Bobbieswife and tagyourit - Hope both of you had good days today. Day 8 for me. I was thinking today about what will I be feeling like on the 4th of July. Hopefully less hungry!

@@j16 Me too!!!!! I told my husband yesterday that this would be much easier if my stomach wasn't always growling. I feel like I am over the mental hunger and am not having issues with choosing what to eat it is just that my stomach is always growling. Post Op at least that should be helped a bit. A little TMI but my liquid diet is making a lot of bathroom issues. Guess it is a sneak peak into the future "don't trust a fart" phase!

I started mine on 6/1. Surgery 6/15. Today is day 7 and it is hard!! I want to chew something so bad and I'm tired of Protein shakes.

I started the pre-op diet on 5/23 for four weeks. Five shakes a day and 3 servings total of sugar free Jello, Popsicles or Water ice;64oz a day of Water which includes crystal light, Decaf coffee tea soda. I find it easy to stick with it because I don't have the guilt of worrying that I ate the wrong thing or had too much. I also keep telling myself that cheating on diets is what got me to this point! Hang in there it will be over before you know it. Good Luck.

How are my fellow Pre opers? I am still doing well with the plan but I have not lost any weight after the 5lbs mark. I don't know if it is just a stall (after a week?) or my body freaking out over the sudden decrease in carbs, cals and all that jazz. I am averaging 700-1000 cals a day and doing the shakes and full liquids (yogurt, SF pudding and Jellos, and soups) I am getting excited to be less than a week out though!!!!

Hi everyone, I'm scheduled for sleeve surgery on June 22nd. Today is day two of the liquid diet. So far not bad. My sugar dropped already so I have stopped taking some of my meds already. I have had a mild headache which they said was normal. I'm nervous and excited for this lifestyle change but I know its for the best.

Hey I hope it's getting better for you. I have energy but it is difficult. What kind of diet are you on? I weighed in this morning I was 13.5 lbs down in 5 days.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
