HKMOM 12 Posted July 10, 2014 Hi all, I am on day 3 of my pre op diet and have only lost 1.4 pounds, hope to see a bigger drop tomorrow. The dr only wanted me to lose 5 to 7 lbs before surgery. I am sure I can do it. I have been having lots of stomach cramps today and Constipation. My surgery is on the 15thmin Los Angeles at usc keck. We have to be there at 5:15 am for surgery at 7:15. This is going to sound totally silly but I am really looking forward to not going to work and taking naps. Cheryl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mamabear9402 2 Posted July 10, 2014 July 29th here, i may as well be in the August category. Did 6 months of dietitian visits kept 14 lbs off. I'm sure i'll lose a bunch more during the pre-op 2 week liquid phase that i start next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alyssaajoan 36 Posted July 10, 2014 Well I'm home. It has been ok. I was in a pretty good amount of pain the first 24 hours but morphine always helps. I'm getting down my Water have had 1/2 a Popsicle twice today. I feel that is progress. I'm now off all pain meds just some liquid baby Motrin. It helps with soreness. All in all I believe it was successful. I will post more updates for you guys. <br><br> Denise Sizemore I had my surgery on Monday and you seem like you're already doing better than me!
