Starting my pre-op diet on Monday! No foods just liquids but I have Protein Shakes, broth, Protein Water and sugar free Jello on deck.

I'm kind of looking forward to it. I've been feeling so bloated and crappy lately.

Only two weeks to go until surgery!!!

Starting day 5 of my pre-op diet and I've lost 9 lbs! LOL! I'm sure it won't keep up at this speed but I'm a happy camper, the more the liver can shrink the better. haha. I'm doing pretty OK energy level-wise, but I do get a little sleepy at my desk mid afternoon. And at night...I'm going to bed SUPER early (for me). Between 8 and 9pm. The first 2 days were the hardest for me as far as the hunger. Day 3 I seemed to settle in and only get moderately hungry when it was time to "eat" (if you can call it that, lmao). I'm so excited for all of us! This is the month we change our lives forever!

I know what you mean. I’m on day 6 and down 11. It can’t stay at this rate but I am hoping for 265 to 260 by surgery. Im at 267.2 now. It was really hard days 4-5. Today I seem ok. We will see how it goes.

The liquid pre-op diet takes care of that, I think. At least with me it is. 😬

I am on day 5 of the liquid pre-op diet and I've only lost 4 pounds. I am jealous of your 9 and 11 pound weight loss. The liquid diet hasn't done anything for my bowels. I just had to take something for that but I have lots of issues in that department anyway. I am not discouraged. Everyone is different. We will get through this. I am so proud of all of us for making it this far. We can do this!!!

That’s the right attitude! You are doing great!! I’m only down .2 this morning so that 9 might be all my body is going to give me on this. Haha. Yours might respond differently on the tail end, you never know! You’ve got this either way! ❤️

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
