Dec 6 Surgery

Hi all I'm having Surgery Dec6 with Dr Milic and am half way though the preop diet.every day is up and down , but its not about being hungry its about the head game of food, I havn't been hungry really at all just get a bit *****y when I need fuel. I have a very hard time going out, no coffee no food no fun I guess :-q

Congrats on your surgery date.  The time will go by very quickly, and then the weight starts to drop off, without hunger issues.  I had my RNY on October 3rd, and am down 89 pounds, already.  GOOD LUCK & keep in Touch.

The liquid diet is only the beginning!!  And I found at some points it was the hardest part.  Just keep focused on the goal of the surgery and you will do it!!!!  Good luck with your surgery and can't wait to welcome you to the looser's bench.

Hi. I think we have the same surgeon (Dr. Malik in Victoria). Is it true he requires a 4 week pre-op liquid diet?

I was so surprised when he offered me surgery that I wasn't sure whether it was pre-op or post-op (or perhaps 1/2 and 1/2).

Good luck with everything!

Yes he does I am on day 26 and have lost 22 pds , only 9 days to go , when is your date. you can email Dr Milic's assistant Sherri anytime she will tell you everything you need to know. the pre op is only ensure and water.

Alas, I don't have a date yet as I still need to get the endoscopy done which Sherri says will likely be booked in January or February.  She said referral letters were sent out to the dietician and endocrinologist, too. 

Congrats on your 22 pound loss! 

I read your blog - it's great!  Love your photos but sad to read about the passing of your dog.  Have you tried thinning out the Ensure/Glucerna with water?  Maybe that will make it easier to get down.

Thanks Cathrine, We miss him so much
