Pre-op diet over the holidays...



Recommended Posts

We are superheroes!!! My mom said I was the strongest woman she knows lol

I do have classic binge eating disorder and since I am a revision patient, I've decided to see a psychiatrist after my surgery to help work through those issues. Part of realizing surgery will be a tool, not a magical cure all.

I'm still on five shakes a day, but I've been drinking Powerade zero which has no calories or sugar. It's the best thing in my day lol

2 more sleeps till surgery!

Been on my pre op 9 days and lost 9lb so delighted, just 10 more days till my op and every time I see something I wanna eat I just think of how I will look and feel slim and the craving goes. Tough time of year to do a pre op diet but it will be sooo worth it! Hope everyone's surgery goes well x

Day 10 of the pre-op diet and I've lost 11 pounds! I'm now down 27 pounds from my highest weight. The loss is really keeping me going. The diet gets easier every single day and even the cravings have been decreasing.

@@KWeilbrenner09 That's funny, my mom also said the same thing to me! My family couldn't believe how good I was when I went to a Christmas party last night with a ton of food around, and I didn't even bat an eye. It's great realizing just how strong you can be!

I'm starting to get really excited about life after surgery. I know it will be hard, but feeling healthier and lighter will be so amazing.

Good luck everyone!!

Had my surgery (RNY) yesterday afternoon. Just got home a few hours ago. The surgeon was very pleased with my compliance to the pre-surgery diet. It was tough, but I made it through with a good support system. All of my family and friends were so helpful and supportive. Not to mention the feedback on this board. Couldn't have done it otherwise.

I was doing laps around the floor every hour today from the time I woke up. Last evening, immediately after the surgery, was unpleasant. I just couldn't get comfortable.

I was determined to leave the hospital after one night and I succeeded. The Dilauded through the IV really helped. I switched to Norco a few hours before they discharged me. Only issue so far is I waited nearly 5 hours between doses which caused a bit of pain. My goal is to wean off as quickly as possible. How long did anyone stay on it for? I'm expecting three days. By Friday I'll be off it, hopefully.

Now on to the next stage! Hello warm, salty broth!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
