Today is day 6 of 14 of my pre op diet. I was so worried about being hungry buts its just the opposite. I was hungry on day one and two...three no so much and 4 -6, I've missed enough of my diet packages to equal on day. Just not that hungry. I know I should take all they gave me for each day, but to think of eating it makes me nauseous. I can go all day on two Protein Bars and a SF Jello. That still leaves the envelope of cream of chicken, chicken noodle and two shakes. Im still losing weight...you think I'll be ok for surgery..I dont want them to do blood work and say Im undernourished or anything.

Ok here is my issue, just over a week out and I have plateaued on my weight loss. my Dr gave me a 20-25 lb weight loss requirement and I am still about 8 lbs off and can't seem to loose anymore. I have my last pre-op appointment with him on Tuesday, so I will see how I am doing.

I am following all of my NUT's diet requirements, but just haven't lost anymore. I am scared to death that come the morning of the 25th I won't have lost enough and I will get sent home. At this point of all the fears and concerns I have this is my greatest, to go through all this and then get sent home, what a let down that would be.

Oh my gosh.... I have felt the same way today!!! There was a mandatory meeting for one of the groups at my office today. Because it was being held during the lunch hour, they brought in some of the towns best PIZZA!!!! Ooooooh I was held hostage by such incredible aroma! But my liver and I escaped!!!!!

Hello June 25th sleevers! I can't seem to stop moving; some of it is nervous energy and some is as a result of losing about 40 pounds pre-surgery weight. I have everything I need for the Phase One liquid diet (2 weeks). Oh...and I bought plenty of Appletini Crystal Light; it was a Raley's. It was out of stock at Walmart and Amazon want too much for it. It really is good, tastes just like an apple jolly rancher hard candy. My insurance doesn't cover liquid Loritab (for pain relief) so that is going to be out of pocket. They will cover Vicodin which can be crushed; hoping to avoid having to do this because I have tons of other meds I will already be crushing. Well, that's it for my update. Hang in there everyone and know everything is going to work out just fine.

Hugs from California

I purchased the following:

Celebrate chewable vitamins (Amazon) Isopure Zero unflavored Protein Powder (Amazon) Acid Reducer Complete chewable (Walmart) Rapid Burst Liquid Acetaminophen extra strength cherry (CVS) SF Jello, No sugar added Dryer fruit popsicles, 100% clear juices (apple, white grape, white cranberry) that will be diluted by 50% with Water, Propel Zero Fitness Water (Costco) Gas X strips (Walmart) Listerine Pocket strips (Walmart) Moist heating pad (Walmart).

That's all I think, lol. I hope this helps.

Best Wishes,

Decided to have a pedicure today, so I'll have nice feet for surgery. Wouldn't want them to talk about me while I'm out of it. ;)

Went to see the surgeon and nutritionist today. They were pleased with my weight loss and even told me to go have my fave meal for dinner tonight and that I could prolly eat a responsible meal each day till surgery, watching the carbs, and have shakes for the other two meals.

I just found this site and I'm having surgery on Monday the 25th too. I've been doing the pre-op Protein shakes (New Direction) and am doing well. I'm so ready for some beef broth or something, though.

I'm feeling excited, nervous and ready for Monday! I look forward to looking around this site a bit more and checking in with all of you.

Best wishes to all of us for a safe surgery and speedy recovery!

Having surgery in Lansing, MI with Dr. Mindy Lane.

      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! 😞
