I have been on the forums for a while now looking but I figured now is the perfect time to join. I am currently on day 3 of my pre-op liquid diet and I am not going to lie this is a hell of a lot tougher than I thought. I am scheduled to get my sleeve surgery done on May 23 but the surgery still being 12 days away seems like an absolute lifetime. I have not cheated at all yet but I have constantly thought about it. I will not cheat either because this surgery is what I really want I am ready to change my whole life I just needed a place to vent a bit and this is the absolute perfect spot.

Omg I thought I was the only one feeling like that. I'm having surgery on the 25th of May. I feel like I want to chew but I no I'm not hungry. I want to thank you so much for sharing your story because I don't feel alone now. Stay strong ???? I no your pain.

It actually gets "easier" after day 4 or so. By then your body will be in full ketosis and the headaches, lightheadedness, and moodiness should pass. It will likely still really suck, especially your energy levels because of the restricted calories. But at least transition into ketosis will be over. Whatever you do DO NOT eat carbs. If you have to cheat (please don't) make sure you are doing so with Protein only. Carbs will kick you back out of ketosis and you will have to go through the whole process of headaches and misery all over again when you get back on track.

I am now on day 10 of the diet and my goodness it has gotten so much easier. I am basically able to go about my normal life without even having to worry about what I have eaten which is actually kind of awesome. My energy levels surprisingly enough are through the roof. I woke up early before work and ran 45 minutes at the gym, had a full day of work and even played 4 games of pickup basketball after work and besides being a little sore I feel fine. Surgery is only 5 days away and I cannot wait!

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
