I just got my date today, i'm scheduled for September 21 :D I have been on a three month supervised diet and lost about 9 pounds. I start my liquid diet 9/7. I'm so excited but I am also so nervous!

I'm on my 2 week low carb diet. I don't have to do a liquid diet before the surgery. But I've already lost 7lbs and my blood pressure is down. Cannot wait until Sept 3!

Day 3 of my pre-op diet. Not too bad. I have a dull headache, but I'm guessing that could be from no caffeine. Most difficult for me is downing all of the Vitamins my doctor requires. Can't imagine how I'll get them down post-op, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there. Right now I am focused, motivated and excited! Following this thread has been a big help in keeping me there! We Will Do This!

My surgery is set for September 8, and my doctor said just a 5 day liquid diet is all he needs. And he doesn't require the clear liquid either. Interesting how each surgeon requires different diets.

true because my dr doesn't require me to do a pre op liquid or any kind of diet only after surgery

Just wanted to check in again. All us September sleepers are getting super close. It's been a long journey and in so excited to just have it done. I'm thankful for the conversations we all have on here as I don't have much support at home. Well let's stay excited! September 23rd 3 days after my birthday and my greatest present to myself by far!!!!

A great gift for sure!!! If you aren't already in our FB group I highly recommend it! We have a great group of about 40 people now! But we are right here too!

How do you join the Facebook page and is it private. Thanks

Hello all

Well September is now knocking at our door. With all the appointments, phone calls and nail biting waiting for insurance approval it seemed to take forever to get here. Good luck to all of us.

I was called today with a surgery date of September 21st - very excited! My insurance is AvMed, I was surprised it only took 2 weeks to get approved.

Tomorrow is the big day! I was stressed about the Milk of Magnesia dose, but I got the cherry flavor, and it wasn't that bad. OTOH, I was driving back from errands when it kicked in. I was like, "Please let there be no traffic! Please no traffic!" and barely made it home in time!

Tomorrow is my surgery date as well. Need to be at the hospital at 6:30 am. It's been a long journey to get to this point and I am looking forward to getting past the surgery. I am down 15 pounds the past two weeks due to the pre-op diet (two Protein Shakes and salad with grilled chicken).

      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! 😞
