My surgery is on April 4th and I am on day 3 of my pre-op diet. I am not feeling nervous yet, but I go in for my pre-op testing at the hospital this Friday and I think that is when all the pre-surgery nerves will set in. Congratulations on your new journey!

April 9th is my day too! I am a band to sleeve conversion and I am very much looking forward to it. Call me crazy, but I am excited to start my pre-op "Liver Shrinking Diet". I'll start on 4/2. My diet is a liquids only, but is not difficult for me when I'm in this mindset. I follow the rules when it comes to surgery because I want everything to go as smoothly as possible (as much as I can help it). Plus, the pre-surgery weight loss is pretty great too. ;)

Good luck everyone!

I'm another April 9th sleeve buddy! I have a 10 day pre-op diet that is 3-4 shakes a day plus a small meal of Protein and veggies. Everything has to stay under 870 cals for the day.

I've been taste testing caffeine free teas because warm liquids seem to keep me fuller longer. I also have a spreadsheet worked out to keep track of my calories and plan out my meals. I'm very much looking forward to my pre-planned dill pickle each day at 4:30 LOL!

My surgery is April 7th and I have the same emotions. Mostly I'm excited but when the actual day is here I think I'm gonna be a mess! Lol! I am on my 5th day of my 2 week liquid diet. Is not been as terrible as I thought it would be besides the diarhea. As far as hunger goes, you stay full if you drink lots of Water and broth. In the end it will all pay off. Good luck on your new adventure!

      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.

      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! 😞
