Try to drink you Protein Shake slowly. That is what has been helping me. I am 4 days into the Pre-op diet.

I'm reading alot about pre-op diets being 2 weeks or a month. Mine is only 5 days for Mexico surgery. Has anyone else had that short of one and the surgery went fine?

Mine is 5 days. It went from 2 weeks to 5 because my BMI isn't high enough according to the doctor (40) to require 2 weeks and the surgeon opened another day. I think 2 weeks is the general requirement that fits most people.

Oh, I don't know the range. I barely qualify for the surgery with my insurance. I just know the Pre-op is to shrink your liver, so he may have also looked at my ultrasound. It could be a lot of variables, but since it was shorten it makes me feel like I really better not mess up. So, just follow your plan to the letter. :-)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
