Congrats. I had mixed emotions when I finally got my surgery date. I feel sometimes mines was easy cuz I'm self pay and didnt have to jump through all the hoops insurance companies make people go through. Anyhow, I start my pre-op diet on may 9th, go for barium swallow and EKG on may 6th, surgery date may 20th. I'm so excited, i hope this next 5 weeks flys by!

You have nothing but a great life ahead. Best decision ever.

Tips tried and true as you prepare:

Read on these sites every minute you can.

Take your measurements NOW and then every month. Trust me you will need this later

Start chewing and chewing and cheweing now

Do not drink with your meals starting now.

Remove "questionable" foods from your home

Tell lots of people so you will have the support

Make a list of things you can not do now that you plan to do later

Make a list of ways you will reward yourself for the small goals and then big goals

Be reasonable on your expectations discuss this with your surgeon, our plan is usally more aggressive then theit plan for us. They have done this awhile and know what they are talking about

Prepare, plan and then succeed.

This is a wonderful time to plan for a long and happy future. Best of luck to you and keep us posted and use this site as a resource. ASK ASK ASK, that is the benefit of these sites.

      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! 😞

        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... :(
