I did my PCP clearance last Thursday, went for my final blood work and EKG on Monday. all is good!!!i start my pre op liquid diet on Monday the 10th. am supposed to start the 12th but thought it was weird to start on a Wednesday lol. my surgery is set for July 26. I am super excited and very nervous but I cant wait to lose enough to get off my medicine to feel better. I am looking forward to fit into normal clothes. I wish all success in their upcoming surgeries and strength in the upcoming pre op diets. we can do this!!! we have come this far we will succeed. positive juju sprinkled everywhere lol:D:778_heartbeat::785_cross:

So is mine.

When do you start your pre op diet. I have endoscopy on July 20th.

My Dr has not started me on any pre op diet.🤔 I don't see him until the endoscopy.

Sitting in the surgical suite, surgery in 2 hours. Still unsure if I'm doing the right thing. Is this normal? Too late now I guess....

Have a great surgery and a speedy recovery.:)

With my surgery a little over 3 weeks out I seriously feel for all you guys on liquid diets. I've added Protein Shakes to mine, as well as BCAAs but that was at my discretion and in addition to my normal diet. Stay strong everyone! Remember, vodka has no carbs! [emoji6]

I was sleeved 4 days ago. At the recovery room I was in and out but they let my parents see me and everything I remember saying is that it was hot lol... My incisions barely hurts, I do get chest pain from time to time so I take 20mg of Pepcid complete twice a day and for the gases I take Gas-X which has been very helpful...

This is my second day at home and I am under liquids, I have to make sure I drink 60-80 gram of Protein and take my vitamins... My appetite went away so I can see my family eating and I'm not craving to eat the same...

Congratulations I just got mine too. July 14th... I'm on the pre on diet and trying to fight through the hunger. Why are you on liquid so soon? They have me on 1 high Protein but 400-500 calorie meal and replacing 2 meals with Protein Shake.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
