Anyone have just a 2 day pre-op liquid diet



Recommended Posts

I have a choice of the 2 week Optifast or 3 day pre-op liquid, but most people choose the liquid, as I am.

Depemds a lot on dr. And previous weightloss. My last solid meal was Breakfast the day prior to surgery then clear fluids until midnight that night. The week before I was on south beach phase one.

But at the beginning of my journey and before scheduling any tests they wants to see my commitment to losing 5%. I did that.

Hw 277

Sw 256

CW 5 days post opt about 250 (surgery 1/19)

Good luck!

My suregon said if you have a good suregon, it's not necessary to do weeks worth of liquid dieting before the surgery to shrink your liver. The skill is what is necessary.

Well, a good surgeon still has to work around the liver and having a smaller liver is always going to make things easier, quicker and ultimately better results for quick recovery. I've been diagnosed with fatty liver in the past, so whether my surgeon requires it or not, I probably will.

      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... :(
