I start my pre-op diet tomorrow as well. I like your outlook, I hadn't considered it that way. Positive way to look at it!

I started my pre-op last monday mine last for 4 weeks.

In my doc office it is 4x Optifast /day and 1 veggie cup per meal but I haven't been able to take them.

Good luck :780_sparkling_heart:

I'm on day seven of the liquid diet from hell. (surgery December 5th) I'm hungry and grumpy. I would not wish this diet on my worst enemy.

5 premier Proteins, sugar free Jello, sugar free Popsicles, broth...and 100 calories of either cream of wheat or yogurt.

it's ghastly, and I miss food.

On the other hand....i'm waking up almost a pound lighter every day, and it's a good mental prep for the psychological crazy of the post surgical diet.

I do feel prepared for what I'm about to undertake.

I would of loved to be able to have broth... I mean check vanilla, chocolate or strawberry flavor gets old... quickly .

7.5/28 days. I am so envious at people who only have two week's from what I saw normally people have 1-2 week and not 2-4 week like my surgeon office does.... :55_frowning:

      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? 🤷‍♀️
