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!!

      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?
