Mine is all liquid but I can have a couple servings of fruit and non starchy vegetables a day. It's going to be so hard, but I am ready to get started.

I'm in Westchester ny. Not too far. I wasn't given a liquid diet or Vitamin regime pre op - other than Multivitamin and Vitamin D. Have preop appt w surgeon at start of May. Not sure if I'll hear something different then.

I have gained weight since my initial appt. I'm nervous but mostly it seems surreal.

How are you?

I'm may 6th. My team meeting is apr 17 do I guess I'll find out then what the pre-op diet will be. For now I am pretty good during the week - Protein Shake for dinner, healthy choice Soup for lunch, then normal dinner. I tend to fall off the wagon on the weekend though. Beer and wings on Saturday was not part of the plan! I've lost 13 or so in the last few months.

Hi !! Same here- I go from nervous to excited every five minutes or so. I was only told to follow a liquid diet 24 hours prior to surgery (nothing after 11pm) but that is it ...I am going to quit coffee right after my band removal and then try to stick to a liquid diet at least for a few days before the sleeve.

My surgery is scheduled for May 23rd, and I. Am both super excited and really nervous. From reading all the posts here, I know this is normal but so many emotions. This may be the hardest part.

I am having my sleeve surgery done on May 1st! I think it would be very helpful and reassuring to talk with others getting their surgery done in May.

      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! 😞
