I called my surgeons. Office. They weren't too happy. Told me to get back on track right away. Said that the surgeon requires the 2 week post-op diet in lieu of the "bowel prep" before surgery which consists of drinking a bottle of magnesium citrate and pooping your brains out for a day. Idk.... I think I'd like to have a "last meal" and go through the poop-a-thon for a day, rather than starve myself and be pooping my guts out anyway on all these liquids...... Anyone post-op that cheated on their pre-op diet out there???

Never had a pre-op diet, it's not that necessary, post op you will be forced not to eat

At the end of my first week, I caved with a slice of pizza, and I felt so guilty. On the morning of surgery, I was disappointed to find out that I had only lost 11 pounds on that torturous diet, so of course I blamed the pizza. Get back on, you'll feel a lot better if you stick to it.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that has done that! I think I've lost 10 lbs but I don't think the Surgeons office will be able to tell since I gained a bunch after the preliminary weigh in at the consultation. Sigh..... Oh well. I think I need to find a support group to go to...... Thank you to all of you for your responses and support!

      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! 😞
