Starting day 6 of my 2 week liquid diet. Not really hungry...just really emotional and weepy...I assume this is normal. Plus my head keeps playing games telling me you know you want a juicy cheeseburger or pizza one LAST time!! It's horrible!! Try to distract myself and I end up going to bed early and tell myself I will cheat tomorrow just to silence the thoughts in my head!! Mind games start in evening cuz i do fine during the day. It's crazy! 9 more days til surgery. ..I'm going to be a basket case!!

My surgery is scheduled for 09-21 and I am also on a liquid diet. I too am very emotional. In fact, it reminds me a lot of the emotional rollercoaster of pregnancy. I'm easily irritated and the tears are ready to fall at any given moment. Evening time seems to be the most difficult part of the day for me as well. I guess it's because I'm busy all day and don't have as much time to dwell on things. I've found that it helps to find something to keep me busy in the evening. Good luck on your journey. Sending well wishes your way.

Can you have broth and sugar free popsicles? Try having them in the evenings. Distract yourselves - take a bath, read, color, clean closets (get rid of big clothes you won't be wearing again, see what you have or need), paint your nails, go for a walk, etc. You both can do this! Remember the goal! Stay strong!

I had to change up what liquids I was having during my pre-op. Would have Water, some with crystal light, chicken broth, Jello, Popsicles, even crushed ice. Crushed ice was nice because it was something I could chew on. The first week of the diet I kept working. One night was particularly rough when everyone else ordered pizza. I just stayed in my office and kept my eye on the ball. I was open with everyone at work so they didn't think I was being a jerk by separating myself from their dining. They've been really supportive. The second week I went and saw a movie each day at the theater and did one project around the house. Went to bed early each night and stayed focused on the goal.

      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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
