I am taking Flintstones chewables and B12 that is liquid form. You will lose weight on the pre op diet. It sucks! And is hard. Definitely go to your favorite restaurants if you have any and eat your food too. It sucks not having any real food. We will have it eventually though and the liquids is only temporary. Thank god lol. You will get back on track soon enough and it's gonna be okay. I'm sorry all of that happened to you. It's great that you have a surgery date and something to look forward too! I'm here for support too. I definitely regretted it afterwards just because I wanted something to eat. Not even the pain. The pain wasn't bad for me at least. Food is just the best and it's hard when you get it taken away from you.

Yeah. :-/ I mean it's just food. Why does it have such a hold on us?

Another question. Are any of the appointments prior to surgery family friendly? My husband would like show his support and attend them with me.

I believe he can come to any of them. The nutrition class, a lady was with her mom. The 2nd class with Ivan, he talks to you one on one afterwards. The pre admission is just them taking blood n seeing what medicine your on n how healthy you are.

I'm pretty proud of myself. I got horrific news about 6:30 last night about the loss of a dear, sweet, wonderful person due to heroin. I don't know if you guys know this but I'm a social worker at a drug rehab in butler county. Anyway. I've been an emotional wreck but have not eaten since finding out. Normally I'd eat everything!! I'm still so devastated and a hot mess but at least I did not turn to food. I can't sleep either! But no food.

Sorry to hear about your loss. You still need to hydrate and get some Protein in. It's your job now.

Tssiemer, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. It's no fun losing someone we get close too at work. Drugs are horrible and people don't realize how dangerous they really are. It's taking over the world. It's sad. I hope you will be okay.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
