My preop diet begins Thursday. I'm glad I got to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner with family. I didn't overdue it as much as I thought I would, considering all I have been thinking about is FOOD!! I was craving my favorite food at a restaurant yesterday and just had to have it, but once it was before me I really didn't enjoy it that much. I need to go to the grocery store today, but I feel like I'm going to buy a bunch of junk food when I get there....is this considered the food funeral period??

Yes it is. If you really want to have things, go for quality over quantity, or true favourites only. If you put too much on now, most of your pre-op period will just be getting rid of the crap you eat over the next few days, and that's a waste of time.

My doctor wants the weight loss to start immediately and not have food funerals. This is going to be a lifestyle change. As soon as I made the decision to have WLS, I made most of the changes necessary. This was even before I had my Skype appointment with him. Everyone is different though, and I can certainly understand wanting things one more time. I still have Christmas to get through! :)

I am trying to get an appointment early January. This puts me fasting on Christmas and new years. I see this as a small but hard price to pay for my new life. Not too hard I hope!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
