I had my surgery On Friday. I was on morphine for pain for a day and a half. Now Im taking children's liquid Tylenol and managing my pain quite well. My surgeon said my liver ws fatty but he still had room to work, Thank God! I was on Opti fast for 14 days and was allowed greens, but admittedly I did cheat with chips, gummies, chilli and one day a chicken burger with fries (I was disobedient I know). I lost about 7 LBS. Anyway i had no complications and Im feeling great. You will be surprised how full u get on such a little bit of food

Wow, I'm glad you are doing fine now. Please don't take this the wrong way, but why did you cheat on the pre- op diet? I really don't understand. If I had cheated and something went wrong, I'd endlessly beat myself up because I could have done it differently. I'm not holding myself up as perfect, but I followed my pre-op diet to the letter and the same post- op. Again, I'm really glad you are doing fine.

What was your pre-op diet? Mine was low fat, normal food, sticking to around 1000 cals a day. Didn't measure cals and may have had one or two more bowls of muesli than necessary but everything I've eaten has been low fat, zero sugar and no alcohol. I had one meal out on Friday night which didn't exactly meet the low fat requirements but still avoided chips (fries), alcohol and sugar. Thinking about doing a liquid diet (Complan/Soup etc) for the next 4 days leading up to the surgery, just to make up for any deviations on the pre-op and also to cleanse my system.

My pre-op diet was 3 Slimfast shakes (meals) and two Protein Shakes (snacks) plus broth, Water, a little juice (4-8 oz) a day. I could also have Decaf tea, sf Jello and sf popsicles. The last day before surgery I followed that diet through lunch, then had Clear liquids until 4 hours pre-op.

      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?
