I keep hearing everyone talk about the pre op diet. My dietician that works directly with my surgeon told me I didn't have to do it because my bmi wasnt past the range where thdy make u do it. Plus they said that after all of the pre op testing that I had that my liver looked really good not REAL fatty. My question is has anyone had the surgery without the pre op diet? Oh there is an exercise regiment thst I've had to adhere to for 2 weeks pre surgery. By the way I'm 5'7" and 285 lbs

The nervousness is completely normal reaction especially since its a surgery that your waiting on and are anxious about. I haven't had any surgeries except for 2 c-sections and I don't feel like those are surgeries because I wasn't actually put to sleep then. I did have a couple surgeries on my lungs because of bilateral pneumonia but I was never awake before them to get nervous. I got so nervous the morning of my rny that I second guessed myself and said to my mom omg what am I doing and then said to her should I really do this! And boy am I glad I did I feel so much better about myself and pyschically my body feels so much better even with just almost 50 pounds gone!!! I wish you all the best and can't to see you guys progress pics in the future!!!

Yeah i still have some discomfort but they tell me the more i move around the better. Also i dont let the pain meds wear off so that i can keep moving. I take 1/2 of a Vicodin and it does the job. Thanks for your support

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
