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.

      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.
