Hello wonderful community! Just a few successes from today I wanted to share.

This afternoon I took my daughter and her friends out for pizza. I ordered a plain salad (Ok'd by doc to do veggies only with lemon on such occasions...) and that's all I ate, even with the amazing looking pie right in front of me.

Tonight, after back to school night, I went out for drinks with some friends . They all had 2 beers each and I had 2 unsweetened ice teas.

This is my 6th day on the pre-op diet and I think I can do this! (8 more days to go....)

How are others doing with temptations??

Thanks!

The first three days were really hard - I was a total grump. But after that it gets much easier!! Good luck!

So glad to hear you say it gets better. I am on day 3 1/2 and had one of the worst headaches of my life yesterday. Today is a new day and one day closer to surgery!

Yes- I had a headache and felt light headed when I would stand up. Had another experience this morning - there were Dunkin donuts for a parent coffee this morning and I just sipped my tea.

One thing this pre op diet has showed me is how often I am exposed to high calorie food and drinks!! It's everywhere!!!

Yes that is so true!

The liquid diet headache is officially gone today! I feel like I can see the finish line or would it be the starting line.

I have to ask my nut if the liquid diet the Surgeon requires includes real food I'm 5 months away but I want to be prepared

      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? 🤷‍♀️
