January 8 surgery .... anyone else??



Recommended Posts

Happy New Year. I began my pre-surgery liquid diet this morning... great way to start the year! My surgery is January 8. Any other January 8ers?

Congratulations! I am not an "8er," but my surgery is the 14th. My doctor does not require a liquid pre-op diet, but I have put myself on one because he does require that you lose any weight you gained from your first office visit. I started the process in May of last year and when I went in in the middle of December to get my surgery date, I had gained 6 pounds!

My surgery is also on the 8th of Jan. I had to start a liquid diet on Christmas day.:confused: So far it is going well, just getting really nervous.:cursing: I hope yours goes well.

Good luck with your pre-surgery loss and your procedure on the 14th. The liquid diet is harder today than it was yesterday. UGH! I know it will be worth it....

Good luck and God bless!

My surgery is also on the 8th of Jan. I had to start a liquid diet on Christmas day.:biggrin: So far it is going well, just getting really nervous.:tongue: I hope yours goes well.

I was grateful my doctor only did the one week liquid presurgery. Sorry you had to start yours on Christmas. I am guessing you are a strong person if you can do that during the holidays!

Good luck to you on the 8th! We are beginning a new adventure together.

Thanks Cate! You know I really haven't gotten that hungry this week and I have lost 3 pounds, but today is my birthday and I really would like to go out and have a nice dinner tonight! Pray for me.....

Well, from start to finish to do everything that my insurance required took about 6 months. There was the 6 month supervised diet, the nutritionist, the pschologist, etc. It is a process, but it is worth it!

Wow, that is along time, I started my journey in late Oct. 08 and was banded Jan. 8th 09. :wink2: So far so good I have lost 30 pounds between the pre-op liquid diet and now. I'm still five weeks out from an feel, and starting to get hungry!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
