Hello All - day 1 of liquid diet!



Recommended Posts

I'm brand new to this site- and I'm quite excited! I've been approved and will have my surgery 4/29/08 early in the morning! :lol: So, today was day 1 of that "famous" liquid diet, I'm doing ok, but do know it will be tough to stay focused! Not to mention being on it after the op. I want to know how many pounds you all lost during this process(liquid diet)? I see people that say that in a month and 1/2 they've only lost like 15 lbs. and that worries me :biggrin:

I think 15 pounds in a month and a half is pretty good but I know some have lost more. I have my consult with the surgeon and my psych eval on this comming Monday 4-21. I hope I get to the liquid diet stage soon but I think they'll probably put me on the dreaded 6 month diet. Keep us posted on how you are doing. I have Dr. Hilario Juarez with Bridges of Arizona. Who is your Doc?

15 pounds in a month and 1/2??? that would be a great weight loss.

we didnt put the weight on overnight, cant really expect to take it off that quickly.

I wish I could lose 15 pounds in a month and 1/2..:tongue:

That is actually very good seeing as most people lose about 1-2 pounds a week. Some lose a little more some a little less.

So don't let that get discouraged. Just stick to your Dr's plan and keep reading the boards here for support from everyone.:biggrin:

      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.
