Recommended Posts

You are warriors remember that! I am one week out til surgery and I am getting nervous and scared as I am very high risk...BMI is 79 a couple of weeks ago after losing 75 lbs. I hate this 2 week liquid diet too, but I keep telling myself this is how it has to be to reach my goal to live a happier healthy life. Just think about your health, shopping, quality of life, being more active without hurting and that will get you thru I promise. Wishing you and everyone else the best.

Today is day 8 of my liquid diet. My surgeon requires 14 days of an entirely liquid diet, but I allowed myself cooked veggies on days 4 and 5. So, I guess I technically cheated. I am doing good now, though. I have my pre-op apt in 2 days, hoping to see a good amount of weight lost so far! I have been avoiding the scale so that I won't be obsessive. How's everyone else doing? Any other "cheaters"? haha

To bjcarver,

I haven't cheated but it seems like my pre surgery diet is different. I have 3 to 4 Protein Shakes a day, then a Lean Cusine meal or that type 350 calories or less.

Today, the day before my surgery, I am really packing in the liquid. Then for dinner I am going to have a big fluffy salad with lots of green, cooked ground turkey and ricotta cheese. Some lite ranch or cesar dressing or lemon pepper sprinkle and I should be good.

Nothing after midnight, but I should be in bed by 9 or 10. So that will be my last of anything which will probably be lemon Water or perhaps some Jello.

I'm ready for tomorrow.

      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! 😞
