Looking for preop friends :)



Recommended Posts

Yes! It can't come soon enough, I'm excited, nervous, scared.. soo many emotions. I got my approval and cried throughout the day, I knew I would cry if I was denied, never expected to cry for an approval. Do you have a 2 week pre op liquid diet?

@@RKS1983WI I can totally relate! I have a mix of emotions ever since getting my surgery date. I was one of the very fortunate ones that didn't have a diet to follow for an extended period of time. So I had my informational session, consult with the surgeon and got my surgery date and all other appointment dates in the matter of 4 days. I didn't know what to expect, but I certainly didn't expect that! So since then I have been predominently excited but I do randomly burst into tears over concerns, or over the idea of just how different things will be. Overall though I am sooo excited and can hardly wait. I don't have a w week preop diet, but I do need to lose another 10-15lbs before surgery so I am basically sticking to a liquid diet for the most part. My surgeon only requires a 3 day preop diet, but I figured I would do it for a week.

Yayy!! :) I have been following a very low carb diet and I will say I was not at all prepared for how grumpy this would make me. I don't know if it's tge lower carbs, hormone changes or what but I do know I have 0 patience and want to smack people a majority of my days.. LOL

That should definitely help having fish etc. Being 3 wks. Good luck! I have found my ninja blender to be my best friend with the shakes, I feel more satisfied with them blended with ice, like I'm getting something a bit more substantial lol, I'm hoping that helps on my all liquid!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
