I am scheduled for 7/11. Excited but I am somewhat nervous. I only have to do a 2 day liquid diet. I will report back after the surgery .

I'm also scheduled for July 18! This is my second scheduling; the original was postponed as I had a horrible chest cold. The anesthesiology nurse listened to me cough on the phone and said no way, no how were they doing surgery the next day! OF course, this was on day 13 of the 14 day, pre-op, liquids-only diet! I missed 2 graduation BBQ parties during that 2 week time period, and let me tell you, there was some amazing food at those parties that I missed out on! ANYHOW... I am rescheduled for July 18 and cannot wait. I am OK with the 2 week pre-op diet; already did it, so I know I can do it again! My 60th birthday is July 26, but I'm having a surprise going-away party for my daughter that night. Sure hope I'm feeling well enough to pull it off. We are having it at a local pub, with pizza, wings, beer, etc. I am not worried about the food- I know I won't be cheating that night- just hoping to feel strong enough 10 days post-surgery to BE there!

Does anyone have a good pre op to do list? I'm starting to worry I'm going to forget something critical. I'm going 11/7. Started my two week pre op diet today.

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My date is July 7 but I'm out of town July 2-6, flying back the night before surgery so I'm working on this list. Have to have everything ready for the hospital and immediately postop before I leave on the 2nd.

Here's what I have so far:

- make sure I have at least one of all of the allowed post op liquid options stocked and reachable (broth, tea, Protein Powder all come down from the high shelves. Popsicles in the freezer and ready made drinks in the fridge)

-fill my prescriptions before I leave town

- clean bed sheets to come home to (always the last thing I do before traveling anyway)

- place heating pad by the bed in case I need it

- braid my clean hair the night before surgery (so I don't have to worry about it!)

- make sure I have antibacterial soap on hand (hibiclens)

- fill all the ice cube trays

- clear my schedule for the days immediately following surgery

- stock up on some library books and fresh reads for when I'm around the house (looking forward to this!)

- set out some comfy, easy to wear breezy clothes for around the house

- clean the house (in case I'm too tired after)

- pack for the hospital (phone charger, gas x strips, eyeglass case, face cream, headphones)

That's all I have so far. I'm recovering alone so this list may look strange to anyone who has help!

Should you have Liquid Tylenol on hand maybe- so you don't have to go out and get any? (Because I am hoping you won't need the heavy-duty prescription drugs for post-op pain!)

      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?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
