I'm 10 days post op and I hated the pre op diet. I cheated a few times and my liver was fine. If u absolutely have to eat, then try a lean piece of chicken.

Try your best to do as ur surgeon instructed...it's worth it

I cheated 3 x but chose a small piece of chicken breast instead of oily greasy stuff. I felt bad about it but I'm resetting myself at this point. My pre op diet was originally for 1 week but my surgery was moved to this week. Thinking positive thoughts

If you *have* to cheat, doing it with high protein/low carb is the way to go. But definitely best to fight through it.

Was it moved because you ate and your liver didn't shrink?

My surgeon doesn't require a post op liquid diet but he does require weight loss prior to surgery... This is a hard journey and long term obesity isn't easy either... Just try to remind yourself why your doing it... Don't beat yourself up.

During the brief conversation I had when I met him at the seminar, he said we will work together to figure that out when we meet. My guess would be it would be like 5- 10 % of current weight... I'm great at loosing weight, it's keeping it off that's my problem.

I wasn't required to lose a specific amount of weight obviously it depends on the doctor and their plans.

I still had to do a pre-op type diet and 24hrs before was Clear liquids until 6pm. The pre-op is NOT easy but it is done for a reason.

IMHO - the doctors have been educated and skilled in their professions. If they tell you something you should do it, for a safe surgery and hopefully an easy recovery.

Get back on track NOW and stay true~

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
