I'm in Fort Worth and my surgeon is Dr. Kuhn 6/13. Began pre op diet today.

What did your pre op diet consist of if I may ask? Dr. Kuhn is also my surgeon and my day is 8/19/13

So far, through conversation, I've discovered that every doctor's diet is a little different.

Mine had me on liquids for one week prior (1-2 weeks depending on BMI). It was pretty much whatever liquid (sugar free of course) up to 48hrs before surgery. Then clear only. That's about it.

I also was back on small portions of real food at starting at 2 weeks and added certain things until 8 weeks. At 8 weeks it was whatever I could handle.

Why are you struggling? Pain, or other issues? I'm getting sleeved on Wed. I'm interested in joining the support group as well.

I'm happy to say that I WAS struggling! I couldn't get liquids to go down... even the smallest baby sip felt like a huge gulp! I went in to see the doc and he did another swallow test and found that my sleeve was almost swollen shut.... and clogged with mucus. He gave me steroid shot and it was better the next day! I can take normal drinks now!!!

I may be interested in the future. As of now I just don't see myself ever going with school starting. What's it like? I've wondered if it was worth it.

I'm getting the sleeve done in September in Forest Park. I'm a little nervous, but am hoping this network will help me out.

      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?

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?

      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! 😞
