I have 5 Protein Shakes a day, I'm allowed 1 fruit, 1 cup of veg. All the sugar free Jello I can stomach and sugar free popsicles. The headaches have been brutal and the sleeplessness is dreadful. It's doable as of Monday strictly liquids I have to stop all Vitamins. A week tomorrow it will be low sodium chicken broth, Jello green or yellow, I've pops and water. I've found the pre op diet varies for different people.

Thank you Fluffychix , the liquid diet is hell on wheels but I'm hanging in there, I can understand why people cheat but I'm not going to as I've come to far. Congrats to all post ops, please let us know how your doing on the other side?
Monday I have another pre-op and I have to stop all my Vitamins. This is getting real, good luck to all November buddies but best of luck to my fellow 27th November RNY buddies we've got this one more week, it's nearly our time YAY!!

I'm glad your not getting the head aches, I'm day four and the headaches are not as bad today. I tried the low sodium soup I though I'd been assaulted so disgusting.
We've got this fellow November buddies. 🤗🤗

Congrats to all of the post-surg patients!!!
Hang in there to all the pre-op liquid dieters (oh you KNOW who you are hahahaha)!! The end is near and you will be on the other side soon!
Happy Saturday in general!! I'm still hangin' in there and haunting you guys even though I'm not in the surgery cue any longer. My PCP and oncologist did write letters and sent their treatment/visit notes and the surgeon will resubmit on Monday. We honestly don't hold out hope, even though I can prove 6months of continual weight loss care by a physician. I think it's honestly gonna be end of Feb. or March before I get to have surgery. But I'm staying on plan and staying busy and letting go and letting God! Serenity NOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!! DAMMIT! NOW I say!
We're gonna start putting the Christmas tree up, since I will not be able to right after Thanksgiving, but we won't light any lights until after TG! Does that count or am I still a schmoe for doing it early?

Wow congratulations you look amazing.

That is a nice diet ...she got lucky!

I can certainly understand your mental state right now and hopefully your family does too! That liquid diet was tough and i only made it my the grace of God! I pretty much worked and stayed to myself because i knew i would miserable and didn’t want to push that onto anyone else. I will keep you in my prayers; but you got this just keep pushing! FYI drink even when you’re not thirsty that might help stave off hunger and maybe even those headaches. [emoji1488]

I'm allowed one fruit, one veg/salads and one carb. Plus 5 shakes a day. I have to drink lots of Water too, that is I drink it as lemon and ginger Decaf tea.

Johnny if you are referring to my response to the person who is 10 days post op and discouraged by not losing a large amount weight yet I would like to inform you that I am a Registered Nurse of 40 years. This is a fact that I have known for a very long time due to my research but last week we had physician attend our support group and someone asked a similar question as the person that I responded to. The physician said this exact thing. Before you leave irate insults you should have common sense to research first and make sure that you aren't the stupid one.

Thanksgiving will be 2 days after leaving hospital, so I'm vegging on the couch and probably sleeping. Thankfully it's a small get together this year.

Hi. I am going to have my RNY on November 27th. This is day 3 of my liver shrinking diet. I have been a daily reader here but this is only my second time posting.

I am 56 years old and I had a small stroke last year. I have no lasting problems from the stroke but it woke me up. I do not want to be obese. I have spent the last 8 months pursuing this surgery. Tests, drs appointments and classes have made me stronger. This site with all of you, has made me stronger.

Thanks for all of your conversations that have given me so much hope.
