Just had my last meal for awhile. Starting my two weak diet in the morning.

I only had to do a 7 day liquid diet. I am on day 5 of mine and it's been hard. My surgery is Wednesday. Good luck you can do it.

Good luck! I started mine 4 days ago. First day was a little hard. It does get easier, and in 4 days I have lost 7lbs!

Im on day 12 of my 2wk pre-op diet. It got a lil easier as I went. Except for having to drink 2 8oz shakes made with Water. Tried all sorts of ways to make it better. Even unflavored protien. Just cant do them anymore. My nut said i could do 3 nonfat milk & 1 water or mix the water in with something water based (I've mixed it in my oatmeal. Also added a 1/2 scoop extra to the milk shakes). Im getting real anxious now. My surgery is on Thurs 12th. I cant believe its almost time!

I guess I'm fortunate to be able to use skim milk with my Protein. Day one wasn't that hard, although I did I dream about eating a cheeseburger last night????. My wife is trying to do the pre-op with me. So that helps a bit. The kids are tough. It's hard not to hover over their food and eat what they don't. Guess that's what I usually do. Didn't notice it till last night. 13 more days to go.

Bummer news today. My surgeon is in the hospital... the office is checking to see if the Insurance will work with the other surgeon to perform the surgery. One week of no food possible down the drain :angry:

      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.
