there with us as well. She's from Maryland.

How are you today? I decided to resleeve. My daughter is going with me to have a sleeve. Unfortunately Dr Rod is not doing the surgery. He offered a ring around the sleeve or a bypass which I don't want

Yes, I know that is his preference. He actually does a mini bypass so it's not the same as RNY. That's what I had him do. I wanted more of a guarantee not to gain it back this time and no more surgeries. I'm doing okay, better in some areas than others. Who are you going with ?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
