My doctor did not put me on a pre opt diet. They told me to eat what I wanted and have that glass of wine if I want. Hmmmmmm.....

Did you lose more weight than they wanted you to before your surgery?

Well they didn't tell me I needed to lose. Prior to my first visit I had just ended a round of HCG so I had just lost like 15lbs. I also knew that I would gain a few pounds after that diet. But I gained a few and lost a few in the past three weeks. I have started exercising and "clean eating". My pre op appt is on Monday so we shall see.

I am excited about the possibilities. I have a friend who lost 177 lbs in one year. She's the size I want to be that is what I am excited about now. I hope the rest will come as time goes on.

Yes you will. I was never worried because there was so much pre surgery testing I felt confident that everything would go well. I am one week post op as of tomorrow everything is going great. You will be fine.

      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! 😞
