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?

November 9th! YIPPEE!!! This pre-op diet is killing me! I hope all the others are right when they say the headaches and nausea eventually subside.... Definitely excited nonetheless.

      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! 😞
