Well 3 weeks from tomorrow is my surgery. Scared and yet knowing I need it,,,just hoping I can do all the right things afterwards and not feel like I rushed into this decision or that I cannot have a good life after...to many things we do are based on food, dinner outs, parties etc....big changes needed.

June 11th here in the Tulsa ok area. I'm very nervous, excited and scared. This preop diet is hard. I feel like I'm starving and I'm afraid I'm not getting enough to drink. I'd rather have nothing then the Breakfast essential packets mixed with Water and I'm burned out on broth already.

Also wanted to say good luck to everyone having surgery this week :)

Anyone else doing the 2 week preop diet feeling like they are failing? And might fail after surgery? Idk if its all in my mind or what but I just feel like if I have this much trouble staying on liquids now then maybe I will after aswell :-( plus ive been on the preop diet since last Wednesday and havent lost any weight....what the H is up with that crap? This has me worried that maybe my surgeon wont trust that ive done the diet and he will cancel. Im paranoid. They have a 10 lb weight gain rule...I havent gain 10 lbs...so I think im ok....but I havent lost anything either even though ive really tried! Feeling very discouraged.

Just keep going your doing a great job. Just remember that pre op is to shrink and reduce the fat on your liver to make surgery easier. Your surgeon will know that you have stuck to the diet because he will be able to see your liver during the op. I'm on pre op as well so I know how you feel, I've only lost 3 kgs since last Sat .

      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! 😞
