Congratulations! The only advice I have for pre-op is stay strong, keep the willpower up and remember it's only a short period of time!

Congrats!!!

Best advice...stay focused on the prize...the end results will be wonderful!! Also, the liquid and powder diet won't be as bad as you think...for the most part, you'll probably be more focused on the upcoming surgery than anything else.

Wishing you the very best success!!!

Congratulations! I'm on day 4 of the liquid diet and my advice is to get the premade ones. I can't imagine having to mix and stir right now. Keep it as simple and easy as possible because days 1 & 2 are hard but hang in there. You get this burst of energy day 3 and you'll feel better. My legs and knees have been aching and on day three I put my feet down and to my amazement, no pain!!

Also, I don't sit in my family room that's near the kitchen now. My grown daughter and her two children live with me so I have the luxury of not having to cook for a family so that helps. I come home in evenings and go to my room until they've eaten dinner and the kitchen is clean, which is until about 730. Then I come down and spend time with them and it's wonderful.

Stay strong, do whatever you have to do to make it through. We've come too far to fail now!

Best wishes to you!

      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! 😞
