Hi. I’m about 5 months out. I’ve lost 53 pounds. I’m kinda short so the weight looks like a huge difference on my body type. I have weeks that stall and don’t see any weight loss. So far I have been able to eat just about everything ( in small amounts) with no reactions. I do wish I was loosing weight at a faster pace but Slow progress is still progress.

My surgery was April 6 .

starting weight was 218 on March 18.
surgery weight I was 209.

im now 190, I don’t feel like I’m losing weight fast enough, which is really discouraging because I’m really sticking to this diet.

I’m also 6 weeks and I have been getting hungrier. I’ve noticed what helps is drinking more Water. I also keep focus on Protein when I do eat.

how much weight have you lost ?

Just seen a super easy recipe for cauliflower mac & cheese. It’s one head of cauliflower, a quarter cup of Greek yogurt, a half cup of cheddar cheese, salt and pepper and parsley.

as you probably guessed you just boil the cauliflower and then salt and pepper then add Greek yogurt and cheddar cheese until it’s melted and parsley on top.

I can’t wait to try this it’s some thing I can actually have on the soft food diet and I can use fat free cheese to make it even better for me.

Sounds good! How many days are you post opp?

I’m 3 days post op and I’m getting hungry. I’m wanting more then just Clear Liquids. I have this diet for another week then I can go on full liquids. It’s getting hard for me and this is only beginning.

Morning all,

Today is my surgery day. Just got dressed in my super cute surgery gown, lol. So far, feeling calm. Not nervous actually. But hungry! First time. But, it's due to my own issue. I was so focused on drinking extra Water that I forgot to drink my last Protein Shake. Nurses getting me ready are great.

Wish you a fast and east recovery.

It's ok. Totally understandable. Might as well go and see what happens. Try not to stress too much tonight as that wont help you during surgery. All the best! 👍🌞

Thank you for your kind response

My surgery is tomorrow, I have to check in at 10am.

everything was going fine until this last week. My husband is now telling me that it’s a waste of money and I should try to loose the weight by exercising. I’ve been exercising for about a year and have lost some weight but not all of it since I had my last baby. Anyway this last week I was considering not doing the surgery anymore and I even ate some food. I haven’t ate for the last 2 days but now I’m worried If I do go tomorrow I will get cut open and not get to have the procedure.

sorry guys I’m just venting right now.

You can overcome it just be strong . In just a matter of time you will be able to have closer to a regular diet.

The first day of my 2 week liquid diet my daughter made cupcakes (I haven’t told her what I’m doing, other than it’s a simple procedure). I ate 3 that day. And throughout the week was so tempted. Kept dipping my finger into the frosting for a small taste til I finally told her to eat them or throw them away. She threw them away. Lucky for her she doesn’t have the sweet tooth I have!

But had surgery yesterday without any issues.

I’m glad it went good, congratulations!!

I am 11 days away, I’ve been on a pre op diet for for 8 days. But today I cheated and I feel stressed that my surgery won’t happen now.
the diet I’m on is 2 Protein Shakes a day and Water.

I feel horrible and I know I messed up, I just needed to vent.

How did my your surgery go? I’m preop 11 days and I cheated bad these last 2 days and now I’m scared my surgery will be canceled.

I am scheduled for April 6. In Tijuana

my BMI is 37, I’ve had a tt in 2013. The doctor wants me to be on liquid diet till my surgery.

Hi ! Did you have surgery with this doctor?
