I just joined this site so I have no idea how it works yet. I would love to keep in touch and encourage each other through it all. I am having a rough time with the two week liquid diet. I have seen people post that the hungry feeling stopped after the third day but not here. I am starving but I keep trying to think of the end game. How is your liquid diet going??

I am 36 hours post surgery, I did 8 days of liquid diet and lost almost 10 pounds.... my doctor visited today and he said it was

a text book procedure, my liver was not swollen due to the liquid diet and the bleeding was minimal... I have 4 incisions and a Drain that will be removed in a week.... I just experienced minor pain yesterday... had a great night of sleep in my ultra nice private room...

Tomorrow I will have a contrast leak test and if everything is OK, I will go home.....

I hope you guys are doing great too !!

Most of the hunger has gone away but my liquid diet, which is 3 weeks, includes 6 meal replacement shakes per day and unlimited zero calorie drinks been on it 14 days already....but I really miss food all I want is a piece of chicken lol

For those of us who are post-op. How are you sleeping at home? Totally on your back? Kinda propped on one side? In a chair?

On back and left side. Right side hurt to much . Keeping the white stomach wrap on . First night pretty good

Im on Day 2 of the pre op liquid diet (and day 2 of no cigarettes). It is VERY difficult, Im really hungry. I hope this hungry feeling subsides soon. Mine is a 10 day diet

Yikes! I just got home from my pre-op appointment with my surgeon. He is now concerned with two prior incisions (bikini cuts) and the scar tissue it may have caused. He thinks he might need to make an open cut instead of laparoscopic, and a possibility of the sleeve instead of gastric bypass. I figured a larger incision and sleeve is better than an almost 50 BMI and other comorbidities. I was nervous before the appointment, but now I'm a little freaked out. Whose got some positive words for me?

My BMI was 52. I post 28 lbs on liquid diet and 4 lbs at Hospital after surgery. I can u derstand the worries you may have with open insidious night but it’s only temporary while the weight is permanent unless you make the choice

Hi there. I had my preop appt with my surgeon yesterday he said the same thing except mine was because of a c section scar . He said most are fine be he did ask me what would I rather do a sleeve instead or be opened up in the case of this happening. I chose sleeve because I would rather not run the risk of being opened up and getting an infection sending positive vibes !


This is my Journey to Joy !

So did the doc say he could go laparoscopic with the scar tissue and without making an open cut? Of course, he won't know anything until he goes in, but I wonder how scar tissue around my bikini area affects the surgery. I should have asked him. Ugh, questions always pop up after the fact.

Thanks for your input.
