On day 4 of my 10 day pre-op diet. I've stayed very disciplined & I'm hardly hungry . I'm down 6 lbs AND I'm on my period (which usually adds a good 5 lbs) so feeling extra magnificent with my progress!!!!

Hope you're all doing well! Feb 18th can't come soon enough!

Ahhhh my surgery is on the 16th!!! I am doing pretty good on the pre-op too. Are you drinking coffee? There wasn't anything in my paperwork saying I couldn't and I only have one cup (black) but it dawned on me this morning that maybe I shouldn't be drinking it.

Im 11 days away from my surgery, but not doing any pre op [emoji20] what are you doing for pre op guys

Why no pre-op? Was it discussed at all? My surgeon has a high Protein low sugar/fat diet. Helps shrink the liver and prepares your organs for surgery. Length of time depends on your BMI. It's a Protein Shake for Breakfast, lunch and for snack (only if needed) and 3-4 oz of low protein with 1-2 cups of veggies/greens for dinner.

What does your diet look like? Surgeons do differ wildly in the type of diets they recommend.

That's sweet, thank you!!! I've tried juicing before, up to 3 weeks at a time, so this almost feels like cheating eating a meal everynight lol.

My pre op diet is clear liquids only - diet Jello, broth, sugar free Popsicles. This is day 2 for me. It isn't easy but I have to remind myself "one day at a time ". Surgery date is the 15th

I'm required to do that for the last 2 days before surgery only. Isn't it crazy how there's so many variations?

There could be so many reasons! Maybe you have a lower BMI (mine is 47) or just Doctor preference. My Dr lives in the US but the practice is in Mexico, maybe he's just extra cautious because we don't see him as long.

I'm on day 3 pre op diet! My diet is strictly liquid only. 3 or 4 Protein Shakes a day and 64 oz of Water. It's going awesome so far not dying hungry. Down 8 pounds. I had some chicken stock to break up the same old flavor of the really sweet Protein shakes and that shit was some liquid gold!! Surgery is feb 21 and I still can't believe it.. I'm so nervous but so excited. When I say surgery is a week and a half away it reaaaaallllly freaks me out! Glad you're doing good on you pre op diet too!!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
