Au contraire, mon ami! My liquid diet is 8 days prior to surgery - mostly milk and yogurt and clears, then clears only 24 hours before. I might be ready to perish at that point!

Ouch... that is kind of rough :( But... the additional weight loss will be a bonus!!

Does anyone know how I can get my rings off of my fat fingers??? I am pretty sure I have to take them off for surgery. They have been on for almost 30 years and getting them off is going to be a chore. Thoughts?? Thanks!!


The nurses at the hospital helped take my grandmothers jewelry off of her before surgery, but they unfortunately had to cut her bangles off. I would try to attend YouTube University for some tips and tricks to see if you can get them off beforehand so you don’t have the same experience!

Good idea.... Thanks!

I'm an ICU nurse, and have taken many a ring off. I use an elastic band (from a airborne mask) and use that method to get them off. http://www.assh.org/handcare/Conditions-and-Injuries/Hand-Safety/Removing-a-Ring

It's going to hurt, but it's really the only way to get rings off if your hands are swollen short of cutting them off.

Did mine an entire month, August, lost 15 pounds. That's the high function autie in me, when I committ I do so with a ferciousity. Nothing distracts an autie when we are centered. At any rate, my liver decreased approx 15% from its high NASH-hood, easier for Dr Needleman, my surgeon and much easier on me. FYI your liver decreases 2.4% for every week of liver-shrinking diet, and yes it is a Royal pain in the tookus!

My surgery is 12/3 and nobody has told me about any pre-op/liquid diet. I’m starting to worry I may have missed the memo!

I have my last nutrition visit 11/19, maybe I hear then? But I did just call the docs office and left a message to check.

Every program is different. Mine makes you come to 3 informational classes while you're doing all of your other legwork. (Psych evals, upper GIs etc) By my Pre-Op day we're expected to be very well informed.

Some nuts, some surgeon's don't believe in those. They believe a low cal low carb diet, eating healthily prior to surgery is more important. You may have booked with one of that variety, if not they will let you know well ahead of time! Don't sweat the small stuff, as you get older most everything does turn into small stuff!

I had 6 months of pre-op check in’s but they were all with the nutritionist, basically prepping you for post-op. But I do have a FINAL nutritionist visit next Monday which is 2 hours long. I know we do get pre-op soap at that class. So I’m sure that is where I will find out about pre-op diet.

Hi :) Looking forward to getting to know you all!!! I am having my surgery on the 11th of December. I am currently on the preop diet. I had to do 4 weeks but started 2 weeks early so 6 weeks in total. I have lost 9.2kg so far and sitting on 114kg as of this morning. So so so excited for surgery. 28 days to go :)

      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
