Mine is Tuesday the 3rd, less than 48 hours!!! I'm scared but excited as well, more afraid of the pain after then the actual procedure itself. But some folks say its not to bad.

I am so lucky, my friends had a pool party for me yesterday, even though I could not enjoy cocktails with them and stuff from the grill. The overwhemling support they showed me brought tears to my eyes. I am a lucky guy. :P

Today is your Bday, I hope everything went well for you. When you get a chance please give us an update.

I started my liver reduction diet today. Protein Shakes aren't too bad and my doc allows me to have 4 - 1oz of Protein in addition. I got some string cheese to munch on.

I am going through caffeine withdrawl and have a massive headache. Can't wait till that ends. It's amazing how caffeine can effect you.

My surgery date is July 12' date=' so I'm looking for a band-buddy! Anybody having surgery July 12th?[/quote']

My surgery is July 12 th also....are you excited/ scared like me?

Any one getting psychotic on this pre op diet? I am constantly feeling like I am having a panic attack! Cant get interested in anything. Trouble concentrating. I am ready to take the gas pipe.

I am with Kathie. I feel the same way. It is affecting my mood. Really moody and anxious.

      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! 😞
