Just had my Gastric Sleeve last Thursday, September 8,2022….I think I regret it but I’m guessing that is my inner fat boy talking.

Hi friend!

First off I wish you a very speedy recovery.

second- what’s going on? Why do you feel that way? Is it pain?

mine is sept 20 (Tuesday.) I am very nervous but cautiously optimistic that this will be it.

Good luck to everyone having surgery this week. You've got this!!!

Today is/was the first day of pre-op liquid diet. Must complete 2 weeks of this before surgery. I've gotten in over 60 oz. of liquids. Mostly Water and Gatorade Zero plus 60 grams of Protein from the Premier shakes today.

Am I suppose to be doing the 1-2 oz. sips with this pre-op diet?

Wow, lots of new folks joining us this week. Welcome all!

I'm finishing up my first week of my pre-surgery diet today. I'm on 3-4 Protein Drinks and 64 oz Fluid per day. No meals.

Honestly, it hasn't been a big deal at all. I think what's helping me is lots of variety and just staying busy to keep my thoughts off things I'm not supposed to eat. Plus, I wasn't really eating all that much before this, so the transition wasn't too drastic.

My Protein sources:

My Fluid Sources:

  • Coffee
  • Herbal Iced Tea
  • Store Bought low-sodium broth
  • Millie's Sippin' Broth (these are a nice change of pace)

Other:

  • I'm allowed 1 cucumber or pickle a day (it's nice to have something to crunch)
  • sugar free Jello (I don't really count this toward my fluid intake, though I could.

Ok guys I tried to be a bad ass and not take the pain meds… wrong answer! You can make it through the day without them but if you want rest take them at night! Surgery yesterday morning 9/12. And as he said the numbing agent wore off In the middle of the night and y’all that ain’t no joke! So here I sit in pain waiting on that to kick in. I am not normally and wimp I have a very high pain tolerance. But woo-wee that stings a little!

      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.

      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!!
