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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
