You have to have a lot of will power because my inlaws live Adel and I dont know what I am going to do next June without all that good cooking. Congrats on the weight loss. I havent weighed myself since Monday.

I have heard through the grape vine that sometimes an upper gi or colonoscopy might happen pee surgery. What kinds of tests did you guys have to do pre surgery?

Thanks! How was your recovery Corrigan?

I almost hate to talk about it any more, but I had absolutely no pain, I went home the next day and

we went for a 2 mile walk. Not everyone is that lucky, but you may be. Let me know. I like to hear

from folks who went to a CoE.

my surgery is set for 10/25, have been doing the 5 days liquid diet pre-op, which is going pretty well, a little easier than i expected. looking forward to having a few ppl that have already been there to get thru this.

Nice to meet you Roeroe! Would love to share this crazy journey with you. I don't yet have a date for surgery...just starting to jump through the hoops. I have been doing a self prescribed liquid diet during the day and a sensible dinner at night (well except for the night we had burritos from my favorite mexican place :) I have been doing his for he past 6 days and have lost 5 lbs. I guess I am just trying to pshyc myself up for the scary pre op liquid diet! What's your story?

The whole process was as easy as any I've ever done. I had no pain except for a little at incision

sites. So far I haven't experienced any down side. I hope it goes as well for you.

      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! 😞
