Starting my pre-op diet on Monday! No foods just liquids but I have Protein Shakes, broth, Protein Water and sugar free Jello on deck.

I'm kind of looking forward to it. I've been feeling so bloated and crappy lately.

Only two weeks to go until surgery!!!

Starting day 5 of my pre-op diet and I've lost 9 lbs! LOL! I'm sure it won't keep up at this speed but I'm a happy camper, the more the liver can shrink the better. haha. I'm doing pretty OK energy level-wise, but I do get a little sleepy at my desk mid afternoon. And at night...I'm going to bed SUPER early (for me). Between 8 and 9pm. The first 2 days were the hardest for me as far as the hunger. Day 3 I seemed to settle in and only get moderately hungry when it was time to "eat" (if you can call it that, lmao). I'm so excited for all of us! This is the month we change our lives forever!

I know what you mean. I’m on day 6 and down 11. It can’t stay at this rate but I am hoping for 265 to 260 by surgery. Im at 267.2 now. It was really hard days 4-5. Today I seem ok. We will see how it goes.

The liquid pre-op diet takes care of that, I think. At least with me it is. 😬

I am on day 5 of the liquid pre-op diet and I've only lost 4 pounds. I am jealous of your 9 and 11 pound weight loss. The liquid diet hasn't done anything for my bowels. I just had to take something for that but I have lots of issues in that department anyway. I am not discouraged. Everyone is different. We will get through this. I am so proud of all of us for making it this far. We can do this!!!

That’s the right attitude! You are doing great!! I’m only down .2 this morning so that 9 might be all my body is going to give me on this. Haha. Yours might respond differently on the tail end, you never know! You’ve got this either way! ❤️

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
