my pre op diet consists of Protein Shakes for Breakfast and lunch and 6-8oz Protein and veggies for dinner..not bad but no diet is fun! they said you have to lose 10-20 pounds before surgery or they wont do it, something about they dont want you insides to be as fatty? i dont know...i just know i have to lose 10 pounds, but it should be easy to do that on such a strict diet.

Hi I'm scheduled for June 6th! Tomorrow will be day 6 of the dreaded liquid diet :) but so far so good. God must have his hand over my mouth so far or I would have already cheated. But I can not believe that even though I have been hungry it has been ok. I cook dinner for my family ( my husband, my 16 year old daughter, my 12 year old neice and my 3 year old son) and even sit at the table with them while they eat and I am ok. So come on June 6 I cant wait. On June 12 my husband and I will be married 24 years I am hoping that by this time next year I will be back to the thin bride he married!

Hi My date is June 9th also. On day 4 of the liquid diet now and doing well. I'm so looking forward to my big day. I don't think anyone who is not in our situation can really appreciate what this means.

Good luck to you.

Hi Everyone,

How are you guys doing on your pre-op diets? I'm on day 3 and I never knew that so many food commercials came on!!!! LOL I think I'm going to try and mash some cauliflower and dream they are potatoes. I hope everyone is doing well and staying the course.

Thanks so much and the best to you as well :D

Keep me informed on your progress and keep up the liquids. I had to lose the weight my surgeon wanted me to first but because of this will have no liquid diet. You can do it!

Sending Lots of Love your way!

Your Band Sista!

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
