Audrey we are surgersisters! I was the 16th too!

I would like to know if anyone have or are having surgery with a BMI over 50 and that weigh or have weighed over 450 lbs.

Ok so I had my first postop appt today. Since leaving the hospital 2 full weeks tomorrow I have lost 25 lbs! That does include some fluid weight I had gained in the hospital but I am very happy

Yes appeal!

Yeah Fabiana when do u start you preop diet

Take Gasx also Radar hormel double protein nectar peach flavor has 24 g protein in 2.5 oz bottle. 3 bottles have 72 g of protein so you can do 2 1/2 bottles. I put over ice

You all will do fine!

Feeling better 4th day post op

Ok rough couple of days with pain and 7 holes then felt better until I ripped and almost pulled my drain out...more stitches. Have not weighed yet as they are pouring liquids in me to get my bridging levels up for my coumadin.

I am slowly getting there Eating and drinking little bit little. I actually have 7 openings and to d at I accidentally ripped one of my pump switched

My surgery started at 8 amlsh and I didn't get to my room until 9 30 pm pain bad

Off to get prepped for surgery!

Off to get prepped for surgery!

Ok I am off to prep for surgery at 8 am! I'm still nervous

Surgery tomorrow at 8:30...still nervous

I am very nervous but trying not to be. I can't believe I made it to day 14 of this preop diet but I did! Ty for thinking about me. You are almost there too!

Ty so much! I am now wondering am I doing the right thing but I know I am

Day 13 preop diet almost done! In hospital now with heparin drip surgery on Wednesday.

You go girls...rooting for you! Post when you can so we know you are well

Mine is day 9 and I want to eat drywall at this point.

@@VDLT I am day 8 on my all liquid preop diet and I am starving but taking one day at a time with help of people in the room as I have had to be talked off the ledge a couple of times lol. I love the Boost Glucose Control drinks as they especially the chocolate are good, no after taste.

You are warriors remember that! I am one week out til surgery and I am getting nervous and scared as I am very high risk...BMI is 79 a couple of weeks ago after losing 75 lbs. I hate this 2 week liquid diet too, but I keep telling myself this is how it has to be to reach my goal to live a happier healthy life. Just think about your health, shopping, quality of life, being more active without hurting and that will get you thru I promise. Wishing you and everyone else the best.

Good luck with the diet it's a bear. I am on day 6 and it is still h a rd for me. But you will do great just take one day at a time.

Thank you for the suggestions! I was told no broth nor pickles. I will make it thru..if you all can do it, then I can do it....at least until my next breakdown lol.

4 days done on the preop and I am hungry. I am on 4 1/2 protein shakes, sugar free jello, and sugar free popscicle. I don't know if I can do 10 more days...any suggestions?
