My surgery is on Monday June 25 and I honestly feel like backing out. Is this a normal feeling? I have my high and low moments and I’m afraid I might be making the worst decision of my life. I have been on a liquid diet for 8 days. I’m not sure if that’s starting to cloud my judgement, but I feel so conflicted at this moment.
Don't give up, your so close. Mines wens. I'm super grumpy, with no food. Lol. Finish line is almost there.

@idongo you got this!! I had the same feeling put I turned to this support group, YouTube and Instagram success stories and I knew it was my turn to live a healthy lifestyle. It’s more than losing weight it’s about saving your life. My primary care doctor advised me that my weight was going to be the death of me and that frightened hell out of me.

Hi everyone,

Just checking in. My surgery went off without a hitch at 1:30 on the 21st. I feel pretty good, no real gas pains. Dr. Corvala is wonderful, his whole team has been extremely supportive.

I emailed my NUT to see if I need to try to get some more calories. I definitely cannot do more than 1/4 cup of mushy food. I have tried to do a bit more a few times and was miserable. Let me know if your NUT changes anything for you. Wondering if I should be trying for a few more calories per day. I have lost about 11 pounds since surgery day and currently weigh 230.
I had my meeting with my nutritionnist this morning. She said 800 cals is fine, not too much, that it could be lower but not really to change anything major. The most important thing is to not eat food that is not nutritive or that we don't need.

I was able to get in touch with my NUT too. She said I’m right on track with calories. She said same about eating nutritional food. The goal is to get between 60-80g of Protein per day and my calories are fine for now. Though I must say I was closer to 600 calories yesterday and felt a little more energetic. I think I will shoot for 600 calories the next few days and see how that goes.

My surgery was yesterday. I’ve had horrific pain, but they also made a 4 inch mid abdominal incision to fix a large hernia. They don’t like to use opioids where I am 😩 they finally added something stronger than toradol today! It helped alit. But before that did think I was going to get through. Only sips of ice/water so far and it hurts. Some of you are doing so great. It gives me hope!

      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.
