How did your pre-op diet work for you? How are you now feeling?

I see alot of people talking about their 3-week liquid diet before surgery. I'm glad I don't have to do that, but I do have to do the low carb for 2 weeks prior..it is definitely challenging, I miss sugar so much. They had a potluck at work today and I could smell allt he good food. I just ate my chicken and salad in silence. It's like a drug addiction, you have to seriously learn to get over your cravings. I'm so ready for surgery..April 5th!! Woo hoo, I can't wait. I'm hoping to buy a bathing suit by the end of the summer. :)

How are you doing? I had my lap band on June 8 by Dr. Quaid in Fort Collins. I'm down 13...slow but steady.

      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.

      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! 😞
