Congrats! Glad to hear everything went well, and you're already feeling better. First few hours after were definitely a bit rough, but I don't remember much about them beyond that thankfully, lol. I think maybe my brain blocked most of it out, or the anesthesia was still working it's memory magic.

Hahaha oh yeah! Was mostly in recovery I felt horrendous!!

My surgery is today at 7:30 I’m nervous….

Good luck, you’ll be absolutely fine! I had mine at 5pm yesterday and I’m already feeling much better, just the first few hours after were rough but it passes! X

I was going to reach out to her tomorrow and see what she says. I weigh, measure & log everything I eat & drink, so to say I'm frustrated is an understatement. My biggest worry is that he'll open me up, see a big, fat liver, and close me right back up ... and I still have to pay. Lol

Oh man I can imagine your concern! I would definitely reach out and see what they suggest! If you’re following it correctly I can’t see why your liver won’t shrink though so try not to worry too much ☺️

I'm on my 7th day of my 14 day pre-op diet and have lost exactly nothing. I've had no trouble adhering to it, have been getting in my 30 minutes of exercise in daily, but my scale hasn't budged. No movement in muscle or Water or body fat, either. Is this even possible? Lol

My surgery is a week from tomorrow and I'm really second-guessing myself. I feel like I'm going to be spending thousands of dollars on this DS surgery to lose 10lbs. If I'm lucky.

Do you have a dietitian or anyone you can check in with as that’s a little odd. I’ve done this diet twice and both time have lost weight. My surgery is tomorrow and I’m currently down 9kg from 2 weeks of LRD. I would reach out to the team who is in charge of your surgery and see what advice they have.

I think it's mostly a mental thing for me.Nights are the hardest as you say. I did goof up this morning and I hope it won't lead to my surgery being postponed. I didn't realize how important this step is so I am going to knuckle down and get serious.

I am struggling with feeling incredibly hungry too, the only things making me stick to it perfectly is the fear of not shrinking my liver enough and the op being postponed. I’m 8 days down now, 6 to go. I know it’s so easy to say it but try and think of it as a brief but very important part, and of course things will be much easier and better afterwards 🤞🏻

Booked in for my bypass on 14th June! Started my LRD on Monday... soooo hungry 😭😂
