Best of luck on Monday! Don't be discouraged if you gain the prep weight loss back after surgery. It's just Water gain and it will come off. Love the saying about creating yourself!

Hello! This is my very first post. Awe so new.

I have a three weeks of pre-op diet :blink: .

I am almost a week in, three Protein shakes a day (my surgeon/ clinic supplied them, thankfully they are chocolate flavored and very decadent) and max 250 cals of low glycemic veggies.

I have Pasta in my cupboard, and I would like to just cook one noodle, or a nice piece of toast. I suppose I am still getting rid of bad habits, and beating some cravings.

Ugh so hard, but it will be so worth it. I am already down weight, so that is awesome!

Yay. You must be so excited that your surgery is so close. I am on day 7 of my preop diet today and I have surgery next Wednesday (27th). This pre-op diet kind of sucks, but I'm sticking to it, even through a big four day family gathering we just had this past weekend. I've lost 8 pounds so far on it, so that's really nice! I took measurements too so I can watch those shrink as well. I want to do photos, but haven't done that yet.

Good luck on your journey!

I am super excited! Two weeks is not a long time, but it does feel like time is d-r-a-g-g-i-n-g along, so slowly. I am trying my best to have a perfect Pre-op diet, I think I can do it :)

@BarefootDrummer. The 27th! So close. You must be pumped, 8 pounds is fantastic! You are already well on your way. I took some photos, but I think I am going to wait to do measurements and take more photos the day before surgery.

Good luck to your journey as well.

@@Jodie Posie - I don't really like to do measurements, but today is one week from the start of the preop diet and I redid the measurements. I could not believe I've already lost 2" off my waist and 2" off my hips! I know a lot of people don't like getting on the scale either, but I find it so motivating to see those numbers going down every day. I just hope they keep doing that. That's my biggest fear. I've been on very low calorie diets before and they start off good and then my body adjusts and says Ok, I'll just maintain on this amount. I'm a very "easy keeper". Ha, ha.

I have faith that you can do a perfect pre-op diet! I'm going to attempt to do the same. I think that since I made it through my family gathering last weekend, I can make it through anything now.

Did you find anything that you really liked the taste of or that made it a little easier with the eating?

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
