My surgery date is December 7, and I live in Marietta, Ga. I am currently grappling with the headaches and diarrhea that the liquid diet is causing, How are you doing with your liquid diet?

Hey hun. So sorry to hear you're struggling a bit. I haven't had any diarrhea yet. But the headaches are the devil..lol. I just keep telling myself it will pass. It's definitely a FIGHT aint it ! Are you getting Protein?

Hey hun @@anndriar15 ! Im doing well thanks for asking. Im a little down because my tastebuds changed soooo drastically and to be honest..All this sh!t Im trying to eat is nasty now. Im not interested in eating at all, so Im struggling to get fluids and Protein in It is quite an adjustment. My plus is Im dropping on the scale (of course).

Congratulations on your approval!!! Do you have a date? Keep in touch.

@@Dee~Dee I'm so elated everything went well with your surgery, I see it was on the 6th of December so you'll be coming up on one month post op, which is great!!! I'm scheduled for Jan 20th which will be approaching faster than I can blink... So I'm a little nervous, but excited at the same time, can you give me any insight? Especially on handling the Pre-Op Diet, Post-Op feelings, etc..

Pre-op diet is challenging but Im convinced its mostly a 'mind' thing. I actually enjoyed the Protein shakes, they helped me feel really full. I kept away from the restaurants and stocked my fridge early. I also practiced on and off for a couple weeks prior to pre-op start. What kind of pre-op diet did your surgeon give you?

Sounds Good!!! What type of Protein shakes did you get? I have Muscle Milk, in which I haven't tried yet, however I did try the Premier Protein brand and I enjoyed those... My pre-op diet consists of High Protein, low carb up until two-three days before surgery then I have to change up and do clear liquid... So my high protein diet should start tomorrow, in knowing that I kinda "BINGE ATE" for the past month or so, honestly I feel kinda sh*tty... I know better, but in my mind I had to get those last of the last meals in!!! So, starting Monday I have to really buckle down and train my mind to get on track because the 20th will be here before the blink of an eye!!! Any suggestions that you found helpful???

I used Premier Protein. To be honest, they were delicious before surgery but after surgery I can barely stand to drink them. As for tips for pre-op I dont have much.... Im a very competitive person, so even though the battle was in my own head, I went into it like a battle. When I was tempted I would ask myself 'who's gonna win this thing... The old you or the happier new you?' Everyday that passed got easier and my confidence got stronger.

      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!!
