How’s everyone doing that’s on their preop liquid diet? ? I was struggling with my surgeon required Optifast shakes but found that adding a little sugar free pudding to it thickens and covers up the gritty texture! Aug 6 - only 12 days to go!

So a small update - I’m at my surgeons appointment and the lady at the front desk said that my insurance doesn’t require a submit (whatever that means?) and she said that’s a good thing. Downside is I don’t get my date today like she said I would a few days ago but she’s going to call me tomorrow or Thursday with my date. She said the surgeon is pushed out until near the end of August so we shall see ! Soon as I get my official date I’ll know when to begin my pre op diet.

Hello all,

I just had my pre-op appointment at the hospital so I've cleared the final hurdle! My RNY/GB is scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 1, at 1:30 p.m. in the Houston area.

I'm excited and nervous but much more excited than nervous. ;-)

Can't wait to be on the loser's bench!

Congrats to everyone who was recently approved!!! I am on day 8 of my liver shrink diet and I am feeling good. Mine allows me to eat one small meal and two shakes a day. I do find myself thinking that I SHOULD be hungry but I'm working on that bug in my ear.

@YoBL Its awesome you are able to identify the mental hunger thing. That scares me more than surgery, not being able to get past that.

      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
