Really spend time researching and reading about the surgery, how you need to care for yourself afterwards, what each food stage is and how to make this a long term sucess story. Prepare for coming home by having things in so you don't have to go shopping. Have support arranged for when you get home. Keep busy, the pre op diet isn't easy to do, so keep your mind and body busy.

Not too long now!! Exciting times :)

I am also new to this. Surgery 12 jan 2017. Starting on normal foods, but everything comes out very quickly no vomitting just a lot of toilet running. Does this happen to others? Will it stop?

Be excited! Read and try many options. Information! As for the bathroom - I urinated more but limited dairy to reduce the other - no easy task but their are enough soy Protein sources available. Also I kept my medical team at the top of my text list !

Congrats on ur surgery, natasha82. Always remember that everyone has a different experience post surgery and unless you feel really sick or lots of pain (thats when u talk to ur doctor).. u need not worry.

Me too. Only one more day.
Drink lots of no calorie, no carbonation and no caffeine drinks. I drink right around 100oz a day. You will spend lots of time in the bathroom.
This really helped me with hunger issues. Protien, protien and eat more protien. Before pre-op diet I had premier Protein shake for Breakfast. Protien lunch and Protein and veggies dinner. Eat Breakfast. This was a biggie for me. When I discovered shakes I was so happy. I use a small amount of a protien shake for Creamer in my coffee. Pratice eating small bites and chewing lots. No Fluid drinking with food. Wait 30 minutes to drink after eating This one was a little tough for me.
I wasn't perfect but I did make a concious effort to Pratice for post-op.
I hope it pays off.

Hello everyone! I am scheduled for the sleeve on Feb 21st. I'm also in my pre-op diet right now. It's not easy but I know I have to do it. I'll be 60 in May and am so ready to have a great birthday with less of me[emoji5] I weighed 284 last week at my doctors pre-op appt but I have been as high as 292. and I'm 5'5". I'm very excited, nervous, hopeful, anxious and scared[emoji51]. I'm so tired of losing the same 45ish lbs over and over with every known diet to only gain it back and then some. It seems like I'd lose that 45 and start back to old habits so I've never lost more than that on any diet
I wish & pray for everyone the best on their journey. [emoji1317] I look forward to reading everyone's experiences.

I was sleeved Dec. 19th and have lost 45 lbs so far. My best advice is, beware of the 3 week stall! Right at 3 weeks I stalled for 3 weeks!! After doing some research, I found that it is a very common occurrence. I wish I would have know ahead of time. Good luck!!

      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!!
