The pre-op diet does completely bite! The good thing was I lost 10 lbs while doing it. It just puts us that much closer to our goal and everytime you drink the broth remind yourself how FINE you are going to be in the following months!!

Yes. I am 4 days post op and I found that buying Soup and drinking the broth from it taste better than just buying broth. I can not wait to get some mashed potatoes with cheese. Lol

The liquid diet was the hardest part for me. It was like fighting a war without weapons. I couldn't wait to be issued my VSG m16!

I survived on the little seasoning packets from the ramen packages dissolved in hot Water. Just threw the noodles away! If I can manage, ANYONE can!!! You got this! ????

Just finished day 2 of pre-op liquid diet.As of this morning I was down 2.4 lbs. Not bad for 1 day! I am not finding it that difficult because I have been trying to keep myself busy as possible during the day. The only time of day when I find it hard is when I am cooking for my family and cant even taste with I am making (am a damn good cook too lolol) Just keep reminding myself that my life has already changed and will never be the same...!! Got kinda sick of the constant food funerals!! gained 7lbs just during the few weeks doing preop testing.. Good luck to everyone!!

Is the post op liquid diet usually 3 weeks. I keep telling myself that my doctor will advance my diet Monday when I go for my 1 week checkup. Trying to make it through.

This is my first time typing on here. So I hope it shows up in the right place. I had surgery on Monday, 22nd. I think we are on the exact schedule! I don't know an answer to your question. I just got excited to find a person who had surgery on my same day!!

      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.
