I am 11 days into the liquid diet & 4 days out from surgery at 9:30 on the 4th. I am very excited and pretty hungry, I feel weak & lighted headed too. Stickly clear liguids and Protein drinks with skim milk. I did read that for the liver has to shrink it has to be deprieved of carbs & fats. So Protein should not hurt, but I have stucked to the rules except for about an 1 oz of chicken breast the last night. Just to get a little protein.

I found consume' are much better than broth, french onion and beef mushroom Soup are very good, just don't eat the onions or mushrooms. Also we go to the Mexican Restaurant & order chicken Soup with nothing in it, put the pico(tomatoes, onions, jalanpenos & cilintra chopped in it for a 1/2 hour, drain it all off & the broth is very good. So everyone be thinking & praying for me on the 4th. I will come & let you know how I feel. Stick to the liquid diet you don't want your liver to mess with, shrink it. Oh and I have lost 14 pounds on the diet too.:ranger:

I had my preop and I gained 6.5 from when they saw me in oct. i actually gained 10lbs but since the preop diet i have lost 4 lbs. he did not freak out. he seemed like he had a whatever attititude, maybe its because my bmi is a 38-39. and i only have sleep apnea. so no more diet logs, i have my new menu for the 2 weeks after surjery and i go back. i get an "adjustment" in 4 weeks. every dr is sooo different. i'm really trying to sip liquids and not drink while i eat. they still want me to work out right up until feb 5th. i did not today, I cleaned all day. i'm in a calm right now, I just cant believe, well it has not sunk in yet that i'm gettiing a second chance at my life. 19 years of struggling. soooo happy right now.

      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.
