Only liquids the day before is a blessing. I didn't have to, but I did it voluntarily.

The thought of doing a BM after that surgery seemed REALLY painful to me, and I luckily thanks to only liquids, I never had to.

This is standard with most doctors. I had one week of liquid diet prior to surgery and then the one day of clear liquids only. I had to start mine the day before Thanksgiving. But I would do it all over again to get where I am right now. I have lost a total of 51 lbs since I started my journey and 43 since surgery. I was sleeved on Dec 1st. I can say i am halfway to goal and only 2 months out. This has been an awesome journey so far.

      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! 😞
