Pre-op diet starts tomorrow.

I'm so incredibly nervous. It's a fairly tame diet: 5 days of Clear Liquids, followed by surgery on the 14th. But it's still 5 days with no food and I am just..... I think I'm ready. I'm definately ready for my relationship with food to change. I can only speculate how hard this will all be.

Lucky!!! I have to do 15 days of liquid diet... I am on day 4. It is not too bad. I miss chewing, I use gum to help with that. I also eat sugar free Jello as a sweet break to the Protein shakes.

I'm on day 2 of liquid diet. Yesterday was horrible. But today hasn't been too bad. Biggest problem has been the gas; I guess because of the milk; not used to drinking milk....hanging in there until surgery on 3/22 :)

My Dr said Popsicles (Sugar Free) count as clear liquid. I found that biting them and kinda chewing them helped my chewing craving. Same thing with sugar free Jello

      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.

      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! 😞
