21 DAYS UNTIL SURGERY WOOT WOOT! YAY ME!

So I am starting a few habits early- I already got my Water intake up to 124 ounces- made that a habit and have been at if for weeks already. But today I am starting the 30-30-30 rule- maybe if I spend the next couple of weeks doing it it will be easier after surgery...

What other things did y'all start BEFORE surgery to help get you in the groove of things?

I loved premier before surgery. Now I can't tolerate them, in any flavor

If you don't mind what is the 30-30-30

30-30-30 rule is not drinking 30 minutes BEFORE your meal, not drinking DURING the 30 minutes of your meal, and not drinking 30 minutes AFTER you meal. Hope this helps

I don't have a surgery date, but my insurance requires virtually nothing, so I get a date after my endoscopy on the 20th (pending nothing crazy showing up!) I've upped my h2o, gotten off cokes, gotten off all caffiene (HUGE deal there), started the 30/30/30, cut most of my carbs, started chewing thoroughly, etc. I have been taking my Vitamins religious for a few months, and trying to start a routine with it that for both myself AND my kids. I'm also going to go ahead and get a flu shot on the 6th. I never get them, but my luck I'll have the flu on my surgery date if I don't. Keep in mind, I don't have an actual date yet, and I wouldn't get vaxxed for anything if I wasn't expecting to wait a couple of months. Best of luck! That's so exciting!

I am 17 days from surgery and star my pre op on Monday! I too have started me habits mostly getting off Diet Coke and increasing my Water intake., documenting and monitoring my Protein intake and staying away from bread and Potaotoes. Caffeine will be tough for me but I think I can handle the rest!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
