@chellevsg I've been on the same liquid diet since June 23rd and 2 days prior to surgery I can't have any Protein at all, just broth, sugar free Jello, and Water. It does get better! You're in the home stretch

My surgery date is 7/7/16 . On day 3 of the pre op diet and having a horrible time . It's so bad that I'm thinking about canceling my surgery. Is the post op diet comparable to the pre op ? I don't know if it's caffeine withdrawal or the strict diet but I feel terrible ! Headaches, nauseous and no energy . HELP .... Please give me hope and tell me it gets better .

Hang in there! Days 2-4/5 were the worst, with each day getting a little better. Stay strong!!!

@@podg25 I'm only 35 BMI then I was loosing weight by change of food habits because I didn't know if I was gonna get approved but yes I did so I had lost weight. I'm trying to eat now to gain a few before I do the liquid diet I don't know if I'll do the two weeks because I'm not at the BMI I was and don't want to be too small, just my crazy thinking that they'll think I'm too small but I have other qualifications like hbp, sleep apnea,etc. I'm just lost here

So, can we talk about something NOT fun? Is anyone having trouble with really bad Constipation on the pre-op? I started taking Fiber supplements, then today I broke down and took laxatives, but still NOTHiNG. Is becoming very uncomfortable and I am afraid if things don't move before surgery in 2 days, the gas pains and everything will be much worse. Anyone else experiencing this?

I've got my surgery date for 7-18-16. Nervous. Anyone else have a July surgery date scheduled?

I will be converting my band to sleeve on July 8th.

July 20th.

Currently on a 4 week pre-op liquid diet.

It's been a lot harder on this diet than I thought. Am nearly finished week 2. I posted in the July thread but this one seems to be way more popular. I went on a pre pre-op diet too for a few months, and when I switched to the pre-op diet I had to eat even less. And knowing that I couldn't have the occasional takeaway, plus starving, made it so hard. Must admit I cheated twice in week 1... since it was carbs it put me out of ketosis. Since then I'm back on the bandwagon and feel like I got it out of my system. Am currently in a good mindset, however the fact that I can eat some carbs in a month or two keeps me sane, as bad as that may sound to some.

      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.

      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! 😞
