Thought I'd start a thread for those that are having their surgery July 26th so we can all vent/compare how we are feeling at each stage of the journey. How is everyone feeling at this point? I keep getting this question: Are you stressed or excited? My answer is both!

I start the liquid diet tomorrow. I'm not sure if I'm more stressed for the surgery, or more from trying to lose the pre surgery weight. I dont have the blood sugar issues, but just had my preop physical and my GP said my heart murmer sounded different so now I have to go for an echo and ultrasound. Praying its nothing.

Just so you know, pre op diet blows.. I was stuck with a 3 week liquid diet! Thank God for my uncles restaurant and giving me chicken Soup broth and albondigas broth.. it helped me out for a couple days.. the first 3 days was so horrible.. but I fought it by going out of the house and sleeping. I am so thankful for this post. Protein shakes and Water are life right now. Good luck all on your 7/26 surgery! It is really close now!

Lol yup.. but I'm sipping a Protein drink... chocolate Protein powder with a tablespoon of ovaltine mixed with almond coconut milk.. taste just like a mounds bar. I wish I can have all the horrible food, but all this is prepping me for my healthier life. And I'm super emotional.. I don't know why but hey, it feels nice to cry at stupid things lol

Rocshae, how is your preop diet going?

Sent from my VS990 using the BariatricPal App

Going really well so far, I started the 12th so I have 8 more days to go! I am struggling to get my Water in(any suggestions would be awesome) but I really like my Protein shakes so I really haven't been hungry. I do notice all the food advertisements more which makes me a little emotional but, I know that I'm better off following the path I'm on. Good luck to everyone we are getting really close now.

Mine is the 27th (which is awfully close) and lemme tell you...this liquid diet is TERRIBLE. The first day was hands down the worst. On day 3 now of a two week liquid diet. I was dreading this almost as much as surgery itself. I think the liquids after surgery will be way easier.

I also quit caffeine, which is a huge deal for me. The headaches and exhaustion has really been hard to deal with. Dealing with ending both at once has been very emotionally difficult, but I am ready. Just a little more snappy and emotional. I have to get used to people eating food around me that I can't have (like my friends and boyfriend eating burgers yesterday was brutal :blush: ) but I keep telling myself "this too shall pass". And it will. And in the end, these very MINOR tragedies will be but a distant memory. Although in the meantime, I am allowing myself to pout as much as I need.

      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!!
