I noticed quite a few members on here having their surgery on the 1st July! Would be nice if we could all stick together and help each other out throughout this 2 week diet! I started mine today! :)

I started the pre op diet today. It wasn't too bad except for major headache. I had my EAS Protein Shakes, Jello, Water, and beef broth.

Although at yesterday's pre-op testing, I learned I had only a one day pre-op diet of Clear liquids, I do not feel comfortable with a 58 year old liver (that has got to be fat) so I started my own liquid program today. I have had Water and chicken broth, will have a Protein shake for lunch. I do have a raging headache though.

Hubby is going through most of it with me, as a sign of support for me. Not to mention, he could use losing a few pounds. I am not asking him to give up his coffee though. I appreciate that he's being so supportive.

Good luck today!

Susan

Susan good luck with your surgery. I think it is good your r going to try to shrink your liver, but u need more Protein Shakes than u are doing . Mine is 6 a day ( using advantage edge , 17 gr protien, no sugar) also sugar free popsicles and jello.. My dr requires 2 weeks of this. Just thought it might help your symptoms to add more. Good luck!

The nutritionist gave me a Protein goal of 62 grams. I had 21 gr. for lunch. Will have a shake later for 25 gr. and then dinner ... oops, if I'm not careful, I'll be over on carbs in a minute. (I ended up with powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup for 100 cal. and 21 carbs.)

Well day 3 for me is here! I feel a bit better today after I had a bit of a mental break down last night! But still haven't cheated! I am also allowed to have the Optifast chocolate mousse desert which I found a great love for last night! Really took the urge off having to need something sweet! Energy levels are a bit low, but I am just taking each day as it comes!

The only Protein Shakes I can tolerate are Syntrax Nectar so I'm all set sweet-tooth wise. I'm just plain old hungry! Drinking plenty of Water, so that's good. Onward and upward!

My surgery is scheduled for 7/1 also. Luckily I only have a week pre op, so I start next week.

Almost done with day three. I feel hungry and a bit discouraged. Hoping tomorrow or the next day will be better.

I'm a July 1st sleever also. Day 3 was better than day 2, had bad withdrawals yesterday. Just taking it one day at a time is all we can do.

Day 4 of of 2weeks pre op liquid diet. It seems like each day gets a little better. Made a Protein Shake using my EAS shakes this morning which was a little more filling than just drinking them straight. July 1st hurry up!!!

I did the same this afternoon using almond milk and put the probiotic along with liquid Vitamin in my shake. And July 1st needs to hurry up!!

      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... :(
