Surgery on the 13th. Starting my liquids diet tomorrow. Is there any vitamins I should be taking at this point? Also, for protien shake pre-op, does anyone have specific recommendations?

late to the party here

surgery date -- 20 January

pre-op diet starts today -- woohoo we've prepping and practicing for this so I expect it to go off without much trouble

concerns -- I sometimes feel as if I've somehow failed at life for going down this path. I've successfully gone through all the mental evals and meetings with the bariatric team ... but still

no worries forward to a thinner healthier me!

I don’t think you have failed at life at all, if anything you have taken it by the horns and are steering it in the direction you want to go! I have a 13 year old and he said to me the other day ‘I think you are really brave for doing this mum’ I was ready for not really understanding Instead I got the opposite. We all make these choices for ourselves for different reasons. We wouldn’t think that someone taking depression/anxiety meds had failed just they needed a little help.

I am one day post op and feel on top of the world in my decision, albeit very gingerly stood there.

I wish you all the best with your weight loss journey xx

It went well, but I felt like I had been hit by a bus for a couple of days. Still feels surreal, but I am all good x

I just got my new surgery date. January 20th. I Start my pre-op diet next Wednesday. I am extremely excited!

I had my surgery on the 11th, I was doing so good. Since Saturday I have started being nauseous all the time, and the nausea medicine doesn’t touch it. It’s causing me to not be even close to my 80g protein and 64 oz liquids. I messaged my provider and they got me a better antinausea med but they also want me to go back to liquids ? I’m so disappointed. I thought I’d never have buyer’s remorse but I’m finding a lot this minute.
