I just had my appointment for my pre-op diet today. I felt like such an idiot because I was fighting back tears. I know this will be such a short amount of time in the big scheme of things, but I will be on liquids for 3 weeks. The shakes are $75 a week! I am going to go into bankruptcy paying for this surgery and the supplements. I'm hoping after the first couple days I feel more confident, but right now I am really having a hard time being kind to myself.

Hi everyone,

My surgery is scheduled for November 7. It took a while to get everything done before I could get surgery scheduled, but now that I have a date I'm starting to get nervous. Anybody else?

My date is the7th also

Had my preop visit with my surgeon today. I've lost 10lbs since my last visit so I don't have to lose any more weight prior to surgery. But I'm sure I will because I still have to do the preop diet. Good luck to all of you having to do all liquid diets, I know that must be tough.

I'm less nervous and more excited now that it's getting closer to the 7th.

My date is Nov 8th, 2 weeks only liquid diet. Day three today and my headaches are clearing up. Felt a burst of energy today too...VERY worried about the weekend as I won't have work to distract me from being hungry.

Are you having to do all liquid, or do you get to eat a meal?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
