My surgery is Jan 8. I start my pre op diet on the 1st and have not had great communication with my doctor because he is German. He says full liquid diet meaning anything I can drink from a cup. I'm so nervous for the diet and surgery....but I'm super ready to get it started!

I start tomorrow too. Can't wait!

That sucks that they don't have it written down for you. My surgeon has books that they hand out that tells you everything from pre op to post op. I'm so glad of that or I would be calling my nut every 5 minutes.

Thanks! I'm glad I have a surgery buddy! It's nice to compare stories! What's your diet like? Mines not to bad I still get food. I'm so glad it's not straight shakes.

Cool beans! We can do this!

My 2 weeks consist of 2 shakes/2meals! I tried just shakes on yesterday, DAY ONE, and felt terrible. So decided to stick with the diet my dr recommended and feeling such much better on DAY TWO.

How are you fairing

It's rough not eating what you want. I'm not hungry but my head says I am. But I'm not giving up! It's going to be rough but I'm in this for the long haul! I'm ready to be healthy again! :) happy new year too us!!

Day22 of 4 week liquid diet :-/ Surprisingly I have managed a loss of 17 pounds. Got 6 pounds left to lose in the next 7 days. The diet wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't during the holidays.

      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.
