Hay PCOSSUCKS, I'm sure a little popcorn as a one-off will not affect your surgery - the thing is I guess to make sure that is all it is and that there's no more slip-ups!

I find it really motivating to watch Youtubers who have lost all the weight they wanted to and how amazing they lok and feel. I also have a list of things to do instead of eating as my go-to when the cravings strike. My house has never been cleaner! ;)

HOpe you are able to take some 'me time' today. Be kind to yourself - this ain't easy!

Hi guys, i have surgery on May 29, so im in single digits...yay this is day 7 of a 14 day liquid diet im allowed 3 Protein Shakes, 1 sugar free Jello or sugar free popsicle a day. Lots of Water. I am allowed Decaf coffee but not a coffee drinker. So far lost 9 lbs, and I'm surprised at how good i feel. Really no hunger pains at all. The smell drives me crazy, but that passes quickly. I used my jello as my treat most days, and savor every spoonful. Good luck to us all, we are on the final lap to be on the losers bench.

Thank you...I do watch YouTube for inspiration. I’m sure I’m being too dramatic [emoji23][emoji23]

So Better Every Day where are you located and where are you having your surgery? I first guessed UK because I've heard of others on milk pre surgery diets, then I thought Australia, New Zealand or Canada, at least a Commonwealth country. Now I'm not sure, I'm 🌝baffled, which is a new location. Shoot, you might even be in South Africa. So confess, where in this lovely🌏 world are you?

Hey Frustr8, I am in the UK! Having my surgery in Cornwall.

My family are having pizza for tea - I have withdrawn to the bedroom to escape the delicious smell!

BUT - I have survived the weekend with no slip-ups - Yay! Another week at work and then it is operation time.

WHen's your surgery?

Yes the 2 week liquid diet isnt easy, but it will be worth it. I started journaling on day 1 just to pre occupy my time, and im taking it 1 day at a time so each day i act like its day one, here we are half way thru ....yayayay

THe coffee sounds yummmmmmmy! I'm only allowed 3-4 pints of semi-skimmed milk, one cup of clear broth, and a sugar free jelly (which I don't like!). Looking forward to making my coffee with a vanilla Protein Shake after the surgery though. I've found a really yummy sugar free Syrup that I put a tiny bit into my milk and coffee and it really is delicious.

Hard again today, but I am only 9 days away from my surgery now. I'm drinking my stock, then off out to mow the lawn for some exercise.

Hope you've all had a good day!

I'm May 30th!!!! 10 days till the op for me! I'm on day 6 of liquid diet, and surprised at how much easier it gets. I usually go out to the bars on Friday and Saturday nights and this is the first time in a LONG TIME I have stayed in on the weekends, and to be honest the first time I have not drank on a weekend in who the hell knows how long. I went out for happy hour with coworkers after work briefly and it was STRANGE being in a bar and not drinking! I do not think that is the scene I want to be in post-op.

Also, i went out to eat with friends and I had black coffee+protein shake, and unsweetened iced tea while they were eating fried chicken with fries, fried mac and cheese bites, and all this delicious looking food. I know I am doing this for a reason, but I sure as hell hope it gets easier. I had the sleeve before and 6 months post op if a slipped up it wouldn't be so bad, now that i'm getting the bypass I have the chance of dumping syndrome so i am even more scared of something going wrong.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
