How about you? Are you getting all your liquids and Protein in?




Yea i haven't had any problems. Honestly my biggest issue has been boredom. I'm in recovery at home and just so bored. I'm a single guy so all I have to do is watch tv and go on the internet. I left today and walked around home depot cause im just finishing up remodeling my house. But it's just so weird to only be able to drink liquids. My surgeon didn't make me do the liquid pre op diet so all liquid is very different/difficult for me.

The gas pains were miserable!! Half in the morning half in the afternoon. They kept telling me walk and it will help. So that's what I did lol



Yes I had mine on the 5th and the gas pains the 1st day were terrible. Even with the Gas-X strips I had. The only other pain I really had was on the right side of my abdomen when I would stand up in place. Not bad while walking but standing in place was no bueno. Today's day 5 and I have literally no pain at all. Haven't weighed myself yet. Gonna wait till the 1 week Mark.

I can't help but weigh myself lol I enjoy seeing the scale go down everyday this past week. Because I know eventually it will slow down. So I'm enjoying it right now

My surgeon said at the final interview (Monday 9th) that he'll be doing my gastric sleeve op "first thing" on Thursday morning. "Expect the hospital to tell to arrive by 6:00 or 6:15am for prepping for a 7:45am/8:00am start in theatre," he told me.

That makes me pleased that I am, proverbially, 'first cab off the rank' in his five or six hour day. I'll be getting him at his freshest ... before he's been on his feet too long.

It's 10:50am Tuesday now in eastern Australia ... so, in all likelihood, I'll be a NEW MAN in about 46 hours.

My surgery is 2 weeks from today (10/23). My dr didn’t put me on any pre-op diet .. just the day before. But I want to do one anyway. I’m trying to do an all liquid day but I can’t. I start off with a Protein drink... then water.. then by lunch I’m starving. How do you all get past the hunger? I can’t imagine the strength you all have to do the all liquids for 1-2 weeks. Can I ask what your trick is? Tomorrow I’m going to try again to do all liquids... Protein Drinks, broth, Water, etc. I have a busy day at work so maybe that’ll help.

I enjoy reading all of your stories.. it’s easing my nervousness. :)

Okay, everyone my day is tomorrow 10/11. I’m having the sleeve and gallbladder removal. Scared and excited at the same time. I been on Clear Liquids for 14 days and feel great. I keep thinking if I can do 14 days of clear liquids, then why couldn’t I be faithful to any other diet plans and not have this surgery...[emoji848][emoji848]smh

      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!!
