My surgery is on Wednesday . I can't wait . Only thing that sucks are these liquid diets . But one positive thing about this two week liquid diet was I lost 15 pounds ( after gaining from my last weigh in) glad to be down to 219 .

I just found out this morning at my pre op visit. I thought since I'm one of his smallest patients, I would only have to do a week. This was unexpected. I would have pigged out yesterday [emoji35]

You're so close!! I have some information that says I can choose between all liquid OR 2 liquids and 1 meal. A few days ago I tried starting the ALL liquid....didn't cut it for me so yesterday I had 2 liquid, then for dinner steamed broccoli and chicken breast. However, today and tomorrow I'm shooting for ALL liquids (Water and Protein shakes). I know it sounds funny but I just want my body to be in the best shape it can be in for this surgery (Thurs) which hopefully means my liver is shrinking!!. Good Luck to you and keep us posted!! :)

Hey there surgery buddy! Mine's on Wednesday too.

I only had to do a week of an official pre-op diet, but I started cutting way back on calories and sugar on the 1st. I'm down 10 pounds since the first, so the misery has been worth it. Tomorrow, however, is the clear fluids only day. I am NOT looking forward to that! Especially since I didn't take the day off work!

I thought the same thing . Especially since everyone says I'm on the smaller spectrum of Bariatric patients . I didn't even have to do any type of dieting during my whole 6 months . I just find it weird that there are people that are 300 or 400 pounds and they do the two week liquid diet for their liver . I would just assume their livers would be bigger . It confuses me .

I'm on day 4 and haven't cheated at all... Not so much due to willpower as much as I want to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible. I'm having a 3-part surgery: RNY, hernia repair and gallbladder removal. So I just don't want any complications. In a nutshell, I'm too scared to cheat. Lol

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
