Finally Scheduled!!



Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled for January 23rd and so excited!

I started my pre-op diet last Wednesday, which consists of 2 protien shakes and 1 meal. I find if I have my 8 glasses of Water, I'm usually good and not hungry. The operation has got me so psyched that I want to loose wieght on the pre-op diet, which helps with having shakes for 2 meals.

I also got a dog and have been walking him for 1 to 2 hours daily. It's paid off and I've already lost 7 pounds!! I have been stuck in the 240's forever and when I saw 237 pop up on the scale, I had a smile on my face.

Even though I'm excited and starting off on the right footing, I am nervous about post op diets and actually moving to solid foods. It's not like their are cookbooks you can order. Unless there are and I just don't know it yet. I will definitly check out the forums here, though.

Best of Luck, Everyone!! :cursing:

Welcome! You'll do fine! I bought a couple of cook books but the post op diets don't really last long enough (IMHO) to require them...and once healed, I eat what the family eats, just less.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
