I start the pre-op liquid diet in a few weeks, i'm not looking forward to that. I'm concerned about how I'm going to stick to it! What are everyone's major concerns about the surgery? For me it's the nausea and being able to intake enough fluids - I'm hoping for the best but going into it knowing it could be pretty difficult those first few months.


I'm so focused on the reactions of others (family) after surgery that I almost feel like getting a hotel room & saying I'm out of town for work until I'm ready to staying for a week until I'm ready to deal with people! [emoji23] (I realize that's crazy talk [emoji6])

For whatever reason, I have a good feeling about the recovery. [emoji51] I've been taking a lot of different Vitamins that are recommended pre-surgery & I've been doing low carb for 8 days now. It would be so much harder to start the liquid diet on June 14 if I was still eating lots of carbs, etc. I actually feel so much better already eating this way-which is ironic since I couldn't bring myself to eat healthy before, but now that I have HOPE again (Sleeve Hope), I'm loving eating healthy! Ugh! For me, I've been so depressed & hopeless for the past few years that I had given up. My surgery is the first thing I've been excited about for myself in a very long time, so I'm focusing on all of the things I miss...like looking good in jeans [emoji158] & being able to "squat" down in the store to look at the bottom shelf, crossing my legs comfortably, sitting with my legs crossed on the floor, walking up & down steps without feeling like I'm hurting my joints...feeling like I'm walking on pebbles when I get out of bed in the morning. [emoji175]

Looking to connect with anyone who is having their surgery preferably in June. A surgery buddy would be helpful I think! [emoji4]

I'm scheduled for this Monday the 12th of June. Getting kind of nervous.

Hello! I just joined because I found out yesterday that my surgery is June 27th. I am getting ready to start my pre-surgery diet. I was fine with everything till I got the call yesterday and now I'm pretty terrified. Excited but scared for the healing.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
