Welcome Thick2slim! Glad you found us, LOL. I am scheduled for the 27th of Dec. right after Christmas. I have also wondered how much I will lose and how quickly. It seems that there are all kinds of results depending on the amount of effort you put in. I plan to make the best of it. I've tried so many other diets and I am ready to get rid of this weight once and for all.

I'm scheduled for 12/5! So happy! They said to start my pre-op diet the day after thanksgiving. It needs to get here quick because I keep "treating" myself and I don't want to gain more weight to have to lose... Ugh.

We get banded the same day! I start my liquid diet the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We can be "Band Buddies"!

I'm in Florida. The only Christmas food I really think will bother me is the actual Christmas dinner. Other than that, a 2 week liquid diet is what scares the heck out of me!

Hi all, I am in Australia and am scheduled for surgery on the 20th. My birthday was last week so this is the best birthday and christmas present to myself EVER. Very excited. Please all chime back after your surgeries so we know how you are doing and to share your experiences.

      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! 😞
