Honestly it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. From reading other posts I feel my dr has a more strict pre op diet.. 2 weeks liquid.. 3 Protein drinks, Jello, sugar free pops, broth and one yogurt a day..

It's day 5 out if 14 and I'm feeling good.. I would kill for some Tomato Soup right now but it's all going to be worth it..

Also my surgeon didn't require any weight lost before he would schedule the surgery so I'm guessing that could be why the pre op is so strict..

Sf hot chocolate with unflavored Protein is very yummy on these chilly nights...also if you get headaches your first few days sip on some 99% fat free chicken broth, the little extra salt helps with those and it counts toward your liquid goal.

You can do it! I followed the diet and had surgery Wednesday. I am doing great and I know the program before surgery really helped my surgery and recovery.

Hang in there! You CAN do this!

My surgery is on the 19th. I started my pre-op diet on Nov 5th. The first few days were brutal. I can have broth, sf Jello, pudding, sf yogurt, fruit juice, Protein Shakes and Soup. I'm eating the boxed organic Soups. Tomato and the like. I've also gotten soup at whole foods( hot food) and trader Joes( minestrone). I cant stomach the low-fat cream soups. Those are meant for casseroles!! I've lost 9lbs so far. On Sunday( at noon), I switch to Clear Liquids until Monday at midnight. On Monday I do the bowel prep. Those 2 days of clear liquids will be hard. I love the FitFrappe Protein shakes from Big Train. They almost make me think I'm drinking a starbucks frappacino.

I did end up having a muscle milk Protein Drink at work! I really want to try the Unjury chicken broth and the unflavored so I can mix it in with juices and things like that! I'm just doing one week so hopefully all goes well! The first day haven't been too bad!

Mmm I love the strawberry muscle milk. So far muscle milk is my favorite.

Soups not allowed on mine but I can have 3 oz chicken or cod.

This morning we went out for Breakfast for perhaps my last full breakfast (I spared nothing).

      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... :(
