I am in the UK and have been told to do milk with extra milk powder in it.

Other have reported that we wont get the 'full feeling' until we can start on real food

How are you doing ?

Me. Have you a pre op diet to do. I am so fed up with mine and such a long time to go yet

I am 8 days into my 21 days and am struggling. Everyone says its a rough ride and it is. I need to be better prepared, Good luck

If you scroll down the forums, there is a special one just for Mexico

Yes I too gained weight during covid. About 25 lbs, My surgery is 24th and I have been on my pre op diet 8 days. I am loosing at least pound a day which is a bonus. I am prepared with lots to do. Sewing, jigsaws, books etc, My diet is not as bad as yours sounds but its hard enough. You will get through it because you need to get your surgery done. Keep talking to people on here it does help. There are thousands of people on here who have done your diet and survived. Just reach out

You just are not ready, step away and in a while reconsider, It happens you were overwhelmed. Forgive yourself

So glad you had a up day. You deserve it.

Onwards and downwards. Good luck tomorrow

The old fashioned way to deal with them is to tie cotton around them a wait till they drop off. You can buy a kit online that is similar but it uses teeny tiny elastic bands, In my opinion you need someone to do it for you, { even though the online kit says you can do it yourself } If you stick a band aid over it, you can forget it for a week then have a look,

I have been reading past posts for months and it seems some doctors like to really pump in the water so you dont suffer dehydration in the early days of recuperation. Stay off the scale if you can. The process will work

Read as many of these back pages as you can, They are super informative. Good luck. I go 2 days after you

Wow thats a amazing amount of weight to drop in a week, How long do you do it for ? I am 21 days and on day 4. What is your regime ? Mine is a quart of milk, ff Yogurt, non carb veg and 3 pieces of fruit a day

I have told my Husband of 46 years and my only child. I also told my best friend who knows me from school days, we have no secrets

I have no restriction on my pre op tea and coffee. I am truly thankful for that. I love regular coffee and it would be the hardest thing to give up

Hope all goes well, Keep us updated

Fingers crossed you will get home soon, Sounds like you earned a break. Take care

Wow, You look amazing. A true transformation. Well done

Yes I feel the same, I have waited a long time for this chance. Bring it on.

Congratulations, you have done amazing. I dont know what to think about robotic surgeons. Its a bit like driverless trains and pilotless airplanes. If I were having that procedure, I dont want to know until after the event. Keep walking and everything will improve.

I just want to be amongst people again and not feel so fat. I am staying home too much these days

What does your doctor allow you and for how long ? Big hugs. I am in your place next week
