I'm on the 3rd day of my 2-week pre-op liquid diet (4 shakes per day with 1 low carb yogurt, broth, SF Jello and ice pops). The first 2 nights I felt very woozy and dizzy, almost sick, and broke out in a cold sweat. I had a jello and ice pop and felt a little better before falling asleep. I'd do anything for a spoonful of peanut butter! Anyone else have a reaction like this? It's gonna be a rough next 12 days.

I'm on day 4. 3 shakes + Jello + SF popsicles….I had a headache off and on until today and I was very hungry, but today not so much. I'm not sure if it is my body adjusting or what. I hope it gets easier for you too!

Darn! Looks like I will be moving to late September or early October. I messed up on my monthly doctor weigh in appointments. Good luck to you all. Looks like I will be a few steps behind. At least I have more time to break some more bad habits and make positive lifestyle changes.

Are you talking about for insurance purposes or after you were already approved for surgery?

For insurance purposes. I have to do one more additional appointment with my primary care on September 5. So I will probably have to push surgery into the first week of October because of my kids school schedule.

I'm on day 5 of my two week pre-op diet. This diet is not as bad as I thought. I try to stay out of my kitchen add much as possible. There's too many temptation laying around. My teenage daughter asked me to make her dinner tonight and I flat out refused. Little momma had to make her own food or starve tonight. The choice was hers. My hat goes off to the people that cook dinner during their week diet. I don't know how you do it.

By the way, my baby girl made dinner for herself and her sister.

I am August 19th. So far I am anxious and excited. I am a little nervous about the liquid diet that comes two weeks prior to the surgery! How are you guys all holding up?

      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! 😞
