Hi ladies and welcome in the club :)

I am on the liquid for the last 14 days already and after the first 3 days it has become just routine. I did it before and really don't mind. Mind over matter, right and with such a goal ahead of us it really makes it easy.

What I struggle with is getting closer to the surgery date but only because I had some trouble with the anesthetic in my last surgeries. But hey we never know ;).

So keep your eyes on the ball and all will be fine.

I'm on the liquid diet and I can have 1 to 2 cups veggies with lunch and dinner. So I guess it just depends on the doctor. Mine no sf Jello or v8 not even popsicles. Then 3 days before surgery only the shakes.< /p>

My doctor just has me on a 1000 calorie diet. He said since I did so well over the three months I can eat, but no more than a 1000. I started yesterday. Today I was really tired. I do not know why, but I was not hungry. I did drink Unjury Protein Shake today. They are good. I think this is going to help me until my date Sept 11.

Regarding the pre-op diet and veggies-- I went to pre-op class this past week and while 1 cup of vegetables (no starchy ones) is allowed for the majority of it, the doctors are now saying NO vegetables 48 hours prior to surgery or they will cancel it. Apparently a patient did not follow it, ate corn and has experienced lots of ongoing complications. They are adamant that we be compliant or risk surgery being stopped.

Surgery is supposed to be September 3. I had a shock when I went for my pre-op on Friday and discovered that the office staff had the day off (which is strange because I was told to come in by noon that day.) Living in limbo now but still doing pre-op diet. Tomorrow I go to Clear Liquids. I will get this all straightened out on Tuesday.

      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! 😞
