Also important to take up a hobby especially if you are a snacker. I started crocheting to keep my hands busy. Water is definitely the answer

I have taken up sleeping as my new hobby lol :)

I wonder if we have the same surgeon. Mine deal is shakes and liquids only with the exception of sf Jello and sf popsicles, oh and broth if I'm gonna die. I'm on day 19 of this liquid diet and surgery is Thursday. Hang in there.

I would be a mess if I woke up and the doctor didn't do the surgery. I am going to call tomorrow and ask about the Protein. I understand not having sugar and carbs but the nurse also told me you won't be hungry!! What a joke. This is hell and I consider myself very strong willed. I have lost 6lbs since I started the shakes Friday morning. I understand shrinking the liver is important but I still feel 14 days with nothing but shakes is unrealistic.....

that is the exact reason i did not cheat.

i can honestly say that and its not said with arrogance

it was done solely so i did not wake up and dr said, guess what.

it made me try harder.

Now I'm a bit scared, I do not want to wake up on my surgery and find out that nothing happened because I cheated one day!!! But the patient advocate told me that I can cheat one day since it was my birthday. I ate at IHOP a 330 calorie omelette, side order of hashbrowns and 2 cups of coffee w/splenda and for dinner 2 hotwings and alot of veggies with regular ranch, 2 beers, 2 shots, 1 mix drink....didn't get to eat much because I got busy with my guest. HELP!! What should I do to make up for this day. More Water? more Protein uugghhh!!! :unsure: my surgery is this coming thursday.

My Doctor did not require the 2 week pre-op diet.

Seems extreme to me.

Just seeing how its going for you? I'm on day 13, one day of liquids to go! I tried counting down to make it seem better, before I knew it, one day left before my op. exciting and scary at the same time

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