Hi, I am scheduled for June 27th. I just started to 2nd week of the pre-op diet, which calls for 1000Cal/day and I can eat solid foods, like Lean Cuisine etc. Some people mention here that they eat only liquids as pre-op diet. (???) I hope I did not misunderstand my doctor.. How is your pre-op diet?

I'm the 27th! Heather, every doctor has different guidelines for their pre-op diet so I'm sure you didn't misunderstand him. Mine is 2 shakes and 2 small meals (high Protein no carb). And I know some people are on full liquids, and some don't have a pre-op diet at all. It's just up to your doctor!

Hi Rbmk,

I think our pre-op diet is similar. I have to eat 2 shakes and 2 frozen meals, plus raw vegetables per day.

Tonight, I slipped.. I was invited to a dinner party and I had 2 glasses of wine. At least it was not a whole bottle :) I am not happy about it.

I am banded! Overall I'm doing pretty good. Sore from bloating in my upper stomach area but my doctor said that would pass in a few days. I go home shortly and I can't wait!

I am glad to hear that you are fine. I did not experience the shoulder pain, but they say that it goes away in a day or two.

      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.
