For the diet is the doctor suppose to give you the diet instructions or do you just do it on your own. My surgery is suppose to be this coming up friday but nothing was emailed to me about any specific instructions for the diet and they did in fact tell me that i will be on a 5 day liquid diet. Thanks in advance for your help :)

My surgery is on the 23rd and I am also doing a 5 day liquid diet. My surgeons office emailed me a pre and post op diet plan. I would start on a liquid diet a just call your surgeons office early tomorrow morning and see what they have to say.

If you don't have any information regarding the pre-op diet, call the office first thing tomorrow and get detailed instructions as to what you can or cannot eat. And while you have them on the phone, get all the information you need for post-op as well. This is very important...as important as the surgery itself and shame on your doctor's office for not providing the specifics you need to be successful. Wishing you success on your weight loss journey.

Wow! Hate to hear that. Wish you could get your care at TR in Houston. The doctors and staff are awesome. They should have provided you with everything you need to make WLS a success. I would keep pressing them if I were you. 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

      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... :(
