Trial run on pre-op diet



Recommended Posts

I am doing a trial run on the pre-op diet that my doctor gave me and I know that sounds wired , but I just wanted to see how strong and committed I could be.. it will probably be close to the end of the year before I have it done.. u have to submit labs and clearance from my primary physician. . I also have to pay my part I owe the doctor before he preforms the surgery.. so that means I will have to either use some sort of credit or save up and pay it with cash..

I just started my pre op diet 2 weeks ago. I have lost most Water weight and have had no cravings until today. I have been feeling a bit ill though today so I am not on my regular routine. The diet is not as hard as I thought it would be. I think the hardest thing is making sure you get your Protein in and coming up with a wide variety of recipes to keep your diet exciting. Best of luck to you!

You can do it! It helps to have a social atmosphere like this. You get tons of support from people who are going through or have already gone through the same thing. Good Luck and remember, you can do this!!

Thank you all for the encouraging words and I am so glad that we have a place we can share with others that understand what we are going thru.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
