How is everyone doing with their pre-op diets? Mine is honestly much better than I anticipated although I am one of the lucky ones that is not restricted to only liquid. I'm definitely having some head hunger and cravings but I'm not actually hungry most of the time.

Question for the ladies: anyone else due for their time of month around surgery? I'm praying mine comes soon and is done by the time I go in. I don't want to have to be dealing with that on top of everything else.

JUST realized my 1st cycle day is surgery day 🤦‍♀️ NOT looking forward to that As I usually have SEVERE cramps. I was looking at other people's posts about it and they've said there is a lot of support during the hospital stay when you're on your period. I hope so!!!

Hope it goes well for you and it's not too bad.

Well, at least you'll get pain meds. That's something to look forward to with bad cramps ;-)

I just had my pre-op appointment and pre-op diet starts tomorrow. I can’t believe my surgery is 2 weeks from tomorrow! I feel like the last part of this process has gone by so fast, I’m excited and a bit freaked out!

Hey y’all I literally just started my 2 week pre op diet today and I’m already experiencing some head hunger lol I’m super excited and nervous. I saw some ladies talking about their cycles and I was scared on that because mines supposed to start a few days before my surgery! Any tips? Lol

Nice! I started mine yesterday as the surgeon's office wanted 14 full weeks of liquid + the day before surgery Clear Liquids. Yeesh!

The only thing I'm struggling with is caffeine withdrawal! I was a HUGE fan of caffeine - I've had a foggy headache since this weekend when I quit cold turkey :(

How is yours going? Can you have solids?

I was not looking forward to this liquid diet lol I’ma huge carb lover unfortunately for me. Only solid I can have is a hard boiled egg!! My mind woke up hungrier than ever today. & I felt that on the caffeine cause a coffee a day keeps the headaches away 😂

It's weird going into the weeks leading up to surgery. I still have my pre-op appointment with my primary care doctor. That's the last thing I have to do. It's going quickly now!

I'm hoping the brain fogginess lets up soon.

I had the same issue with caffeine withdrawal. I had some green tea the first day, but it didn't help at all. I broke down and had a half cup on day 3 because I had such a bad headache, but I've been without since then and feeling a lot better. Hang it there!

      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
