Sept surgery people



Recommended Posts

Surgery is 9/17. Pre-op started this past monday 9/2. 2-3 Protein supplements, regular Snacks (pickles, deli meat, cheese, veg w/dip, etc...) and a meat and veg meal. Also allowed 1 cup of fruit.< br />
First night I had a couple spoonfuls of baked Beans, and have been consuming probably closer to 1.5 c fruit. I'm tampering down the fruit to 1c tho, and haven't cheated with anything else that I am aware of.

No calorie limits. I weighed in at 313 Sunday morning. Today I weighed 305.

Mine is Sept. 16th. My LSD is for 3 days and is 5 to 6 shakes a day, depending on which

shake variety I chose, I can also have other Clear Liquids and up to to large dill pickles a day.

HI KohakuSeuda,

There’s actually a warning statement on the bottom of my pre-op diet sheet that says dizziness is common during the diet . Because the shakes are so low in sugar, it’s just enough to keep us above hypoglycemia. I’m on Day 2 of full liquids. Last week I had a meal and 2 shakes. Now, 5 shakes plus Water like you.

I will say from my memory when I had my lap band, day 3 is the worst. For many it gets a little better.

Since sugar free Jello is considered a clear 0 cal liquid, I’ve added those as well, just to feel the little bit of weight in my tummy. It seems to help with the hunger.

Best of luck!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
