I'm on day 4 of the diet' date=' and it has def gotten better. Last night I found myself near tears and irritable, to the point where I could even talk to my boyfriend because he had eaten pizza and I could smell it.[/quote']

I am convinced day 3 is the worst. I had a meltdown that day too, but now feel a bit more stable. Lol. Hang in there girl!

Glad the liquid diet is going well for you guys so far!

Michele, I am really excited for you!! One day away from a fresh start. :)

People on the liquid diet - is anyone else having Constipation? I'm sorry if that's TMI.

Today I start my 7 day of living hell 1000 calorie diet... I'm dreading carb n sugar withdrawal! My plan is to take lots of sleeping pills this week so I'm not in my way or others way! Surgery is next Wednesday at 1345, WTF.... I have to wait u til mid day! Torture! And this doc makes u stay over night.. This doubly sucks! Hospitals are for sick people, I'm not sick I'm fat! I'm angry that I got this big again that I failed again! I'm angry that I have to redefine my relationship with food! I'm 39 no kids in a LTR we eat out a lot I go out with my girls a lot how do I be social? I loce wine, enjoy all elements of wine culture, hw do maintain that? fYI not an alcoholic I go weeks without wine but but I occasionly enjoy a robust glass of red! Grrrr so many things going through my mind can't sleep my anxiety is at 10+ can't wait til next Thursday when I'm home recovering so I can go back to work on Monday. Do you think it's ok to refuse morphine and other pain meds. I found out that I will leave the ER with morphine drip, but what I hear all of u say the pain is not that bad! I hatebeing180lbs! Can't wait to get my life back!

Hi Ryan! That is so exciting. It feels good to be close after waiting so long.[/quote']

Thank you yes two years sucked. I orignally enrolled back in 2010 then got laid off, the teamsters said I would have to pay cobra. Then at my new job I started the process over once again and had to wait 7 months this time but now I'm green lighted for surgery thank god.

      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... :(
