I Am On My 1St Day Of Pre-Op Diet!



Recommended Posts

I recently found the Syntrax Nectar Protein Powder, and had it overnighted. This has been a godsend! Instead of being really thick, it's just slightly thicker than Water. If you've ever had Sunny D, I would say that's a good comparison as far as consistency.

Well, if this can be a bit of a motivator, after 8 days of pre-op liquid only diet, I fit into a pair of jeans I have not worn since 2007. I can't tell you how much I lost since i don't own a scale, and still on the fence about getting one, but wow! super impressed with my will power. Keep it up guys!! this is bringing us closer to our dreams. :rolleyes:

See! You had it in you all the time! I wore a skirt today that I haven't worn in 8 months. The back would ride up because of my big *$s. SO HAPPY!

Good luck to all of you just starting your journey. It's hard in the beginning, but really helps prepare you for whats to come and also the weight loss is a big incentive. I had surgery end of June this year and I've lost 40+ lbs and it feels amazing. I feel and look so much better already! I didn't think I would make it in the beginning, but decided to follow the rules and not cheat. I still eat mostly all Protein, no bread or Pasta. It's becoming routine now and I just don't have as much desire to eat the junk food. The scar on my belly is a forever reminder to stay on course. Hope your surgery goes well and your journey is successful.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
