Congrats mcday! My surgery got bumped from 11am to 1pm. Not sure if its because of the weather or if another emergency surgery bumped me off. So I don't need to be at there until 11am.

Thank you Banjo257! How was your diet after? I know everyone is different.

Current pre-op wt 344

Approx 400 to 500 cals for two weeks.

Protein Shake, greek yogurt, eggbeater scrambled, sf popsicle, sf Jello pudding, and sip crystsl light all day long!

But several are surprised I can have anything but liquids. Guess my doc is a rebel!

It is so nice to go to LBT and hear so much happiness.

TV news is so sad, but here there is hope and new beginnings.

Do your best, even on the hard days. Dedicate your efforts to the brave women who lost their lives to help the children.

Day 2 post-op … found the guts to take pics of my 'wounds' and posted them. I think they look pretty good! No swelling or redness. Gas pain in shoulder is still there, but overall it has been a great day. Hubby helped me into the shower and then I was able to remove the dressings. I'm guess the bigger puncture/cut is where my port is located.

How is everyone else doing?? :D

Sorry...preop diet day one.

Don't beat yourself up too much … tomorrow is a new day … BUT … stick w/ the program. This journey does not begin w/ the day of surgery … it begins now. I mapped out my foods as per all the info my doc and nutritionalist gave me on my blog.

This is a wonderful time of year for Soups … use them to add flavor and maintain your 'liquid' diet. Everyone is different; however, I lost 20 pounds on the pre-op diet … it's a rough road, but worth the travel! You can do this!!! :D

Tomorrow is a new day pumpkin. I have faith in you.

I can't believe this but I'm starting to get sick. Sore throat and all the other goodies that come with a cold.

I'm so doomed.

      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! 😞
