Absolutely! I started my 2week diet today.. I think I'm more worried about that than the actual surgery! 🤣

its actually not so bad as long as you get plenty of Protein in....it has kept me fuller longer....sugar free Popsicle...jello...broth... ( i added in greek yogurt that wasn't on my plan...but has helped tremendously)

Not that i want to sabotage myself by adding things not on my list...but i have asked around and lots of people were successful adding it in...and i really feel that if i dont add it in.. i will just blow it and cheat ( i know my flaws)

you will do great...

a few tips:

Drink a gallon of Water everyday. I thought this was alot at first...but once i got started...it wasn't that difficult. And it will surely help keep you full.

Also, i bought Isopure unflavored...which is just a protient poweder to add to anything. Its unflavored and helps me get my protien in. I have been adding it to my broth. It thickens it up just a big and after lunch im about stuffed!

Good luck lady! Keep me posted on how you are doing!

I'm scheduled for bypass on April 26th. I have a 10 day pre-op diet that starts on the 16th. I am so ready for surgery! The 26th seems so far away even though I know it's right around the corner [emoji23]

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
