Hey everyone! I have been snooping on the forum for a while, but have never posted. My date is set for March 19th as well. I start the preop diet tomorrow. I'm excited & nervous. I don't have much support for this decision, so that is scary. Good luck everyone!

I'll support you and so will everyone else on this forum. My surgery is March 19th too... I an anxious terrified and excited.

I only have to do 1 wk of pre op dieting, starting 3/12. Surgery is the 19th & my pre op diet is all liquids. My Dr prescribed 6 packets of no sugar added Carnation Instant Breakfast with 8 oz skim or 1% milk, plus fat free broths, sugar free Jello, Water with sugar free add ins (i.e. crystal light). Post surgery, Im stocked with Unjury whey Protein Powder - chocolate, vanilla, chicken broth, & cheese sauce. It's the best tasting Protein powder Ive ever tasted!! Gettin SOOOOO excited!!!

Had preop visit today at Drs. office and hospital. I really wasn't nervous like I thought I would be. My surgery is this Thursday, March 14. Hope I'm as calm as I was today. Start my clear fluids in the morning, for two days. Can't believe it's finally happening. Keep me in your prayers.

I'm going in tomorrow! They first called to tell me to be there at 10 am then they called to ask if I wouldn't mind rescheduling for Wednesday. I said heck no! I had already taken the magnesium citrate! Then they call to say to be there at 7:50 am. Not happy about all the calling especially on the day before surgery. Find it very unprofessional. Just praying the surgeon does her thing and doesn't mess up. Nonetheless, excited despite the bumps on this journey :)

This sort of thing always gets to me. I totally agree it is unprofessional and creates unnecessary doubt.

Good luck tomorrow! Please let us know how things went as soon as you are able????

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
