Awesome! Can u tell me a few things?

How long were u in hospital? What was the pre op diet he put you on? What weight were u to start?

Hey- did you get a surgery date?

I was in the hospital for one night. I was schedule for 8am had to get there at 6:30am. Surgery took one hour then I was in the recovery room for 1 and a half hours then they moved me to my room at about 11 am and I was discharged the next day at 3pm.

Pre op- was just full liquids the day before and no eating or drinking after midnight the night before.

I started at 224.9 I was 201.9 day of surgery. I am 11 days post op and I weigh 193.

Wow that is amazing! So he didnt make u do a pre op 2 week liquid diet?

I ended up gaining ugh!!! Long story but had to quit exercising because of my hip. So i have another appt with him on Oct 16

No, liquid diet just for one day! Oh I am sorry to hear that. How much more do you have to lose? You can do it!!! Hope for the best

Thanks just 10 lbs to lose. Oh i wanted to ask you what is your.post op diet?

You do 2 days clear liquid diet; I did Water, broth and Jello for the first two days

Day 3-2 weeks (whenever the doctor clear you is full liquids) I did:

Protein shakes

pudding with protein

Soups

Yogurt

Jello

Water

Hoping dr li clears me to move on to soft mushy foods today. I am so bored of stage 2 diet!
