So I don't actually *have* a pre op diet... BUT I think I am going to start one on Monday and follow everyone else lol. People seem to adjust better I think?

I’m jealous Kay! Haha it’s not that bad but it’s not that great either... But this is what we signed up for! Lol

I’m nervous and excited sprinkled with a little anxious.. My pre op diet starts tomorrow and it will be all liquids until Surgery.. How is everyone else doing??



I’m doing well, it’s frustrating at times seeing everyone else just eat whatever they want, but I know in my heart why I am doing this, so it gets me through... Day by Day

My thoughts on the pre-op diet:
The good; Protein Water from Sam’s is yum!
Iconic Protein Drinks are super yum
Evol Fire grilled steak is awesome

The bad; Makes me think of food nonstop
Tofu almost made me barf
Siggi’s yogurt is revolting, and I gagged on it
I’m jealous of the food I fix my boys
I miss wine

The ugly; I wanted real food so bad I ate an entire cantaloupe

And the beauty is this will all be worth it when we have the results we have been wanting. It's tough. I'm on day 5 and want a real meal and some wine too [emoji16] PS my fav right now is premiere Protein chocolate and caramel.

I'm doing much better, I had a great Friday and this morning I didn't even think about eating, I almost forgot my shake! I tried an Iconic coconut green tea thing that shot right back out of my mouth! A great big nope for that flavor! It's all good though, I rinsed my mouth with Water and then drank a premier chocolate shake. So, one week left! mondaymondaymondaymondaymondaymondaymonday

I feel so guilty about not having a liquid pre-op, but I have cut out many things already. I haven't had a candy bar in 3 months haha. I drink a shake every morning, but I make my own. (Today was 1/2C greek yogurt, 8oz unsweetened almond milk, 1 scoop Delicious Dream French vanilla Protein Powder and 1/4C of frozen GS apples). I am keeping my calories to around 1400, carbs fairly low, and no added sugars. Be that as it may... my weight hasn't gone down much :(. My body doesn't like to lose weight haha.

I'm also getting the sleeve. Where's everybody from? I'm from Toronto (Canada) but I live in New Taipei City (Taiwan). Navigating the health system here has been an interesting experience!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
