@@Camacho 933 Are you required to do a certain type of shake? If so - try adding some sugar free flavorings, PB2, cocoa powder, instant coffee, etc. to your shakes to change up the flavors a little. If you can pick your own shake - try some different kinds or some Isopure (like fruit juice). I'm supposed to have 5 Bariatric Fusion shakes a day but have only been doing 3 the last few days (just don't feel like having something sweet that often). I've been making my own broth and thankfully I'm allowed celery (that's been dinner the last 3 days). Can you have sugar free popsicles or sugar free Jello? Hang in there!!! I figure if we can get through this - post-op should be easier.

Day 2 of pre-op liquids almost over - 12 more to go! This is not easy but I'm happy to say I'm sticking with it 100%.

You can do this

They did mine were lemon and discussing. Once I was up I'd rinse my mouth w Water careful to not swallow. Throat was still dry but it helped some

Hi, I'm Shante and my original surgery date was 10/5/16 but it was cancelled the day before and rescheduled for 10/19/16 due to insurance issues.. I was so disappointed and I have to do the pre-op diet all over again!!! Just looking for some additional support.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
