Recommended Posts

Hi i am a 34 year old mother of two; I have been trying unsucesfully lose weight for about 8 years. I lose 20 and gain 30 lbs back. I see my surgeon this week on 12/3 for all of the pre-op clearances.

I am really looking forward to a new healthier life style.

I have a date of 12/11 - so I am a few days before you... the first 2 days of the pre-op liquid diet were hard for me... I had a awful headache! Now, just finishing up day 4 and doing good!

Good luck to you!! :biggrin:

Hi~ Thanks for the reply's it is nice to meet others that are beginning this jounrey at about the same time as me, I just saw my surgeon today and did all the final pre-op testing @ the hospital. My surgeon requires the lovely liquid diet for 7 days before the surgery. He explained it to me that it is not to concentrate on losing weight it is to help your organs that are near the band placement to decrease in size to decrease the surgeon's chance of nicking them.

WEll ladies here we go I hope and pray that this is a great success for all of us!

Hello,

I'm getting banded on the 17th so I will be one day behind you. I started my liquid diet today and it is hard! I'm hoping it will get easier after a couple of days.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
