Thank you! I was incredibly tired the first two days home. My only "issue" was taking too big of a drink and it being uncomfortable for a few seconds. But now I don't have that.

Who all is on their liquid diet? I started mine Monday' date=' I could have waited till today to start it, but my son is gone to camp till tomorrow, so I thought it would be easier to start it when he wasnt home and I wasnt having to cook for him. It has worked out great. I was told if you can make it thru day3 or 4, you were good. So far, so good! I can only have Clear Liquids, broth, tea or coffee with sugar free sweetener, SF popsicles, SF Jello and 1-3 Protein Drinks (EAS AdvantEDGE brand only). Then on the day before, I can only have clear liquids and have to do a colon cleanse.. :blink: Fun day that will be....lol[/quote']

I'm on my 10th day and its still difficult but I'm down 10lbs so that's a good thing. I get sleeved on Monday. Can't wait to get it over with!

Getting closer. I go in for my pre op with the drug nurse today, then surgery tomorrow. It's kinda weird I don't feel excited or nervous. I'm in a nice state of calmness right now.

Hello everyone im new on here my surgery date is set for july 22 . Pretty nervous and excited at the same time. Anyone having problems with family support? My mom is not so happy bout me having surgery my sister also . The only real support i have is my husband would love to hear from anyone thanks for your time

Corina, I am the opposite...my mom and sis are all for it but my bf (who suffers from severe anxiety) doesnt want me to and he is always theeatening that he is going to call the hospital and tell them I am not following their rules or that I am taking steroids so they will stop the surgery. Lol I just laugh him off and say GLAD there ate HIPPA laws! The hospital cannot even tell you I am a patient there!

I ordered the unjury unflavored and plan to make it into jello! I don't know how it will taste, but I'm hopeful!

      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! 😞
