On day 5 of my 10 day liquid diet, not starving, not agitated or overwhelmed just excited its getting closer. My Dr allows us pre surgery to add soy milk, almond milk {unsweetened} to our protien drinks, it makes them so tasty. If you are having a problem ask about that. Try mixing Protein flavors I did choc/banana yesterday and strawberry/choc.

I was just given my surgery date...September 19th. I have a week long liquid diet which starts Thursday. Having it done by Dr. Hohen in Lenexa' date=' KS.

I've be considering this for quite a while and talked to a couple of different doctors. It took a month to get an appointment with Dr. Hohen, so I expected it to take another month or so to get surgery scheduled...Nope! He had an opening 10 days later.

I'm also the 19th and I'm freaking out about what to have the 7 days prior. I feel like I'm going to get depressed from not having food.

Hello! My surgery is Thursday I am excited and very calm about it. I have been meditating and doing positive affirmations that's my practice. I am new to this forum but I love the idea of having support!

On my way to the hospital! ...oh wait. Hubs forgot his cell phone. On the way back home!

Hopefully I'll make it on time! Feeling anxious, nervous and HUNGRY! Usually I would be stuffing my face with sweets when feeling this abnormal. No more!

Yeah...I hadn't looked into what types of Protein Drinks to buy as I wasn't expecting to get scheduled so soon. Last night, I read the reviews of Protein drinks and ordered some necter off Amazon which will be here Thursday morning.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
