Yeah, just super slow. I think I'd be moving around a bit faster if it weren't for the gallbladder removal. The surgeon had some issues with it. It was messed up. He said he could tell I had had atleast one attack prior to surgery. Kinda scary! But yeah...just moving super slow, gradually getting better daily. -

Aug 12th surgery...I'm home, I was released yesterday. I need to dial in my pain meds better but all is ok. My gallbladder was apparently shot. My surgeon said I had had a gallbladder attack prior to surgery...so of course I've been trying to pin point that. I think most of my pain is from that removal. Not trying to weigh myself...just want to get around better. -

Pre Op Clear Liquid Diet- Fun Recipe
rhfactor272 replied to AshleePage's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Very hard! Just completed day 7 of 8 cause I apparently can't count. Surgery is the 12th and man this has been a test. But I did better than I thought I would...so hungry though. At this point I just want something different. -

Rooster, which surgery did you end up having? -
I agree with winning by losing on those exact days. I weighed myself the morning of day 5 (this morning) and I've lost 10 pounds. Insane at 4 days in and enough to keep me motivated til my surgery Aug 12!

Going to have to look for these...my liquid diet is too boring. -
I think my headache is from weening off caffeine...I dont want that caffeine headache during recovery! Luckily its not crazy bad. You CAN do it! I love the site but sometimes it gets my anxiety going!

Can you eat gummies or the regular old school flinstones?

I hear you...today was day one of all liquid diet for me and its tough. Surgery is Aug 12th...one more week. My diets barely last a week...I must do this. Would be nice if this headache went away though!

When was your surgery? -
My surgery is one month away...if YOU knew then, what you know now...what would you do differently?
-
Same thing happened with my ins. They said they were missing a paper...it took two weeks after that "appeal" (I was irritated but just sat tight).

You know the strange part is I never even realized I had reflux so badly. I mean there have been a few nasty belches (sorry for detail) but other than that...had no symptoms. I should've listened to my body more maybe? I don't know. -

Oh my! I am so sorry for your experience. What a trooper you are! I'll be following & keeping you in my prayers for a new beginning! , I'm 42 & I have some Barretts if you're familiar...only I'm going straight to bypass...no trying the sleeve here (I dont think my doc would do it anyway because of it). Still very nervous!
