I was going to reach out to her tomorrow and see what she says. I weigh, measure & log everything I eat & drink, so to say I'm frustrated is an understatement. My biggest worry is that he'll open me up, see a big, fat liver, and close me right back up ... and I still have to pay. Lol

I'm on my 7th day of my 14 day pre-op diet and have lost exactly nothing. I've had no trouble adhering to it, have been getting in my 30 minutes of exercise in daily, but my scale hasn't budged. No movement in muscle or Water or body fat, either. Is this even possible? Lol
My surgery is a week from tomorrow and I'm really second-guessing myself. I feel like I'm going to be spending thousands of dollars on this DS surgery to lose 10lbs. If I'm lucky.

I’m so sorry your having problems with your preop weight loss. It can be frustrating when taking this huge step forward in your health journey.

i don’t know what surgery you’re going to have but with bypass not only does it restrict but your body doesn’t absorb all of the calories you take in. So that also helps. I don’t know much about the sleeve cause I knew I wanted the bypass from day one.

also please don’t be worried about the future. With your surgery if you follow the guidelines set by your surgeon and nutritionist then you are going to see results more than 10lbs. Keep a positive attitude and the faith. Also give yourself a hug and pat on the back for coming this far and taking charge for a healthier life.

6/21 for me.
Pre-op for me is 2 weeks of 2 Protein Shakes, 1 small low carb meal for dinner starting 6/7.
Last history & physical appointment with surgeon on 6/10.
Covid test not required anymore at *my* hospital if vaccinated. Did have one for EGD, though.
My first consultation appointment was 4/7

OOTD putting up 140’ of fence with husband version. 😂
Note my pale, veiny knees/thighs and compression sleeves for my calves. Husband LOVES this look 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

10 days, but it's a televisit. That seems kind of a weird way to meet a surgeon/doctor I've never met before but we'll see.

Hm... Well, my two cents... I am very happily married to a GEM of a man who has put his foot in his mouth far worse than that without a CLUE that what he said was hurtful. So, you might cut hubs some slack in that regard. HOWEVER... I can't get past the info you've shared... marriage "rough" after one year? Plus your significant life-changing weight loss... plus afraid to discuss a comment that hurt your feelings with your husband for fear of an argument? Me-thinks this is about something bigger than the comment (that while perhaps was insensitive just sounds like he was trying to come up with a spontaneous, clever response). Maybe it's time to start visualizing what life looks like without him. Sending you strength.

I hate the word "pouch."
There, I've said it. I feel better now.
Yes, I know doctors use the word.
No, I don't have a better word.
I just don't like it.🤣

I haven't posted here in a while. Here's my contribution..lol
