So, I am on day 4 of my pre-op liver shrink diet. How stupid of me to put myself to only be on liquids the weekend for the SuperBowl. I am supposed to serve 40lbs. Of prime rib at the party. There is no way I will be able to do that without eating, will I? Not sure if I am going to put myself into that position. Wednesday is going to come do fast! Look out world the new and improved Big O is coming! My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. We will be strong, we will be brave, and we will be there for each other. God bless!

I am on day 3 of 7 day Clear Liquids. Day one was tough while at a work conference with 5 buffets throughout the day! Torture! This site has been immensely helpful. Cytosport and premiere are lifesaving! Made some homemade chicken broth today which is kicking the canned broth's butt.

Sleeved on Feb 1st.. Surgery went great... Doc says liver was perfect... After recovery they put me in a room ( didn't notify my family) and left me for an hour. I was in so much pain it was in my back...once I got pain medicine they had to alternate with two different kinds b/c they i went so long without meds.. They had to get it under control... Finally I was told that I was not in the hospital records so they could not give me pain medicine right away.. But the good news is I'm home...feel much better just a little sore..

Hi! New to this site :) I am being sleeved February 25th in Missouri through the hospital where I work as a nurse. Excited and nervous :) My son was sleeved December 17,2012 and is down 90 lbs. He lost 30 lbs prior to surgery but 60 in the past 6-7 weeks. Good luck to everyone!

Good luck! Keep us posted! I'll be there on the 18th!

I am post op day three, and it has been rough. I can't stand feeling nauseated. I would advice bringing your own sugar free Jello and bullion cubes. You will need to buy bottled Water because the water here is awful, just showering in it is enough to worsen nausea. The hospital is a bare bones operation but the people are very nice and helpful. Like I said being nauseated is like a death sentence to me so I am pretty miserable right now. I can't wait to get home Be away from the smell of the water. Not looking forward to a five hour flight though. Ugh good luck on the 18th

I am!!! Start pre-op liquid diet on 2/5. I've done it before and it is brutal, but I can do it! :-) Good luck to you!

yes w/ the butterflies. I keep second guessing myself. one minute i'm thinking this is exactly the change I need. the next I'm thinking, why am I putting myself through this, what's so bad about being fat, you're healthy, you don't want to make a mistake do you?

I just need to get past the surgery and move on to the next step so I stop doubting myself.

I like the Unjury Protein Shakes. Several flavors to choose from.

I just had the chocolate splendor. Not bad really. I had ordered the sample pack and wasn't a big fan of the chicken flavor so I was a little worried about trying it. I may just have to order more of the chocolate!

      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... :(
