Hello everyone! Well I have to think positive at this point and consider my liquid diet portion a dress rehearsal. My real liquid diet will start again in about 2 weeks. I have an unconfirmed surgical date of 9/16. Which will hopefully be confirmed on Monday. I have learned from experience that I will have to keep on the staff at my surgeons office. They have dropped the ball in the past.

When this is over I am going to have a chat with my surgeon about his office staff and their reflection on him. I have to hope that he is unaware of the way they are doing their jobs. All I can say is as nurse, this is no way to treat your patients.

Sorry for the rant I just had to get that off my chest. I vow to be positive from now on!! :D

Thats awful! Im a nurse also...... we tend to see things that others dont. I hope things turn around for you! You know what we say about the squeaky wheel :)

I have found that after everything I have seen so far, I am a lot calmer about surgery. I will be restarting my liquids on Aug. 30 to get ready for surgery. At least I am now prepared for it. I guess you could call my first run at this a try out! I am more sure of what I should do to meet requirements now!

Thanks SkinnyGalinFatPersonsBody, for noticing. Are you having surgery in Sept. also?

I am scheduled for 9/22. It seems like it took them forever to schedule. Ive been out of visits for 6 weeks now. Havent been doimg too well on my diet. I started partial liquid yest and then full liquid 2 weeks prior.

So why did they postpone your surgery?

My surgery was postponed because I was taking Advil and that's a no no! Due to the fact that it's a blood thinner. I start my liquids again on Aug. 30.

Like lolly I meet my surgeon on the first to get my date. My clinic only has a two day prep diet, so it can go pretty quickly. So excited to stop preparing and start doing. I'm down 34 from my first appointment in March, doing well I think. We'll see as I am spending the first week of September on vacation in Breckinridge with my hubby for our anniversary. Best of luck to you all, can't wait to see where we all are next September!

Oh, I live in a little town just outside Green Bay, wi.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
