My surgery is May 7. I started the 3 week pre-surgery diet today. I've started purchasing the supplements needed for after surgery. Looking for those after surgery "must have's", besides the supplements.

Surgery date for me is May 19! I’m eager to begin this journey :)

To everyone who has responded....thanks, lets keep in touch and get a good start to our journey. I look at this surgery as a new volume in my book, not a new chapter. I'm not looking back and I will be able to not only lose weight to feel better, but I will be able to get the much needed hip replacement.

I'm due to have surgery on the 12th of May, signed my consents today, got my pre-op class done and met with the surgeon and he was quite pleased with my weight loss and my A1c both have gone down.

I'm just as eager to get rolling on this new journey. What is next is the clear liquid diet a few days before surgery as they found I do not need to be on a liver reduction diet.

I have my supplements as instructed, I have Protein Water for after surgery. We have 4 days of Clear Liquids only, then we can go on a soft diet, we don't have a puree, which is a blessing, I can't imagine eating chicken in a puree form, can't have meet until day 11. I'm taking this seriously, and will follow all the rules. I think I am more excited than anything for the 12th of May to come.

Ealbers, you are right on track, let's get on with the journey.

CJPom, you are first on the list being May 7th, let us know how you are doing post surgery.

Jena, we will do this as a team, let's keep each other motivated!!!

Congratulations to everyone! Every week, find a win other than is on the scale. Don't check your weight every day, it will fluctuate as your body adjusts and changes. Find other wins to Celebrate, but don't stop celebrating. This is not just weight loss, but it is a metabolic shift in our bodies. Movement is important so let's keep walking.

Hi, my operation is on the 25th may, I started the liver reduction diet today and dreading it. My local NHS hospital has given me a very small list of food to have for 3 weeks and not a lot of information. I finished a weight loss injection last week because it wasn't agreeing with me so my appetite is coming back too 🤣 such bad timing haha. How did people's surgeries go recently?

[KarenS2025 3]

Tbh mine went great, like no pain, no gas issues, went home and following day went in for my iv treatment and again no pain or issues.

hope everyone else that is having surgeries in May have a good outcome.

My 3 week liver reduction diet consisted of Proti brand foods/shakes. Don't really recommend! Breakfast consisted of a proti packet, which was usually oatmeal. Then a proti packet for an am snack. For lunch it was a another Proti packet, and a second option of either 1/2 cup of cottage cheese, 2 eggs, 2 oz of lean meat, or a 2nd packet of Proti. Mid day snack, Proti. For dinner, it was 2 oz of lean meat, a starch and a fruit. Additionally, I could have all of the veggies I wanted, as well as sugar free Jello, popsicles.

Proti shakes are only decent if you're able to mix them with a milk frother and add ice. The Soup noodles had a weird texture, so I always picked them out. The oatmeals were just ok. The blueberry pancakes I was not a fan of.

Tomorrow starts my clear liquid diet and surgery on Wednesday. Excited to be on the other side of this.

I’m having surgery May 15th. I did not need to do a preop diet. I just need to stay at the required goal weight. I am 5’5, 219 40 years old. Anyone out there starting out like me? Care to share?

My Sadi isn’t till June 2nd. I would love some folks who have Sadi to commiserate with! I’m 5’10, age 44 and sw 365 cw 329 gw 200. I do my preop class tomorrow. Excited and a bit scared. I’m currently making my list of all my grievances with being obese to cheer myself on when it gets hard. # 1 Turn-styles!!!
