My husband and I will both be having rny surgery on November 30th. I am nervous about starting pre-op diet and afraid I will be so hungry.

My NUT told me it is hard for the first 2-3 days and then it will be easy peasy. :)

Maybe my stomach will shrink with less food. I think your right that it will get easier after first few days. My doctor wants me to start pre op diet 11/16. I think I will start 11/1 to have more adjustment time and lose more before surgery. I am 20 lbs up from when I got approved for surgery.....I need to get scale moving the other direction! When is your surgery queen?

I am also scheduled 11/30. That is awesome that you and your hubby are both doing the surgery the same day! Who us going first? Are you using the same surgeon? You both will be great support for each other!

My husband and I have the same surgeon. Not sure who will go first... They will tell us the Friday before . it is nice to be on the same pre-op diet and that we will be following same stages of diet post op. My husband is terrified though he won't admit it. He doesn't share feelings as much as I do so I have found this forum useful for Bariatric chats:)

Hi All. My surgery is Nov 12th. I've been on the 14 day pre op diet for 5 days now. The first day and a half were BAD! After that no hunger at all. I can't believe it myself. It's really not bad at all.

Starting today the new problem started...severe diarrhea...UGH!!! I'm on 2 slim fast shakes, 2 premier Protein shakes, and 3oz chicken, turkey or fish. 700-800 calls per day.

I'm going to email my nut to see what to do about this issue. ????????????

Hi there, I am on day two of the all liquid high Protein diet. My surgery date is Nov 23rd.

I think I'm suffering from caffeine withdrawals as I can't have any caffeine two weeks pre or post surgery.

Question; does frozen yogurt count as yogurt?

It could be your body with drawling from sugar caffeinated beverages carbs. Sugar is really hard to withdrawal from and you should feel better in a couple of days

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
