I'm February 25th. I'm supposed to start my low carb diet today, but i started last week. I figured it couldn't hurt. I have a goal of loosing 53lbs before surgery, not sure I'm going to make it. So far I'm down about 44. I'm just ready for it to be over so I can move onto the next phase.

Me too. Me too. Only 2 day pre-op diet required. But I've been doing low carb since 2/1 and I'm replacing 2 meals with Protein Shakes starting 2/15.

I am now starting day 3 pre-op. I am doing OK I had a little slip up the first night but I think I was trying to be an over achiever. The second day/night proved to be alot easier once I was more realistic.

Good luck ladies my goal is 10 pounds pre op. seeing as I gained 4 pounds in the process of consult/authorization. I would like to be 10 pounds lighter than my highest which was Monday morning. Which btw is the highest I will ever be again!

Well I made it though the surgery. I only had one scary moment. The nurse was having problems putting in my IV and I just about passed out. I guess my heart rate dropped into the 30s. Made everyone nervous. Anyway, they tried a different vein and I was fine. Surgery went on as planned. My vitals were good enough to send me home. Went back today to get some fluids. Feeling okay as long as I keep taking my pain meds. Getting Water down is challenge.

I came within 5lbs of my surgery goal weight. I lost 48lbs since the start of this process.

I hope everyone has a speedy recovery.

I did weigh yesterday, I am not sure how to count days post op I had surgery Monday so yesterday would be to me 2 days post op, but some are considering it 3 so idk. Anyway I was 6 pounds lighter from morning of surgery to when I come home last night and got a shower. I promised myself I would not be scale crazy and weigh myself everyday so I didn't I am going to wait until Monday again.

Sleeved 2-25 and I must say I'm overwhelmed. Rocked the 2 week pre op clear liquids but this part is rough. I though my c sections would have been worse. Oh well, pushing through. Got 4 oz Protein down this am and did my shot, and walked the grocery store. Just want a huge glass of water! Tried another 4 oz protein and couldn't keep the sips down. Ready for a nap!!!

I weighed, just out of curiosity. I've gained 10lbs. Not a huge surprise as they have pumped me full of fluids. I'm on full liquids and have no problem getting my Protein down. Just takes a long time.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
