I am day 5 pre-op diet and I am wondering when does your energy level come back? I feel more sluggish than I did before? Finally made it through the Caffeine withdrawl/no food headaches. That was not fun! But I have my eye on the prize and just keep plugging along....10 days to go. I am down 11 pounds already which makes it all worth it.

Wow, you lost 26lbs during pre-op? Thats Amazing. You are going to do just fine. Soon you won't have the cravings and hunger pains to contend with! You can do this...Maybe you should treat yourself to a massage or a mani/pedi...You've worked hard...

So Happy for you!! How are you feeling?

I am so happy for you!! You'll be in my prayers and I cant wait to hear how your journey goes. Keep good thoughts and stay strong!

My surgery us in new Lennox I'll at silver Cross hospital!!

So nice to know there's others fighting the same battles. This has been the most emotional journey for me.. I have heard this per op diet is by far the worst. I'm wondering how long before I have more energy? Its amazing how now that I only eat 1meal a day I savor every moment. I know I could eat way more than 4oz Protein and 1/2 c of veggies. But now I'm fine with it. I am satisfied! I Hope everyone that is getting ready for surgery have great success! In my prayers sleevers!

Mine eased up on day 4. Lemon ginger tea from Walmart helped me. I use stevia instead of aspartame. Hang in there u can do it!

Thx. I'm doing 2 protein shakes, 8 chewable vitamins, coQ10 , 6-8 teaspoons of benefiber. Allowed 4oZ protein and half cup of veggies. 2- 1c servings of broth ( can't stomach it). 2 sugar free jellos abs

Day 3 of pre-op diet..yesterday morning was spent with pounding headache , nausea and dry heaving. I had to call off work..Slightly better today.. Wondering if its caffeine withdrawl? or all these vitamins? Or the Aspartme in the sugar free jello and popsicles? Anyone with any ideas?

U look Amazing, what an inspiration for me! Thanks for sharing

Thank you for the tips. It's a bit better today. I feel exhausted and just not clear in the head. lol.I hear that will correct itself too...good luck to all of us struggling!!

I start pre=op March 31st...I too am a bit scared of failure. Lets face it when you struggle with weight failure is definately a contributing factor. I am determined to GO BIG or Go Home. I am paying for this surgery out of pocket and I hope that is enough incentive to keep me focused!!!

Wow!!! You look FAB!!! I go in April 14th and start pre-op diet this monday. So ready to start this new journey!!!

I am one week away from pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for April 14th...So I too will be following you closely..
