Day one pre-op diet is complete...not bad, I stuck to it and kept busy. I missed the crunching and chewing the most but I wasn't really hungry. I am scheduled for prep tests all day tomorrow so I am at a nearby hotel since I'm an hour and a half away and don't want to hit commuter traffic and delays. I got a confirmation letter in the mail that basically said you're late, you are out! No pressure! Haha. Oh well, early to bed so I am not late!

My surgery is March 25. Im on day 8 of my preop diet. I yhink im opposite of most people. I found the first 3 days of preop diet easy, then I got hungry on day 4. Biggest issue is I feel so tired and no energy. Its been really hard to exercise bc im sooo tired.

March 30th - First day of diet went great. Preop tests done. Best day at the gym so far. Two shakes then 4oz chicken in 2 cups of salad and tiny sprinkle of dressing. Tracking everything in My Fitness Pal. First step - Whew.

At this time next week I will be "sleeved"! I am looking forward to it! I have next week off work for spring break, my kiddos are gone, and my husband has taken a few days off work. My plan is to rest, rest, and rest! I keep trying to envision everything going well, no complications, and sailing through this!

Just completed my first day of pre-op liquid diet. I did a "trial" day Saturday to see if what I had picked up shakes, low sodium broth, sugar free popsicles were going to work out when it mattered. aI was super bummed when having only consumed 500 calories I went up a pound the next day! My surgery is on March 30. Unlike some of you brave souls I am not going to work out for the next two weeks while on this liquid diet. At 56 years old I feel that I will pass out on the treadmill. I am looking forward to my surgery but I must admit that reading some of the posts about slow weight loss, stalls and regrets does get to me. There are many more posts of happy sleevers though! I have lost 28 pounds on my own since January 25th but I know in the past I have not been successful long term. My husband is supportive and has completely changed his lifestyle this time. So I am going to take advantage of my insurance authorization and have the much needed surgery.

I'm scheduled for 7:15am Wednesday morning!

I dropped almost 15 lbs the last 2 weeks on my pre-op diet. 2 liquid meals and a small carb free Protein dinner. I'm so ready!

I did a trial day too> I would just try to get some a little walk here and there.. I usually work out really hard, and I took a break from that.. I did a lot of cleaning too.

Fun isn't really the point though!

Fun is doing all the things we could never do fat. food is fuel.
