@@mlmanney congratulations on the date!! :) My preop diet is technically only 3 days but I have tge last 10lbs or so that my surgeon has asked me to lose before surgery that no matter what I do, won't go away (I have lost 30 so far). I talked with my primary Dr about it yesterday at my appointment for surgery clearance and she told me that I am at the point with fast weightloss that my body is trying to play catch up and I will likely struggle to lose the last bit of weight. She recommended that I start my preop diet now in an effort to lose that last bit of weight... Soooo I figured I would start it on Sunday, no part in starting it today because we have a day trip planned to Boston on Saturday.. Would be kind of difficult to do just liquids when traveling... So it looks like we can be preop diet pals.. lol :)

Hi guys! Pre-op here too. I'm 20 years old, so I'm so happy to get this tool while I'm young so I can prevent comorbitities. I live in Maine, and I have my consultation appt in 6 days, so I am very excited to get the ball rolling. My BMI is over 50 at this point, and I have tried so many different weight loss options that (obviously) haven't worked for me. Im so nervous after reading everyones insurance horror stories that i will have the same experience. If anyone is from the New England area and has Community Health Options for insurance, please let me know your experience thusfar and I will do the same once I go through it!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
