Today is my 7th day on the liquid diet. I'm down 12lbs. I found the Swanson's broth (Chicken' date='Beef, Vegetable) to be really gross. I've been making Campbell's chicken Noodle Soup and straining the noodles. The first few days I was drinking 4-5 shakes a day and now I'm down to 2-3. I am not really a fan of SF Water flavorings but I found Crystal Lite Pink Lemonade to be good.[/quote']

I wish I could do Campbell's instead of broth. My NUT wouldn't let me. :(

How is everyone doing on pre-op? Today is my 7th day...it is much easier now then before. I have to work harder to get ALL the drinks down...I'm on New Direction Weight Control System packets along with sf Jello, popsicles etc. I'm so worried...I was in a situation where someone brought food for me to eat surprisingly (they, along with most everyone else doesn't know I'm having the surgery). I had a very very small bite of what they brought so it seemed that I ate. I really hope those two - three small bites don't cause my surgery to be postponed....thoughts? Think it will be ok? It was back on day 3 or 4. Other than that I think I'm doing pretty good, getting in lots of water-that seems to be key in loosing the weight...9 lbs down this week!

I'm on day 11 and when I weighed in on Tuesday, I was down 8.4 pounds (actually). I'm on a Protein diet with a shake for Breakfast and lunch, one Protein Bar and one fruit a day, and then a senisble dinner. What I was doing if I got to hungry doing the day, I would alternate my meals and have the shake for dinner instead. Good luck to you on your surgery!!!1

My surgery is December 20th as well! I'm having mine at St. Alexian Brothers in Elk Grove Village, IL. Excited and scared as hell! I'm down 16.5 pounds as of this morning. Not doing too well with the bariatric drinks - Okay, they SUCK! I hate them! Basically living off Jello, popsicles and broth. Promised my doc I'd try to get in at least two shakes a day.

Well I received a call today from my surgeons office and they have moved my surgery up to Tuesday, December 18! Very stressful because I don't like change on major things! I know it is all part of God's plan though!

@bgeb You have my thoughts and prayers and positive vibes for tomorrow! Everything will go well.

@CG75 It's never fun when they change things, but I'm sure your surgeon wouldn't have done it if he didn't think you were ready and able to handle it. ^_^

Hello all. My date is December 19th, so 5 days to go. Good luck to everyone!

      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! 😞
