I'm on day 11 of pre op and I have slipped twice. Once I had 3 chicken strips. And today with my husbands influence I caved and had some Mexican food. I am not blaming him but he is an obstacle for me. I still take responsibility. I just need to learn to handle the obstacles in my life (without getting rid of them altogether)

I am down 15lbs so that's great!

Right there with you. Been doing really well this week, but today has been rough. Not feeling so hot and headaches off and on. Ready to be done now. Wednesday needs to get here soon.

If your having headaches, could be the lack of sugar. My physician and the dieticians suggest when feeling low on sugar, drink 4 to 8 ounces of clear fruit (apple, cranberry or grape) juices to 4 to 8 ounces of

Water. Once or twice a day if needed,,believe me it's worked.

Ok. Since I'm a traveling nurse and a cash pay patient, everything is going by quickly. I decided to have the surgery about 3 weeks ago, had consultation, paid money and am scheduled for next Wednesday. I'm feeling a certain way, because I'm not being told anything. I've heard about the preop diet but haven't been told to start one. Should I be concerned? What is the preop diet all about?

Our paths seem very similar! I am a dental hygienist, self-pay patient who had my first consultation on 1/2/17 and scheduled for the surgery on the 27th. Just curious where you are and how much you will be paying for your procedure. I am having mine at a surgical center and my total cost will be $12k in Utah.

I'm in New Orleans, it's about the same. I'm having it at a surgery center and the cost was about the same 11.9K. Maybe we can be sleeve buddies

On day 4 of shakes, have no energy at all. Is that normal?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What kind of shake are you having? Remember that you're able to have 1-2 cups of low sodium chicken/beef broth, sugar free jell-o, pop-cicles, low calorie drinks like Vitamin Water, Gatorade, etc. My surgeon told me to mix two scoops of Protein powder with 8 oz of almond/coconut/skim milk/ ice. (250 calorie make sure milk us unsweetened) hope this helps.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
