Squeeeeeee it's almost time! Surgery date is on Nov. 1, 2017. My doctor had no pre-op diet other than 24 hours prior. I kind of started early by doing liquids/shakes for 2 meals a day plus one tiny real meal for the last 3 days. Tomorrow is all liquids/shakes. Good luck to all my November sisters and brothers!!!

So exciting! I just had my pre admin testing this morning. All set and ready to go! Just ordered some cheap slippers off Amazon to bring with me to the hospital. Oh and by the way - day 6 of this liquid only diet - OVER IT! This sucks. But I'm doing it! 9 more days and counting...!!!

November 7 for me too. I’m in IL. Tomorrow is my last day of regular food then I’m on the clear liquid diet until the 7th.

I don’t have to do Clear Liquids till the day before. Right now I’m allowed yogurt and cream Soups. But I also have to do a bowel prep, night before surgery.

It's really interesting how much the pre op diet varies from surgeon to surgeon. I'm only required to do no carbs for the first 4 days and then liquids for 3 days prior to surgery.

I'll count myself lucky to only have to do 3 days of liquid [emoji23]

I'm jealous! I have to do 14 days clear liquids! Only thing getting me through is the hard boiled egg whites I'm allowed. Tomorrow is the halfway point though.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
