I was supposed to start a week ago but I just went cold turkey today. I hope I didn't mess up my chances to have my surgery on the 11th!

You should be fine. It's hard to start any diet around the holidays. Good luck in your new lifestyle journey!

Be honest with your surgeon and see what he/she says. The last thing you want is for it to be rescheduled after they put you under, put some incisions in, and realize they can't do it! (And I'm not saying that's what would happen.)

The purpose of the pre-op diet is to get rid of some of the fat around your liver so it is easier to move aside and get to the stomach.

One cannot make up for lost time but you can move forward and pay strict attention to the 3 major factors - Water, exercise and food intake.

      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?

      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! 😞
