Can someone show me the diet they put you on. I need to loose weight for health reasons ( copd) without exercice. I watch the show Dr. Now 600 lbs. Can't seem to find his before operation diet except for a bit of what BabyFat23 posted. Thank you for your help and best of luck to all.

@downandoutmy diet that I am on is called New Direction. I think you can only get it from your Dr or someone who uses this program you can't get it from the store. Good luck.

Just checking in to see how everyone's pre op diet is going? I'm on day 3 and so far so good. I keep hearing it gets easier as the days go by. I'm allowed hard boiled egg whites and I think that helps a bit. Though my surgeon didn't give me a limit, I allow myself 3 egg whites a day. I haven't worked out while on this diet though :( I feel like it will make me more hungry. Any thoughts? *Nov 9 Surgery Date*

@CamillaCallieso far I have stuck to it. 15pounds down. Don't ask how I am getting through this but I am. I don't see it getting any better but what can I do. I don't workout I walk a lot. If we get pass this test we can pass anything after. Nov 8th can't come quick enough.

15 POUNDS HOLY MOLY! That's amazing!!! It's been less than a week hasn't it? I hope I lose 15. I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow. I know, I feel the same way. We'll feel so much better when the surgery is behind us and we can focus on getting our life back!

Hi Camilla! Doing great so far, it definitely gets easier. I am on day eight and it feels pretty normal now. Going to a party later, that will be hard cuz there's going to be candy and alcohol everywhere. Wish me luck! Oh and I'm down 7 pounds.

      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 had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
