The opening is nothing more wonderful. I am a new member. I feel interesting to see the name of this subject.

I want to change my body to become members of the forum. A friend introduced me to this forum. And that is a priceless gift that I received from him.

I am so excited that we found each other on here!! I go in at 6am in the morning too. St. Patricks Hospital in Missoula Montana. Surgery should start around 7:30am. 2 1/2 hours for the surgery...then recovery and they said my hubby will be able to take me home by around 1 or 2 pm. The hospital is only 20 miles from our home in Clinton, Montana. This is going to be the longest week of my life...lol.

Good luck... just wanted to let you know that the liquid diet does get easier... I was on it for 3wks pre-op..I started a wk early just to make sure I could do it... 2wks post-op, Now I only have 3 more days of liquids before I advance to mushys...Try to mix it up and don't just drink 1 flavor of Protein or you will get sick of it quickly! Campbells low-fat Cream of chicken Soup is great.. and don't forget your sugar free popsicles!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
