Hi everybody just discovered this app and I m not sure how to use it properly but so far really happy to hear about ppl preparing for their surgery. My date is the 7th of January and it will be in Boedeaux France. I know I didn't see many people outside of the US on the site and I can only see that the process is not really the same. For ex I am not supposed to do any pre op diet, and although it might seem great as I can "enjoy" Christmas meals with my family, I feel really strange about not doing anything to prep for the surgery. According to my surgeon studies didn't show any significant difference in results of the surgery and that' s why he doesn't prescribe it. Anybody got the same feedback from the surgeon? Btw nice to meet you all and looking forward to support you and be supported in this journey!!!'

Hi! It's interesting how much variation there is in the pre-op diet. I went through a number of abdominal surgeries in the past few years (not all bariatric-related) but the rationale for the liquid diet, as explained to me, is to shrink the liver and make the area easier to work in for the surgeon. Particularly as many of us have "fatty" livers, apparently the healthier liver also does better through the recovery process. It's not just about numbers for outcomes but viability.

At least that's the prevailing philosophy (for now) amongst surgeons I have seen. Interesting to hear a myriad of experiences! Personally, it makes me less nervous so thank you for sharing!

My date is January 9th and I'm so nervous and excited at the same time! My surgery is at LCMH in Evergreen Park IL with Dr. Cahill. I'm feeling a little disconnected especially with my date getting so close. I'm not sure if I should be meeting with them to set up goals, detailed nutrition plans, etc. I don't even know what time my surgery is taking place!! Am I jumping the gun or am I way behind on things??

I'm not sure how all of that goes. I'm going to Mexico so it's a totally different for me.

I am scheduled for jan 7th. Only a 24 hour clear liq diet. The hosp will call me for pre op and I have no guidance for after I assume they go over it in hosp. I have stocked up in Jello pudding home made apple sauce Meal Replacement and Protein Shakes. And a few others. Assuming that after I will be in liquids.

I have been submitted to insurance and I am told my date is in January, but no exact date yet. The doctor is supposed to call me for preop. They say I will know after January 3! I am so impatient. Is tomorrow January 3? LOL.

      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...

      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
