Myself and a friend are going on the 23rd oct, so you are before us, lucky you, I just want to get it over and done with so I can start getting rid of the pounds. Are you starting on your pre op diet soon? I spoke to Tullia this morning and she told me to go on a low fat diet for two weeks. Are you getting a little nervous now?, I think about it all the time Im sure i'm getting a bit of a bore to all my friends and family.

Hi jojoyoung, yes I am getting a bit nervous now and the days are whizzing past, but I just want it over and done with because its all im thinking about lol. Yes I have now done 5 days pre-op diet and doing quite well, I am just having slimfast meals and a healthy meal in the evenings.

Im sure you are not boring your friends and family lol im sure they understand the need for you to talk about it and your op is not that far away now either:ohmy:

Guys don't panic about half a pound or even a pound, emptying your bladder and bowel can clear that easily, I always try to weigh in birthday suit after I've been - not easy right enough but it can make a huge difference especially when you are on liquids.

1 litre of Water = 1 kg in weight

Hey Naomi, dont worry hun, your body is going through all sorts of changes at the moment and you will lose weight. It makes sense that if you are only having 400 cals at the most you will lose the 1bs. This is quite a common problem according to the other sites i have been reading, so you are not alone and you need to stay positive and know that it will eventually kick in and start working for you. Just losing the 9lbs is a very good start so dont beat yourself up about it.:crying:

ooooooooo poor you Vanessa, just what you need right now, ear infections, hope you feel better soon:ohmy:

Good on ya for getting extra, bet you felt cheated, esp as it was your last pud for a while lol, when you go there again you will be saying ooooooo thats far to much for my little tummy lol, can i have a childs portion please :crying:

I havent gone for the package so not waiting for confirmation, im making my own arrangements, I wasnt aware about them at the time of booking although i did get an email saying that the consultation had been made for 8 oclock on the night before the op with Dr Chris and he then confirmed it to Bridget and thats that lol, im sure everything will be ok though they seem pretty reliable and know what they are doing - I hope:scared2:

Hi everyone

Only 5 days to go til my op!!!! Not doing very well on pre op, I am trying to get in all my favourite meals before its liquids and mush for a while.

I have got my list of everything I need, but have a question about Vitamins, how can I take them if you can't swallow them whole or chew them?? I know it sounds daft but really want to make sure I'm not missing out on anything.

My ten year old daughter asked my husband if I was going to die, trying so hard to explain everything to her but it really made me think for a while if I was doing the right thing, but then the likelyhood of me dying from obesity would be greater than the op itself!

Don´t stress about putting a pound on here or there. It will soon drop off with a few extra as an added bonus. I went through a two week stint where nothing happened on the scale and then whooops it dropped down. This is normal. Also remember the quicker you lose the weight, more chance you will have sagging skin.

Take one day at a time. live your life and use your tool to your advantage. I´m trying really hard at the moment to get over my head hunger at night, it really is hard.

Dr Chris is really nice as are all the hospital staff. Chrissy i booked through Bridgette and had my consultation the night prior at 8 pm too and everything was fine and no one asked me about the pre op diet.

      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! 😞

      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.
