Anyone scheduled for December yet?



Recommended Posts

Hi All, just joined this forum and I am excited to connect with you all. I believe that these groups are necessary to keep morale up and help during the rough times. My VSG surgery is December 20th. It has all gone so fast since I made the decision and I can't believe I'll be starting my pre-op diet on December 6th. Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Dec 20th here. I will start my liquid diet on Dec 6th. It will be rough considering I work in a restaurant. I’m surrounded by food all day.

Dec. 11th here! Getting anxious! I Know what you mean about being around food at work, my job has a catered lunch every day! :0

For those of us scheduled in December, are you eating like there is no tomorrow or are you trying to be good before you start your pre-op diet. I go day by day, sometimes binge eating and sometimes fasting.

I don’t understand why some doctors require it and others don’t . I was going to do surgery through insurance in nj but there was an exclusion , so now doing it self pay In Florida . No doctor didn’t require 2 weeks of liquids before but Florida doctor does

I haven’t been binging, but we do visit favorite restaurants on date nights and I’m making a lot of my favorites for thanksgiving. I’ve tried to be conscious of when I feel full and am trying to stop then rather than “cleaning my plate”. My surgery is the 14th, so December 1st is the day I start my Pre-Op diet. I’m blessed that I do not have to do a liquid diet like most, but rather a low carb, low fat diet.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
