I had my gallbladder out years ago thankfully. Any other dates for June 9? I have pre op June 2. I was not told about a preop diet at all. I do are a Protein Shake every day for my lunch. I was traveling last week and drove through the night. I had 2 lg Dunkin Dounuts iced coffee with espresso... Mind you I don't drink coffee regularly. Have an iced coffee from home and I was afraid of giving it up . After all that coffee and driving... No taste for it now. I was at a Traders Joes and they had Water with get this... Cucumber and parsley... I never had parsley in m drink.. And it was REFRESHING .

More scared of not eating foods. Love my water!a d I'm down Four pounds... Wahoo!

There are a lot of June 9th dates :)

Hi everyone! I am new here and have been reading as much as I can about this procedure I am about to undertake! It is scary and exciting all at once! My surgery date is scheduled for June 4th and it can't come fast enough! I officially start my liquid diet on Wednesday, but I am trying to get a jump start today! It will consist of 2 shakes and a sensible meal. Today I cheated and ate some celery! I was 249 at my first consult appointment and I have gained about 7 pounds due to quitting smoking! I feel guilty, but my nutritionist said it was fine. But I beat myself up over it!, But I am still not smoking!

Good luck to everyone !

i'm having such a hard time motivating myself. When I went in for surgery on March 17th, I did great on the 2 week liver diet and I was excited about the surgery.

Now i start my 2 week liver diet again this Wednesday (two more days) and I' worried about it and i'm not excited this time. Maybe in the back of my mind I'm just thinking that something will go wrong and It won't happen again. ugh

Congrats on the not smoking!!! That is fabulous and will make a huge difference in your health :D I had a really high A1C and have 2 1/2 weeks to get it down alittle and I have gained about 4 pounds. I guess the high blood sugars were burning through the calories lol. So ready for this surgery and to kiss the diabetes good bye!!

      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... :(
