I'm 1 week out as well. Surgery was 7/16. Im going through the same things you're all going and the back pain I'm exhausted! The first week I had to stay 3 nights post op at the hospital since my stomach was too swollen. I lost 5 pounds this first week, and I was expecting a bit more than that... Hopefully this week will be better :-) I'm still on Clear liquids, and doing Protein shots pretty much every day to get some protein in. Tomorrow it's my appointment with my surgeon and he will decide whether I can move on to clear liquids or puréed food. Best of luck to everyone and congratulations on your weight loss so far!!!

Hello! I'm having surgery next Monday 7/16/12. Anyone else having surgery the same day?

My Surgery will be on the 16th of July, and I too have cheated on my pre op diet. The surgeon put me on a only liquid diet for 9 days and 1 clear liquid. Today is day 3 and I've cheated I'm also low BMI 38, and called my surgeon's office and they said I should be ok, just don't do it again! :-) hope this helps!
