I got my date... May 21! I'm very excited!!! Of course, I didn't lose any weight (didn't gain any either), so I'm on the liquids earlier than planned -- two liquid meals and one light meal. Surprisingly, I'm doing okay with this. I think the stubborn streak has kicked in and I know what I have to do in order to make this whole procedure go smoothly. But I have the date and I'm doing a happy dance...woohoooo :thumbup:

Liquid pre op is difficult, but I found I wasn't hungry. Of course, I WANTED TO EAT. It was good to prepare me for after surgery. I delt with some of those issues before and not during recovery.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Oh...I definitely know that feeling. I'm not hungry. I drink the Protein stuff and I'm fine. But I would love something solid...maybe a big piece of pizza or something :lol: But I agree, by starting this now and being very strict about it, it will only help after surgery :thumbup:

PIZZA! I cant wait to have a slice. I am waiting until I am down 50lbs. Right now I am stuck. scale not moving. I had my husband hide the scale because it was driving me crazy.

Everytime it gets tough just tune in to the web site. It got me through the first 2wks post op.

I'm on May 21st also, and I've decided I'm going to start the pre-surgery diet tomorrow so that I can get started losing weight now. (I'd start today, but we took the admin assistants out for lunch today.)

I'm having my surgery in Indy.

      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.
