It’s going! Lol Day 4 down. It’s mentally challenging more than anything. With all of the Protein Shakes I can’t say I’m overly hungry or anything but I do miss chewing. Jello and chewing ice pops have been helping a little with that.

Today was a little challenging because I cooked dinner for my family. The first 3 days my husband took over and I avoided being in the room with them while they ate lol

I was getting a little sick of the Premier Protein shakes after 3 days so I switched it up today and had the fairlife shakes. They’re really good! Also liking Gatorade Zero. 17 days to go!

I know it has to be hard especially when you're preparing good for you family. Hang it there your surgery will be here before you know it! I heard the premier clear Protein Water is good, might be worth a try? We don't have much time left!! I can't believe in 16 days we will be getting our surgeries done! We are almost there you got this!!

Hi I could use a buddy too. My surgery for sg is scheduled 4/5. Excited and nervous! My doc office has not been the best at relaying all the info and I am a little overwhelmed at all of the appts. I was told to start a liquid diet 3/29 but I can only have 1 Protein Shake per day. I think that scares me more than anything :). Looking for any friends who can offer any help at all!

I know all of the appts have been so overwhelming, we are almost there!

I would confirm the pre-op liquid diet plan with your doctors office. Did you have to see a nutritionist? I know every plan is different, but mine has me doing 6 Protein Shakes a day. I couldn’t imagine getting through this on only one per day 😱

Hi, @enamio18! I did see a nutritionist for 6 mos. I just got the email from my doc yesterday and it shows 1 shake. Boo.
I am going to do my best, but I did buy a few extra in case I am dying.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
