I'm getting sleeved on June 15th and I was just wondering if any one else is as well? Or around June 15th?

I started my preop diet today, I'm doing well with it so far... I think because I'm SO excited that this is actually happening! We will see how I feel next week haha.

Does everyone have a similar preop diet or is it different with each surgeon?

:)

My surgery is on June 17th. I started the pre-op diet on Wednesday and had my pre-op appointment with the hospital yesterday. I had two options for my pre-op diet: five Proteins shakes a day or three shakes a day and sensible dinner. No butter, oils. I can eat raw vegetables. I trying to do the five shakes a day but its hard. Best of luck

I'm getting sleeved on June 15th, too. I'm on Day 600 6 of the pre-op diet. 3-5 Protein shakes per day, plus Clear liquids (broth, sugar-free Jello, sugar-free popsicles, etc.) and non-starchy veggies. And because the universe is cruel and unfeeling, I'm on my period this week as well.

My surgery is June 18th. I'm not on any pre op diet. Just clear liquids the day before.

This is what I'm hoping for.

I was honestly worried at 1st. Like why is everybody on this liquid diet but I'm not. I had to call my nut and make sure I wasn't missing anything

I am scheduled for June 16th. I began my pre-op diet Monday. I can have 3 Protein Shakes and 2 lite meals (lc, healthy choice, etc) and 1 cup of non starchy veggies. Must drink 64 ounces of Water, too. So far, it's not terrible. I have to turn in a tracker food diary for the diet when I go in for surgery.

      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 had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
