Welcome and good luck with Pre-op liquids!!

[regainingmytime 6]

For the early January Sleevers, how is everyone doing on their preop diets? I'm allowed to have 2 Protein Shakes, 1 can of broth based Soup, and 2 Snacks (sugar free Jello, fat free yogurt or cottage cheese). Im on day 3 and down 5 lbs. My cravings and mood were terrible for the first 2 days but today is better.

I'm getting ready for January 3rd! On day 3 of liquids but I feel pretty good bc my nutritionist had me do Meal Replacements starting with 1 about a month out and 2 about 2 weeks ago. It was more of a gradual process to get me used to it without going hard core liquids on 12/27.

Preop is going OK so far- was a little hard as we were traveling for the holidays, but hopefully will get easier now that we are back home. I’m on mostly liquids (protein shakes/soup) with also some yogurt and sf pudding/jello- also raw veggies if I am still hungry (which I am). I also noticed that the first two days were really hard- I had a terrible headache, but the third day felt much better. Must have been withdraw from carbs/sugar/caffeine. A bonus is that I’ve lost 7 pounds in 4 Days- woohoo! Kind of surreal to think this is actually happening after so many months of waiting. Hope you are all doing OK on your preop diets!

The pre-op diet is going. I’m supposed to be at 800 calories a day with lean Protein, vegetables, and Protein Shakes. I’ve been having Tomato juice, cucumbers, peppers, broccoli, mushrooms, cauliflower rice, chicken and my big splurge.... a mandarin orange. Anyhow, I’m having a hard time staying under 800. But I haven’t gone over 1000. I’ve been getting dizzy in the afternoons, figure it’s low blood sugar. But I’m pretty committed because, well, I’m committed to this process.

I just got out of the hospital today and am reflecting on what you guys are going through! It gets easier as time goes along and the only time I really have pain right now is if I lay on my stomach or use my abs. It will hurt the first time you drink and that is NORMAL. I almost freaked out and my doc said no it’s your sleeve waking up. If you have any questions I’ll be happy to answer any of them

My gas pains went away fairly quickly. When they started the nurse had me up and walking and through the walk I started burping which made me feel better. Just make sure you’re up and walking and it’ll go away relatively fast!

My pre-op diet is only one week and I start New Year's Day. Eek! 2 Protein Drinks and one Protein based meal. Will be a challenge but I have my eye on the prize! Good luck everyone!

Jan 29th I am so excited !

[hdbuttahz 15]

Scheduled for Jan 23 and as the days go by, specifically now that it’s nearly January, I am sick with worry and anxiety. I’ve been pretty certain and excited up until this point and now I’m questioning everything. I start my preop diet next week and I’m scared sh!tless that I’m going to mess it up. I’ve been told if I don’t lose 10lb during the 2 week preop diet, the surgeon will not do the surgery. It seems like everything varies from state to state, surgeon to surgeon, so much so that while we’re all going through the same thing, I feel like everyone’s experiences are different so I REALLY don’t know what to expect, and that’s freaking me out even more. Help!

As long as you don’t gain weight during the 2 weeks you should be fine. My surgeon made it clear that if I gained weight by the surgery date it will be cancelled. Just don’t gain, you’ll be fine [emoji5]
