Pre-op diet over the holidays...



Recommended Posts

We are superheroes!!! My mom said I was the strongest woman she knows lol

I do have classic binge eating disorder and since I am a revision patient, I've decided to see a psychiatrist after my surgery to help work through those issues. Part of realizing surgery will be a tool, not a magical cure all.

I'm still on five shakes a day, but I've been drinking Powerade zero which has no calories or sugar. It's the best thing in my day lol

2 more sleeps till surgery!

Been on my pre op 9 days and lost 9lb so delighted, just 10 more days till my op and every time I see something I wanna eat I just think of how I will look and feel slim and the craving goes. Tough time of year to do a pre op diet but it will be sooo worth it! Hope everyone's surgery goes well x

Day 10 of the pre-op diet and I've lost 11 pounds! I'm now down 27 pounds from my highest weight. The loss is really keeping me going. The diet gets easier every single day and even the cravings have been decreasing.

@@KWeilbrenner09 That's funny, my mom also said the same thing to me! My family couldn't believe how good I was when I went to a Christmas party last night with a ton of food around, and I didn't even bat an eye. It's great realizing just how strong you can be!

I'm starting to get really excited about life after surgery. I know it will be hard, but feeling healthier and lighter will be so amazing.

Good luck everyone!!

Had my surgery (RNY) yesterday afternoon. Just got home a few hours ago. The surgeon was very pleased with my compliance to the pre-surgery diet. It was tough, but I made it through with a good support system. All of my family and friends were so helpful and supportive. Not to mention the feedback on this board. Couldn't have done it otherwise.

I was doing laps around the floor every hour today from the time I woke up. Last evening, immediately after the surgery, was unpleasant. I just couldn't get comfortable.

I was determined to leave the hospital after one night and I succeeded. The Dilauded through the IV really helped. I switched to Norco a few hours before they discharged me. Only issue so far is I waited nearly 5 hours between doses which caused a bit of pain. My goal is to wean off as quickly as possible. How long did anyone stay on it for? I'm expecting three days. By Friday I'll be off it, hopefully.

Now on to the next stage! Hello warm, salty broth!!!

      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... :(
