Looking for a May 10th surgery buddy



Recommended Posts

Hi! I’m 5/10 as well! Day 7 of the Optifast diet today. Down 8 pounds so far. Didn’t lose any between yesterday and today, but I’m drinking at least 92 oz of Water a day so I expected this to happen. Just had my EGD this morning and everything is beautiful. No hernias or polyps or anything. Ready for the next 6 days to be gone and start joining the losers bench lol

Hi everyone,
I’m having rny on May 10th. I’m on day three of my liquid pre op diet. I’ll admit to be really tempted to eat some food. I cannot be in the same room with my husband/kids while they’re eating dinner. Too many temptations.
Best of luck to all of you.


Hi hun I'm scheduled for may 10th in Southern Cali.
I hope you are doing well with you liquid diet. Today has been the easiest day for me. 6 more days until surgery yay!!

Thank you!!! I didn’t lose any weight for 2 days, now I’m down another pound. I figure as long as I stay on the diet, I’ll be ok weight loss or not. Ive heard some people actually gain weight on the pre-op because of all the Water. But I’m feeling so much healthier already since I’ve lost 54 pounds since last August. Easier to move and a1c way down.
Your 10 pounds is incredible! Awesome job!

I’m from Kingsport, TN. Can’t believe we are less than a week! My pre-op appointment is Monday. I don’t know how much (if any) that I’ve lost since starting pre-op diet because I haven’t even gotten a new scale yet. Mine quit working. 😝 I feel like I’ve lost though.

The day is approaching quickly. I’m down 10 lbs and as ready as I can be for surgery on Thursday. Message me if you want to keep in contact during the journey. This forum can get so congested sometimes. I wouldn’t mind having a “pen pal”.

Mine is tomorrow! I've just tried to stay busy and only drinking Water and lemonade, now the Jello and Protein Shakes and broth was unappealing to me. and I had some issues. :) I found as long as you don't smell the food i have no real crazy hunger. Happy about that! I'm ready and will look for everyone who is having it this week in the forums to see how we are all doing.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
