Renjen... you have and are doing great! follow your docs suggestions and I know your stall will come to an end. Keep up the great work. Well happy to say that my stall ended and I am again loosing about 1 to 2 pounds a week! I did nothing special to start loosing again although I did track food and found I was eating around 1200 calories a day. I guess that is a good amount for me.

Yesterday I went to Dress Barn to purchase some smaller pants. It was the first time ever I went to the regular size side of the store YEAH. I must admit I did feel a little lost, had no idea what size I am. The saleslady had me spin around and told me I was a REGULAR size 16!!. When I went to purchase the pants she told me I saved $10 on each pair because regular size is cheaper! YEAH

No but I did crave salty things for quite a while after my bypass. Now I am having trouble getting in all the fluids that I should. I have taken to watermelon and popcycles to fill the water gap. How are you on fluids?

oh yes on the liquid BM. Also when I fart, not sure if it is just a fart because I have SHARTED several times. Yes and the smell is enough to even nock my dog over. I have some gas too. mostly just getting tired of making sure I get enough liquid in before my belly hurts.

Ditto ditto!

Yes I am getting super board! I just cant get comfortable. I feel like I cant sit still. I have no desire for food and quite frankly feeling done constantly thinking about how much fluid I am drinking. I do feel a little bit better every day. I tried chicken boulion and V8 juice I like the salt those are both considered clear liquid.

yea I an an April 1 surgery too. sipping small enough is a challenge for me. and yes I am so tired.
I am not really in pain, just have trouble getting comfortable.
I am not getting in all my protein yet, but attempting to get water in. I hear that staves off nausea.
Keep updating! Hope you and I are just a little better tomorrow

Brave lady! I was 4/1 like you. I got d/c the next day. feeling uncomfortable but no pain to speak of. How are y now

Encouragement? Well, I feel the same!!! I check in at 5:45 so we are REALLY going to be surgery twins. I am mostly packed. and just trying to push Monday out of my head!. I think we waited sooooo long that it is crazy to think the day is almost here. I wish you the best, and lets keep in touch. Good luck...

Hi everyone, I’m on day 4 of the pre-op diet. Surgery date is April 2.
Anyone else with an April date?
Any advice from others already gone through the surgery?
I have to travel next week, due to work. Any advice on how to manage the diet?

I'm a few days behind you - starting liquids on the 25th. Definitely dreading the first three days as well, and I'm glad I had a few days after getting back from a prescheduled Disney vacation (I was originally scheduled to go for surgery in December, but got derailed by insurance), the key is to have something external to focus upon.

Hey y’all I’m new here.

I started my pre op liquid diet today and boy was I not mentally prepared for it but I think it went well except I had a rice pudding thinking it’d be ok until my nutritionist said nope. So I’m hoping tomorrow is better. They say the first 3 days are the hardest so we’ll see. Hopefully I’m not scaring anyone. Just sharing my experience ??. Anyone else started liquid today? How was it? Any tips?

Day one of the pre-op liquid diet! That means that surgery is only two weeks away!! Stuff is getting real!

just my fyi,,, I have found that the HMR shakes are pretty good. I am told I need to add milk to them to up the protein. Can you suggest any brands for me?

I start my shrink the liver diet on the 18th too! It is exciting to start a new way of living/eating,
