Just had my pre op with my surgeon. Usual questions and instructions.

I did ask him about the pre op diet and he said the ONLY purpose is to shrink the liver. He said "big boys" and some ladies get really fatty livers and it makes the surgery more difficult. He said the diet can shrink the liver up to 50-75%.

He said he didn't expect me (I am lower bmi) to have that problem, so that's good.

He also advised that I continue all meds after surgery (high bp, thyroid, asthma) just one at a time...no gulping!

I also got my surgery time for the 25th...7:30 am! I will be his first case, so am happy about that.

I start pre op diet tomorrow and have PAT next Monday. It's all happening very quickly now!

Good luck to folks for this week!!!

Where have you found sugar free fudge sicles?? I have found 'no sugar added' but no sugar free... Would love some chocolate!!!

It is funny how every Dr has a different formula for success(LOL)-- mine is pretty rigid but I'm trying to follow it as best I can. So far just have some trouble getting all fluids in for day (min 60 oz).

I got my sugar free fudge sickles and pop sickles at Aldi's!!! Cheap and good!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
