Hi Everyone-

I look forward to getting to know you all.

Peace~

I am being banded on February 7th too! I can't wait. I started my pre op liquid diet on Monday? It hasn't really been that tough. Except when you have to watch someone else eating. :) good luck and let's keep in touch with our struggles.

Hi There-

I am also doing ok with the pre op diet. Mine doesn't seen as strict as many of the others. I am not on all liquid. Mine is very low/no carb, high Protein and lots of veggies. I do also drink 2 shakes a day. 1x for Breakfast and 1x as a snack. So far so good.

Best of luck to you and I will be thinking of you on 2/7...let's stay in touch and help each other out...This is going to be a huge life change and I want all the help and support I can get...and I will be there to help and support you too.

Enjoy the day!

Ally

Wow! That is so great that you get to eat a little bit of other carbs and Proteins. I am on my 9th day of all liquids. I have 4 or 5 shakes a day and lots of Water. I have had some carrots and tomatoes too because I need to chew and that was approved by my surgeon. Other than that...nothing. I really don't think it has really sunk in yet that it's THIS Monday. How are you doing?

      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!!

      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?

      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... :(
