Close to mine! I'm 22, my HW was 285, starting pre-op diet weight was 269, surgery day was 252, and today I'm 242.

I know a lot of people's pre-op diets are different, mine was 3 weeks prior to surgery, 2 Protein shakes as Meal Replacements and 1 real meal which could consist of 6 oz of meat with veggies. Snacks could be between an apple, orange or a pear. That diet made me loose so much before my surgery.

My surgery was 2/8 I'm 2 weeks post op and not regretting anything. This liquid diet is hard though

Best of luck tomorrow! And good luck getting liquids in afterwards. It's going to be hard but you don't wanna get dehydrated, I'm still struggling to get enough Water and Protein in. I've also gotten sick a couple times from drinking shakes too quick, even though it didn't feel quick. Just take things slow and sip all day! ????

Good luck on your surgery! We are all very similar! Im 43 and I'm 5'2", highest weight 265 lbs, pre-op 235 ish, now 186. Surgery was 10/20/15. I had the gastric bypass. Best decision ever! I have so much Energy now! Follow doctors orders! You'll do great! Have all your food ready before going into the hospital, ditch all the bad food, and sip your drinks!

Good luck on your surgery! You will do great!

I am one week post op and I am looking forward to the puree stage. I am also having issues getting my Protein in and my Vitamins. Once I put "thicker" substance in my diet, I will do much better. I ordered the unflavored protein to add to anything I can so I can get enough in. I have always had severe nausea issues with vitamins unless I actually had food in my stomach. These liquids are not cuttin it.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
