Recommended Posts

I'd better be ready. IT'S TIME!

Just finished packing. Hubby and I are flying to San Antonio tomorrow to meet Dr Alvarez' driver who will take us to Eagle Pass. Then it's over the border for surgery Friday a.m.

I can't believe I'll be on The Other Side so soon! Yay me.

So excited! My passport came today! I also just attended the funeral of a friend who lost her battle with cancer and I realize that life is just too short to spend it overweight and unhappy. I've really enjoyed reading in this forum and getting all the positive motivation. Anyone else going to se Dr. Kelly on the 13th?

Mel, i hope you enjoy your vacation... have enough fun for too...

I was excited and looking forward to it until I heard about the lady who died with Dr. Kelly. Now, I'm nervous & scared. I imagine that I'll be going back & forth between all the feelings there are until it's over with. I get to go on vacation to the beach with some friends before I have to start the pre-op diet. So, I'll try my best to enjoy the end of the old me & get ready to welcome in the new me.

Got my date! My new life starts July 18th! I am so excited! I talked my doctor's office and they are letting me do part of my pre op this week. That means I can spend 4 days at the beach (once my daughter gets back from her mission trip) before I do my final pre op the 15th and start my new life tan and happy! :) Woo-Hoo! Put me on that list and make room on the losers' bench.

July 27 - 2 1/2 weeks away, I am more than ready! Just got to go shopping for broth, Iso Pure liquid Protein, SF Jello and popsicles! All equipment is bought: Magic Bullet, 3 cup food processor, digital food scale!

I am so excited and not nervous about the surgery at all! I have thoughts about life post surgery but nothing serious!

Yay us! We are all getting our lives together; healthier, thinner, sexier! We are all awesome!!!

      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! 😞
