The Final Countdown!



Recommended Posts

Hi all... well my operation will all be done this time next week... I am starting my 6 day milk diet tommorrow! Operation next sat (12th July)... I can't wait... so excited that I am finally getting it done after years of wishing could!

I never thought someone like me would be able to qualify for surgery given that my BMI is under 40... but I wish i'd enquired years ago now!!

I can't wait.......I just hope that I can cope with the milk diet given that I hate milk and it gives me a real bad stomach!! Oh well it'll be worth it in the end!

I am on the milk diet and have been told I can flavour with vanilla essence or Crusha 'no sugar' Syrup. It makes such a difference. Can also use coffee, but I don't like it with no sugar!

Best of luck.

Thank you all of you for your support... I must admit I am a bit nervous now! Can't believe its actually happening tomorrow morning!! The milk diet has been awful bearing in mind i hate milk and it makes me gag! I don't ever want to drink any milk again! Although I have had some Soup cuz another surgeon told me they only suggest milk & yogurt diets because some people can't work out or manage a low calorie/low fat diet which is all that is required!

I'm so excited & nervous & worried & glad!! I can't decide what I am!

:lol::biggrin2:

      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'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? 🤷‍♀️
