My doctor is sick and cancelled all of his surgeries today. SO frustrated, but it just must not be meant to be for me to have it. Oh well! Life goes on and I will try to do MFP again. Good luck everyone!

Im on day 3 of preop diet and I havent ate my arm, the dog, or my youngest child. Don't get nervous or doubt your self. You never know your strength until your tested. Mind over matter. you can do this. Attitude is everything. :)

I was nervous about the pre-op, too ... I actually pushed myself and started it earlier then when my doc wanted me to because I was afraid of messing up! I used the first week of pre-op to test out diff. shakes and routines.

If I learned anything, it is that I can do this ... that my focus is tight and that I have to trust my body is 'full' of nutrition, even when I wish it was 'full' of my favorite foods. Here I am now, 1 day left before surgery and I'm down 20 pounds! I don't know how typical that is or not, but pre-op went from being a fear and hesitation, to an accomplishment and motivation. :D

Does this mean you are not getting the surgery at all ?

LOL!!! Ok' date=' that kinda grossed me out and made me laugh all at the same time! Thanks for the giggle, Mike![/quote']

My nutritionist was dead serious when she told me about that. I do believe, however, in the interests of medical advancement, that there should be clinical trials concerning this. I would be willing to take one for the team. LOL

      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! 😞
