Anyone else scheduled for April 21st?



Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm scheduled April 20, in Tucson, AZ. My doc didn't put me on a diet prior. Confused as to why some people are and others aren't. I feel the same way as you. I'm excited but scared at the same time. I really love food but I don't like how I feel and look. I just keep telling myself I need to do this and I can do it and I'll be ok.

I am scheduled for the 20th. The reason for the diet is number 1 to prepare your mind for the liquid diet after the surgery, and number 2 the previous surgery diet helps shrink your liver so that there is less interference from your liver.

Yep I'm on the same roller coaster.... but I've come too far to back out now! As a matter of fact my surgery date came from someone's cancellation.

There really is no pain just some soreness. The hardest part is head hunger. But I remind myself it's only temporary and I also always keep the next stage in mind to look forward to. There is no real hunger. It's also a struggle with the liquid diet....and not in the way you might think. It's difficult trying to get the required amount down. I started placing an alarm on my phone to remind me to drink Protein, eat Breakfast and so forth. That was the best approach for me. Feeling very tired. Just taking a shower made me feel like I ran a marathon. But making sure to take my Vitamins and stick to the plan I'm slowly getting better. I did the dishes for the first time today, but I think I'm gonna milk that with my 16 year olds xD! I'm feeling much like a newbie myself but the best advice I find helpful is to remind yourself why you did it and know that each phase is only temporary. Good luck and God bless your journey! ;D

      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! 😞
