My surgery date was April 12 but was bumped up to April 5th. I started Clear Liquids Friday and can have 3 Protein Shakes a day. I was ok Friday, but yesterday was a struggle. I never truly feel satisfied with just liquids and i'm already getting a little sick of Protein shakes. But i keep reminding myself that i'm doing this for a better me. Good luck everyone!

You got this I have been on liquids since Monday. Try Sugar Jello sugar free popsicles, Powerade zero. Dont give in I have 3 kids and what I do is go to my room when everyone is eating or entertain myself with something else.

Can I whine a little? I'm on Day 5 of the pre-op liquid diet. A storm came through & knocked out the power. Now my popsicles are melted, I can't warm up my broth or make Jello and my Protein Shakes are lukewarm. This. Sucks. (Thank you for listening. I feel better just venting! I'm sure tomorrow will be better.)

2AM - just woke up. I had my surgery yesterday morning. I was so groggy afterwards I couldn't really wake up until around 4:00 PM. Sipping on Water, walking the halls. Received an iv of something similar to Tylenol around 11 for pain. Pain really wasn't that bad but I figured it would help me sleep comfortably. Hope all my April 3 surgery buddies are doing well!

Glad to hear that your doing good. My gas pains is just about gone. Thank goodness. I'm peeing good to. Still a lil hard to take really deep breaths.

Going to try and lay in the bed today as this recliner sucks.

Had some major pains last night but pain meds are helping. Up drinking Water and walking every two hours. Pain isn't bad at the moment. All went well with mine yesterday.

      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... :(
