May Surgery Dates???



Recommended Posts

I start my pre op diet on Wednesday. Just wondering how everyone's mood is on the pre op liquid diet? I know for me on low calorie diets I get very angry and feel like crap after a few days.

FYI Tawnya, I have been a bear at times. But, one week into it now, and a little better. I was homicidal for a few minutes on Friday when I saw the pizza guy deliver a pizza next door!

I get vanilla Protein powder and use skim milk. I use 1 tbl spoon of sugar free fat free choc. pudding mix and shake it. It tastes just like choc milk. That's what I have been living on for 2 weeks. Also you can get PB2 if you like Peanut Butter and mix it in, and it tastes like a reeces Peanut Butter cup.

May 13. I start my pre op diet Monday. I have already waned my husband and coworkers I will probably be terrible to be around for that time.

I don't go to my dr until the 7th and ill try some of his shakes but since ill have a week on my own can anyone recommend any good shakes I could get at the store? Thanks good luck to all!

With everyone talking about their mood on the preop diet (and my own personal fear) I am beginning to believe that I did hide my feelings with food. Regardless of what the mood is...happy...mad...sad...I used food to either Celebrate or drown out those emotions.

Perhaps the key is journaling or letting someone know how I'm feeling. Even if its on here...better than eating that feeling. Congrats to those of you that are recognizing that they're feeling grouchy or that this is really hard...and for posting it on here.

I use Unjury (powder) shakes that you order on the internet. So far I hate the chocolate splendor (and I LOVE chocolate), the vanilla and strawberry aren't bad, but I like the unflavored mixed with crystal light the best. Good luck to you all!

Lol... I know I have been cranky several times and that's my q to take a nap. For the most part I feel better now. I still get a little emotional when certain foods are eaten around me and I know I can't have it. I totally can relate to you. I just hope after my surgery on May 1st that I don't feel so hungry, because it seems these last few days I have been feeling real hungry.

      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

      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... :(
