My surgery is June 17th for bypass. About to start my liver shrink diet (I was fortunate and my surgeon said I only need about 10 days of it, not 2-3 weeks). Super excited for this!

Got a call today from my surgeon's office...I've been bumped up from the 17th to the 16th....WOW, really getting real! Looks like it's clears tomorrow for me. So weird to go through everything we go through to get to this point and bam...it's here. Good luck to all!

Don't fear the liver shrink! Lol....it's really not too terrible. The only rough day for me was day #2 (not sure why, I think my body just suddenly realized the food funerals I was having were no more!) other than that it was totally fine. Your appetite really does start to check itself at the door after that. And I survived being at a Mexican restaurant during that time, had some grilled salmon and asparagus and steamed veggies, and paid no attention to my family munching on tortilla chips, salsa and cheese dip, plus their meals! But use the "unlimited non starchy veggies" they allow cause it gets you through rough Patches and just makes any hunger go away. And the Protein really does an amazing job too of keeping hunger away. You'll do great!

Feeling good so far. I'll be 2 weeks post op on Wed. I'm waiting to get on the scale at my post op visit this Thursday but I can tell I'm losing!

Lemm61 you seem like an amazingly positive person, I know you'll completely own that scale! Good luck and thanks for your updates from the "other side" for those of us with dates coming up, much appreciated!

I wish I was allowed those things... Only thing I'm allowed next week is eggs, cottage cheese, sugar free Jello and Popsicles, Protein Drinks with skim milk, Protein infused Soups with no chunks, apple sauce, carnation instant Breakfast, cream of wheat, sugar free pudding and reduced fat string cheese the of course Clear Liquids day before... I'm grateful for the diet and I'm sure it'll help with the cravings and appetite after, it's just drastic lol. I'm currently trying to ease into it daily

Two week Post op check went well. I'm cleared for the first phase of a soft diet. I've lost 9 lbs. I know my weight loss will be a little slower. I lost 34 pounds on the required supervised diet. My BMI/weight was fairly low at the time of surgery. I have 60 pounds to lose now to get the a normal BMI and 100 pounds total lost.

My wls office never really gave me a goal weight. I'm under 40 BMI too and after this pre op diet I have a feeling I'll be close to 30. I need to set a goal! Help!

They didn't give me a goal either. I looked up what my BMI should be for my height and I'm shooting for dead center in the middle of that BMI range. [emoji3]

      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?

      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
