I was supposed to start on July 19, the liquid diet since my surgery is on August 4th and I officially started on July 22nd. I definitely cheated, but this is how I did it. I have my Protein Drink (liquid) then I craved Pasta so I only have one small bowl of pasta, then the following day I had once again my liquid beverage and sadly my mom ordered pizza and yes I had two slices! I'm terrible every bite I kept saying my doctors name aloud and apologizing! I have no officially cut the crap and been on pure liquids. If anyone is having trouble I would totally recommend seeing your nutritionist and asking them to prescribe Diethylproprion to help suppress your appetite. I finally got back on it and let me tell you its a lot easier for me to follow the liquid diet because of it. The only reason I cheated was because of that, because I ran out and the nutritionist gave me just enough until surgery because of course I won't need it after that. I hope a week and 5 days of liquids are okay. =( lol

As someone stated earlier, it is shocking to me how inconsistent this all is. I met with my doctor on July 18th and had my surgery on the 23rd. I asked him about a pre-surgery diet and he told me not to worry about it. I have been eating soft foods for a few months, but he said as long as I didn't fill up my colon with stuff he was fine with it.

My surgery was out of town so my wife and I went out to eat the night before, I had fish, mashed potatoes and steamed veggies.

I just wish there was an industry standard, would make this a lot easier.

I am on day 2 and I keep getting this heartburn and indigestion. I am eating yogurt and Protein Shakes and broth as part of my diet. I don't know what could be causing it.

Thank you; however, I am not on any medications right now so I am afraid to start any at this point. I was hoping for non- pharmaceutical remedies

Try Tums or Rolaid or call your dietician or doctor's office to see what they say.

I'll be honest. I cheated on my pre-op liquid phase. I can remember making a Target run and passed a McDonald's. I "wanted" a Fish Filet, fries, and a triple cheeseburger. I ate it, regretted it, questioned my frame of mind and thought to myself WTF are you doing? I think at the time I was feeling a "OMG I need to eat this or that because I will never get to have it again". Which now I know isn't true. I just choose not to eat these things.

For me the pre-op liquid phase was the hardest part. Stick with it. It's a small step to a much larger goal.

I'm on day 6 of the pre-op diet and so far I haven't cheated. On day three I really really wanted to; was hungry, grumpy and had a bad headache. I'm really determined not to cheat even though it probably wouldn't hurt anything. And I've lost almost 11 pounds so that's enough to make me want stick to it. It really hasn't been that bad.

Started my pre-op today. Have a couple Protein shakes on the menu today, along with some broth, sugar free Jello, and stopping to get egg drop Soup on the way home since I am allowed (and love that stuff). I got all my Vitamins in this morning and am just now starting to feel a little hunger so I may go ahead and heat up my broth. I have to keep telling myself I can do this, I can do this...

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
