I'm so excited! My surgery is scheduled for Dec. 9th but I'm supposed to start my 14 day liquid diet on Thanksgiving. :(

Anyone else starting that day?

No, I'm starting the Monday after, for surgery on Dec 14. You can do this! Sip your Protein Shake (or whatever your pre op plan is) and enjoy the company of your loved ones! Thankful for our new, healthy lives!!

LOL! Rough is right but I will be with my family so I guess I can sip my shake while they eat. Can I spike my shake? :)

I'd say yes but I am sure your surgeon would say otherwise

Had my pre op appt. on Nov. 25th and my Dr. said I could start my liquid diet today. So yay, I had thanksgiving yesterday. Today and until my surgery it's liquids only. Going to be hard but so worth it in the end. Shits about to get real!

I start pre op Monday. Sadly, I did have some food funerals yesterday and today. But, looking forward to tackling my new life very soon!!

Mine is December 9th too. I've tried to avoid food funerals (food is my abusive but persuasive ex!) but it's been tough. My surgeon said a full liquid diet isn't necessary, but is a good chance to find liquid Protein that I like, and gets me into appropriate habits. I've been allowing myself one small meal a day. We don't have family locally so yesterday wasn't too tough, just a nice turkey dinner!

Hi Kym! No my doctor only has us do 3 days preop 2 shakes and a healthy meal. Are you nervous? I read these posts like everyday just trying to see what to expect. I would love to go thru this journey with you!!

      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! 😞
