How is everyone's pre op diet going? I am starting day 6.

Day 3 for me. Better than I expected, no major headaches, but I have been working long hours at work to get my project off the ground before I take leave for surgery, so no time to really think about it. My stomach is giving me a bit of a fit right now and my head says that I would kill for a hamburger but I am determined to power through this.

I'm still fighting this headache. Starting to wonder if it's a sinus issue. I am also battling stomach issues right now. I've started adding Fiber to my Protein Shakes and hopefully that'll help out. I am down 11 lbs since starting the pre op diet.

So sorry to hear that you are still having headaches but congratulations on the weight loss. I am waiting until it's been a week before I step on my scale. Definitely getting about 1000 calories everyday. Gotta find something to do today to keep my mind and hands busy. I have a feeling that I will be making a lot of paracord bracelets today's report become immersed in a video game.

I thought the weekend would fly by like they normally do. Being home my mind is all about the food in my cabinets and fridge. It was much easier fighting this battle at work! I am only allowed between 500 to 700 calories. It's brutal.

Well my surgery had to be aborted. I have 3 laparoscopic holes in me. They couldn't inflate my abdomen enough to operate safely. I'll see the surgeon in 2 weeks to regroup and decide what's next.

I am so sorry! I've not heard of this before. Did they say why it happened?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
