My surgery is set for 12/6/13. I started day 1 of the 1,000 calorie diet. It's two Protein Shakes, one for Breakfast, the other for dinner. For lunch is a Smart One's, Lean Cuisine with 200-300 calories. I'm nervous but also ready to start this journey.

Dec 4th!!! Anxiety is kicking in. Is it strange that they haven't told me what time my surgery is yet? Also I'm hearing that it's odd that I'm not on a liquid pre-op diet....

I've read some are and some aren't on a pre-op diet. My Dr. did not assign a clear liquid. Just under 1000 calories and eating things that are sugar and fat free. Intake of 70-90g of Protein. At midnight the night before, I was not drink or eat.

I too have no idea the time. A nurse did call me and got the major information confirmed but said they'd call before 4pm with the time.

I wouldn't worry about the surgery time. At my hospital, the policy is to call the day before with the time. A first I thought that was odd, but now I have accepted it. I know my date and that is good enough for me.

Good luck!!

      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!!

      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
