Starting To Get A Bit Nervous. Surgery On Tuesday



Recommended Posts

I am nervous and excited all at the same time. but hearing people say they haven't lost much weight or there hungry all the time makes me nervous. I am hoping this works, I have been working so hard. but the hunger is what scares me.

Just make sure to get enough Protein and drink/eat before you get crazy hungry. I find if I let myself get too hungry, all sanity is out the window.

Yeah I do really well. I get the munchies at night but it is head hunger not real hunger. I drink Water to curb it or a diet soda cause it kinda bloats me a bit which makes me not want to eat. I have lost 40 lbs. I was banded 3-1-12. If I can do it anyone can!

Some drs are ok with diet soda, some are not. I have one once in awhile. I just dip slowly and enjoy it. As long as it doesn't keep me from drinking enough Water I have no guilt

I was nervous about the same issues...but I am now 5wks out and doing great..On any regular diet you can feel like you are starving, but then on a regular diet, you can end up binging, and then starting back at square one..This way, you get your fills, and keep going..Life is still going to happen, so it will not be like you will never eat certain foods again if this is your choice, but it will get easier to let it go...You can do it!!!!!! :D

      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! 😞
