October Surgery Dates



Recommended Posts

I havent at in almot 2 wks and my sirgery is tuesday and my fam is eating pizza and i really eant a slice since i can never have it again anyway just not sure if i should

Who said you can never have pizza again? You might not can have much of it. Do you eat pizza for the crust or more for the meat and cheese? If for the meat and cheese, here's an alternative. Take a tortilla and top it with pizza sauce and then whatever toppings you like bake in the toaster oven. Or it can be a pizza quesadilla if you cook it in a pan and fold it over.

It will not hurt if you have pizza! I'm 4 days post-op and I ate what I wanted to on the pre-op diet and I was fine. I know that I shouldn't have but the truth is that I did.

Ok so I know its hard and I just thought I would post why most have a liquid diet prior to surgery. It is to shrink our liver and reduce the fat around it. During surgery the doc has to use a tool to retract our liver. And with it smaller and less fat makes it more pliable to move because it can tear. It makes the surgery safer and faster!! So whenever the urge hits you to cheat just remember this comment for encouragment to get past it.

I am feeling awesome! The pain to me is like I did too many situps. Just sore muscles. I have walked a lot and I ate Breakfast and lunch good. (stage 2 foods- cream of wheat and lunch was cream of chicken with no chunks) I Drink nonstop and always have ice chips. I can not believe how dry my mouth is!! I am home tonight. Dr. Came in this morning and said he couldn't have asked for a better surgery.. So he said I could go home whenever I felt like it. I waited a few hours to make sure I was really ready! I feel good at home too. Just taking it slow so I don't over do it.

      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... :(
