Congrats on having a surgery date. I have to do next week's stress test, and then hopefully I will have a date. Hoping for 4/11-ish. This entire process should count as one.big.stress.test! 🤒

I just found this forum and thread. My sleeve is scheduled for 4/26/22. I have my pre-op meeting with the dietitian 4/7/2022. It’s been a long journey to get to this point and I’m excited it’s so close.

Hi! My gastric bypass is scheduled for 4/26. We’re surgery twins!

Mine is scheduled for April 5th! I am on the pre-op Milk diet day 2. Having caffeine withdrawal headache ☹️. Having my surgery in Vancouver, WA. Good luck to everyone!

Alieve was the only thing that helped the withdrawal headache for me. Can’t have it post op but you can pre op.

Ugh that sounds rough, my pre op diet allows for one cup of caffeine a day which I’ll gladly take

In anticipation of and hoping for a 4/11-ish surgery date (week of Spring Break), i'm going to start the Liver Reduction Diet next Wednesday, 3/30...the day after my stress test.

Can anyone recommend an approved Protein Shake that doesn't taste disgusting? I cannot stand the taste of Premier chocolate.

Thanks in advance. PS: I am typically very easy going about how things taste, but I do not like the taste of Premier.

      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
