Looks like I'll be bringing up the rear here! My surgery is 6/26. I have to do a liver shrinking diet for 10-14 days pre-op, and then a complete clear liquid diet for 2 days pre-op.

I'm so ready for this!

I'm June 27! Had my preop appointment today and started my liquid diet two weeks early. It was tough the first couple days, I find the weekend the most challenging.

My surgery date is 6/28! Getting excited but starting to get really nervous about the pre op diet which I will start on 6/14...Is it strange at this point I am more nervous how I am going manage on the diet then I am about the actually surgery?!?

I'm June 27 also! I'm on 3 shakes a day for 3 weeks plus salad veggies. This is day 3 of the pre-op diet and though the hunger is getting a bit better I'm pretty envious of those who are on the southbeach or low carb. I am going to stick to it but I feel like an addict going through some cold turkey withdrawals...

I guess we are on the same diet pre op with the veggies and shakes...although they said I only have to do 2 weeks of it. Soooo nervous about it. Have a few get togethers scheduled right after i have to start the pre op. How are you doing with it? Do you still have energy?

I am happy to report tht day 3 is almost to a close and I feel much better now than the first 2 days, let me tell you. I was starting to get worried, I'm a chipper person and don't like to feel grumpy or lethargic.

I wanna play!

I'm June 19th. I'm starting my own' date=' self-prescribed pre-op diet on Monday after my pre-op appt at the hospital, My surgeon only requires a day before clear liquid diet, but after listening to everyone here, I am going to do a couple of Protein shakes and a very small meal. I'm very excited. I have told a few friends (very few, like 5), my family of course (who are EXTREMELY happy for me), my boss, and a few co-workers. My husband's family will NOT be told. At least not until I have to. They will not be supportive at all, they would be the ones watching me like a hawk and judging me.

I'm excited to begin my Renaissance.[/quote']

Me too! please let me know how you're doing in the process of your new life!

      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.
