I am scheduled with Dr Garcia Nov 5th and my coordinators said I only needed a 5 day prep. I was thinking I would do the whole 14 day prep anyway though. It can't hurt to be a little lighter before surgery. Have you guys started exercising? I was wondering if cardio or weights was more important pre surgery. People keep saying it will help with recovery. Just wondering if it was referring to strength (weights) or stamina (cardio). Likely I should do both, but I currently have nerve troubles and my right arm/leg go numb when I work out, so not sure I could get both done at the same time.

Its weird how the different coordinators for the same doctors give different pre op instruction.

yeah that is weird! 5 day preop would be awesome! im on my 5th day today, and if that was the case then i would have flew through the 5 day preop diet with out the complaints! really though, the preop diet hasnt been to bad, i think im handling the protien shakes better then i thought i would! Im really wonder what Garcia has in store for my post op diet! In my packet it just says 2 weeks of liquids/soft foods e.i. sugar free pudding/jello, thin soups... but i dont know whats after the 2 weeks...

      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! 😞
