My surgery date is on July 11. I am nervous and excited at the same time. I am now doing the Protein liquid diet (today being my first day). Hoping to drop some lbs in the next couple weeks before my scheduled surgery.

Good luck, Jennifer. I'm in the middle of my pre-op diet, surgery on the 2nd. It's not easy, but we can do this!

I start my pre-surgery liquid diet in the 8th of July, so I did a test drive of the Protein shakes I purchased and of those I like I have plenty on board and ready.

This is such a great prep time for you. I can't even imagine NOT doing this pre op diet! You will be AMAZED but the weight that comes off when you go into surgery and get weighed!

I was discouraged the first week, with only losing 3 pounds. I was elated day of surgery when the scale showed I had dropped another 10 pounds!!total of 13 pounds!! it felt soooo good and promising to know I was on the right track! Don't weigh yourself in the hospital. I had gained 11 pounds. They told me that was normal from the i.v.s and healing process. I weighed my self tonight, Post op 5 days and I've released/lost 4 of the 11 gained. So I'm not worried.

Be strong and aske them for WHATEVER you may need! Best wishes.

      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! 😞
