I just got the call today that my insurance approved my sleeve surgery, and squeaking in down to the wire for surgery scheduled December 31st! I see my surgeon on December 20th when I start the pre-op diet. Not looking forward to liquids through the Christmas holidays, but its all for the greater good and a healthier me!

Well woo hoo for getting it through insurance. Pre-op is going to probably tough but think of all of those that are going to gain through the holidays while you are losing! I start my pre-op diet tomorrow for Dec. 20th surgery.

I am scheduled to start pre op diet tomorrow since surgery is 12/20. I have many friends who have done the surgery and their doctor did not require this 2 week liquids since they said it doesn’t really matter and was torture . I plan to do at least a week but 2 weeks is really disruptive .. any thoughts on this ?

Just found out today that my surgery is scheduled for December 27th. I start the pre-op high Protein diet on the 13th. Exciting and a bit scary all at once. Exciting for all the possibilities and scary because I want to succeed and not become a negative statistic. I know two people who were not successful and want to learn from their mistakes. Cognitively I know I have the capability to rock this however emotionally I am a bit shakier.

I’m self paid and they are requiring that I do a two week liquid diet. Im three days in and it’s not great. Day two was the hardest so far. We will see how the rest goes, surgery on the 17. I will say having an app like my fitness pal, or something like that is helpful. Not only is it liquids only, but there are Protein and carb requirements as well. Getting what you need protein wise without going over on my carbs was a bit tricky. I feel like I have it figured out now, but I wish I would have spent more time planning a head of time.

Eggbeaters with herbs and veggies have been a saving grace in the evenings to keep me feeling satiated. You can do it! Good Luck to you! 👍

      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? 🤷‍♀️
