I have survived week 1 of the pre OP diet and 1 week to go. I have lost 10 lbs but stalled the last 2 days. I was hoping to lose more weight and go into this with a bang. Still hoping!

I believe the pre-op diet is more for shrinking the liver, then for weight loss. Obviously with the reduction of calories, weight loss in inevitable however, look at it more that your liver is shrinking and your body will be in the best condition for surgery.

That is a good mindset. I have been trying to think good thoughts that my liver is shrinking!

It is but the more weight I lose now the easier it will be to get to my goal. Since no matter what I did and couldn't get below 292 I am elated I am now 279.

I did not weigh the first week then after my weekly weigh in I was surprised! I now wake up wanting to weigh. Not sure if it is motivation or not so far. As long as liver is shrinking I am happy! Good luck to you.

Don't stress my Dr said it's mostly to shrink liver to make surgery safer but if I'm able to lose a few lbs good for me :)

Is anyone having trouble following the diet? I’m so hungry and am finding it hard not to eat things I’m nOt supposed to. I’m scared they won’t be able to do surgery. Any suggestions please

Leelee you can do it focus, focus,focus. I am on my 9th day and my strategy was to drink my 2 Protein Shakes while at work, plus plenty of Water, tea and a crystal light. When I get home i eat a small dinner of salad or steam vegetables with 4-6 oz Protein. Tomorrow begins my 2 day of only Clear Liquids and then off to surgery on Monday.

Hang in there!

      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?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
