Upcoming surgery



Recommended Posts

Do you have a pre-op diet?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes....Drink AT LEAST 64 ounces of Fluid a day (sugar free, calorie free, non carbonated beverage), Replace 2 meals a day with a Meal Replacement shake, and a sensible meal for 3rd meal. 1/2 cup=3 to 4 ounces of lean meat and vegetable (fresh, frozen or canned). You can add flavor with only herbs and spices, salt/peooer, lemon /lime juice, or vinegar. *Snack in between Meal Replacements can be fat free yogurt, light Greek yogurt, fat free/low fat cottage cheese, or 1 small piece fresh of fruit. Hope this helps

I work with two ladies that had vsg surgery this year and they have been successful. They really didn't go into detail and I didn't ask alot of questions because I am keeping mine a secret lol. I'm just thinking positive and trusting that I will come out with flying colors! I want it sooo bad. I have been struggling all of my life with my weight problem. We will be fine! !!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
