Day 2 went well and i actually got some rest last night.

Today is day 3 and my stomach is confused! it's making all sorts of sounds. LOL I had a Protein shake for Breakfast and I've been sipping on Isopure. I'm finding it hard to focus without food.

For me day 2-3 was the hardest. I made it though and it's a lot simpler now. I realized during this process I am a compulsive eater, and I now can control it because of this pre op diet. When my husband and I go to dinner or lunch I make better choices. Today makes 2 weeks I'm on pre op. I know I lost some lbs I can feel it Patiently waiting for my banding day! Hang in there you can do it

I'm also really loving it, kbush - for sure sometimes i'm a little grumpy and i really can't stand to have aromatic food around me (my husband has taken to eating most of his meals out of the house) but i feel so much more in control right now, and a lot of my old cravings are gone. i just feel on-fire with this all being the right decision for me.

My husband told me not to cook anymore because the food i cook is nasty...LOL! i'm WAS so used to tasting everything i cooked but now im not. So, Im guessing it does taste a little different.

That is too funny ! I'm recovering at my moms and she made this taco salad and I just went to the back of the house. My mother in law is in town so she's filling the fridge up with food for my husband . Thanks mom!

I would start tomorrow, rather than today. One day will not make a difference, I cheated on my preop and did fine.

I am 6:30am in thurs too!

Meanwhile my husband just committed the ultimate atrocity. He brought McDonalds home and then fell asleep so there was a quarter pounder in my living room. There was 4 seconds when I thought "I'm just gonna have it" but insist give in. And I didn't want it sitting somewhere teasing me, and since I'm so mad he brought it home I gave it to the dog. Serves him right.

      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.

        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... :(
