How much did everyone loose af their 2 week post op? I’m almost 2 weeks out

Pain in your lower back seams weird. I had no pain down in my back.

I had surgery 10/19/18 with a 1.5 year old and a 3 year old. The first few days they were away at my moms house and then they came home and my husband had 2 days off work. Tomorrow will be 6 days post op and I feel confident I can take care of them by myself tomorrow. My house looks like a disaster because I haven’t had time/energy to clean up but everyone is safe/healthy/and feed.

@CrankyMagpie sorry for your loss! Thanks for doing this list.

My surgery is rescheduled to the 19th!

My surgery is postponed. Waiting to hear back on a new date.

Yeah unfortunately mine probably won’t be anymore. I find out for sure Tuesday.

My surgery most likely will get postponed I have pneumonia. My surgery was going to be Friday the 12th

My office says no coffee. I’m having similar thoughts with diet soda. Cutting that out is hard for me.

I’m scheduled for oct 12!

Thanks everyone! I got the packet in the mail and I have to do liquids 12pm the day before. I’m planning on doing at least a week of liquids to jump start and get myself ready for post op.

I got my information today I have to start all liquids at 12pm the day before surgery. I personally think I’m going to do a 2 week liquid diet to get myself in the mindset for surgery

He does require a pre op diet. You have to loose 5% before he approves you for surgery but he doesn’t do a liquid diet.

I have been on a low carb diet sense my initial appointment. My surgeon has a % you have to loose before he will approve you for surgery. I have lost well over mine and am down 40 lbs! I know he doesn’t do the 10 day pre op like some surgeons so I’m sure I’ll get my instructions the week before surgery. I just wanted to know what it entailed to prepare. You need to do a colon cleanse too right??

My Dr doesn’t require the liquid fast prior to surgery.... so what do you eat before surgery?? I am clueless and I see the Np a week from wed (a week before surgery) so I guess we will go over it then??
