@@Aleathia, well, day 1 liquids in the bank, and man, it works! LOL. -5 lbs! I'm sure it's just Water weight if I were to go back to eating "normally," but who wants to do that!

I kept really busy yesterday and was pretty happily surprised I wasn't *too* hungry/distracted. I hear after day 3 it's much easier.

How are you finding it?

I haven't weighed myself yet, will weigh tonight before work. But being at work all night is a struggle. I use to eat out of boredom. So I did find myself getting a Lil hungry, but I pushed thru. Drinking my vanilla shake with a Lil coffee added so I can go home and clear my closet. I just slept after work yesterday. Congrats on the 5 lbs

Hey Heather, I weighed myself before work and I'm 4lbs down but I was having trouble sleeping. Every time I started to dose off, I had to go to the freaking bathroom. As soon as I fell asleep, my alarm went off to pick my son up from school. Now I'm at work tired Are you having this problem

@@Aleathia, great job on the -4 lbs!!!!!!!

I am taking a Tylenol PM every night to knock me out early -- by 9 p.m., 10 p.m. the latest, so I am not hungry/irritated watching hubby snack watching TV after the kids are in bed. It's not great for our couple-time, but I figure for two weeks it's a small price to pay. It helps keep me under so I can rest. Trying to guzzle a ton of Water in the morning and afternoon so I only have my last 2 shakes from 4 p.m. until bedtime so I don't have to use the bathroom a ton.

I am using my CPAP religiously for optimal sleep and doing good with the diet, but I walked yesterday and was STARVING.

The shakes and Water weren't cutting it, so I ate a HUGE summer squash steamed with salt and pepper -- double the 1 cup serving required, but I figured it's better than anything else I'd shove in my piehole in the past! I only lost .5 today though, so not sure if I knocked myself out of ketosis with too many veggie carbs:-(

September 19th date too! 3 days into the pre op diet. Protein shakes as snack and low carb meal with Protein and veggies. Ironically my food funeral weekend did not go as planned, as I ended up with a gastrointestinal bug, so was on liquids right before starting pre op diet.

Drinking Water and crystal light and Premier Protein. Hospital tour tonight for a pre op tour of what to expect. Have a great day 9/19's

I'm trying to figure out this bathroom thing, lol. But yesterday I lost another 3lbs. I started lifting weights at work (overnight) like a wk before my pre-op, but I stopped the night before last because I was literally falling asleep as soon as I got to work. I think because we're taking in so few calories are bodies can't take as much. I wasn't even doing alot, but I was starving also. Had 3.5 cups of broccoli I ate in throughout the night. I will see if I stalled myself tonight before work. 11 days

@@nevertoolate13, going good!

-7.3 since starting Monday.

No cravings, gets easier, BUT, I'm stressed out right now and HUNGRY.

Guzzling Water like a nut trying to fill the void, kinda annoyed. I had 4 slices of deli meat and cheese (not on plan,) and am mad I cheated with forbidden fat/protein, LOL.

Definitely, for me, keeping busy and going to bed early is a big help. Boredom/stress are my enemy. Not that I didn't know that, but this has definitely been an eye-opener of thinking what is real hunger v. head hunger. I am a little nervous thinking that it's going to be weeks and weeks before I eat really yummy food again. I miss complex flavors. shakes and Crystal Light are okay but blah.

How are all my 9/19 sleevesters doing?

I feel surprisingly wonderful. No pain really, more of a soreness as if I took a 8 hour core training class. The dilaudid is making me itchy so I got Benadryl to help. And I've been walking the corridors!

So happy I'm in the other side and I can't wait to start this new phase.

I wish I could be as organized as you Aleathia. If I manage to take stuff out of the bag and put in pantry it gets stuffed where there is room on any shelf. Then I wonder why I can't find it. Tomorrow I'm going to look at your pic for inspiration. Well maybe not tomorrow but someday soon

That's great. I had complications and the surgery was postponed. Still in the hospital, maybe leaving in the morning

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
