ONE MORE SLEEP!! Surgery is tomorrow. I'm waiting on the call to tell me what time to arrive at the hospital. I haven't had to do any sort of pre op diet but I'm on Clear Liquids only, today. I will be drinking the awful magnesium citrate starting at 3 pm. At 5 pm I put on my Nausea parch. I'm excited but extremely nervous. I have a blood clotting issue so if there are any prayer warriors out there, I could use some prayers! Good luck everyone!!

How are you doing?

Surgery went well. I stayed an extra day in the hospital so my dr could keep an eye on my blood clots. I am home now and then quite a bit of pain but it is becoming more manageable by the hour. Cravings and hunger are still hanging around. I'm trying to focus on sipping my Water and walking.

I actually chose the date. My son graduates from college on December 18 in Nashville. Was not taking any chances! It's worth it:-)

Day 8 of my 2 week liquid diet. Didn't have any requirements for losing weight before surgery but I self-imposed a diet (ok.. Making better choices when I eat). Have lost close to 50 lbs.

That's awesome! I have lost almost 40. My doctor doesn't require liquid diet I have been told. I will know more Monday. I havent heard of any other Doctor not requiring that so I am starting it on my own just to be extra cautious.

You all are awesome!!

I gained 15 lbs in 5 mos(quit smoking) plus LOTS of food funerals, & a pregnant daughter!! Every excuse to continue to eat more!! I Lost 8 in 3 weeks( my surgeon demanded in order to move forward) And only lost 4 so far during this pre-op!

I commend you on your loss so far.. That's amazing!

My doctor doesn't require liquids prior to surgery either. He says it's because all the liquid after surgery is plenty of torture all on its own ;) I can appreciate that!

      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.
