Hi my name is Brooke, I am new to site and group. My surgery date is May 18, and I am pretty nervous but excited too! I have been trying to get on site for a while now but I have only been able to read.

 

I started my 14 day pre surgery diet and liver detox. I went on May 3rd to weigh in and I was 308.6. I have been on a liquid diet and today I weighed myself and I was 299. I start the liver detox part of it tomorrow. Wish me luck. I am supposed to be drinking some Protein Shakes but I have only managed to get one and a half down. I dont like them they are very bad tasting I had to hold my nose to get others down. I hope I am getting enough nutrients.

Welcome Brooke! I'm may 18 too... As far as the shakes try Premier Protein from costco or SAMs . They have 30g of Protein and 1 g of sugar. Hard to believe they taste so good.

Thanks and good luch on your surgery. The ones I am supposed to be drinking I got from dr. Not sure if he would allow me to use something else. They are very strict but the ones I have are from arbonne, vanilla flavored. I hate vanilla these are too sweet or something. I tried mixing them with one of the cups of yogurt light Im allowed to have but its still pretty bad.

Well hang in there! I bought some unflavored Unjury to put in my broth. That has helped to get the Protein in and I'm loving my sugar free Popsicles ! Can you eat the fage Greek yogurt and add sugar free strawberry preserve. My nutritionist told me to have that during this phase. Taste good to me, gives me the feeling like I'm eating- I need to chew!

Hello !

My surgery was May 14th. Banded plication, hernia repair, and gall bladder removal. It was a breeze. So much easier than I expected it to be.

Today is Day 4 on my doc's plan. I can have full liquids. I'm still just doing Vitamin waters and sugar free popsicles. I did put cream in my coffee this morning. I am not really hungry and my doctor says you really don't need to eat for a week..it will jump start your weight loss and speed healing of the plication.

Congrats to all the newbies and best wishes to all the soon to be !

Nita

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
