I plan to go back to work the day after I go home. My surgery is August 4th.

Hi All! I'm scheduled for August 6th. I agree that time seems to be crawling by. My surgeon has me starting the shakes/liquid diet a week from tomorrow. I'm tempted to pig out on all my favorite junk foods that I'll never eat again (at least not for a LOOOONG time) but I know I'd hate myself afterward. It's taken me months to lose 10 lbs and I'm sure without too much effort I could gain it back in a week! Been reading about the regret some folks feel immediately post surgery, like they've made a huge mistake by getting sleeved. Also heard from folks in a local sleeve support group to expect substantial Hair loss. Trying to stay positive and feel empowered about doing this but definitely a little scared. Can anyone relate??

I attempted it but had no desire for those foods. On day 5 of my pre op diet.

Hello,

So I've been reading a lot of the post on here and I haven't posted anything myself just because I wasn't sure if it was even going to happen but I finally got my surgery date yesterday yay!!! My surgeon is requiring me to be on a liquid diet from now until my surgery date. Does anyone know if its possible to lose 15 pounds before August 6th??

Absolutely! The pre-op diet will do it.

I wish I was already on my pre op diet! LOL! I have to do an entire week of liquids and then Clear Liquids the day before surgery. It still seems so far off but August 9th will be here before I know it.

I am ready...my preop diet is a bit different...I have a 14 day high protein/low-carb diet....I start on 7/29/15.

This sounds the same as the one I will be following-when you get started on it would you mind letting me know how you find it please? I will be starting mine on 4th August. ????

Will do????

I am watching nothing but Netflix for the next few months. I am on day three of liquid diet and these food commercials are killing me...slowly.

@miamiblue13.....I hadn't thought about the food commercials but now I notice them everywhere! I start my liquid diet 7 days before my surgery on July 30!!! Netflix is definitely going to be the way I go!!

      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! 😞
