Lesss than 2 weeks out and I'm fitting into my clothes like a pro. Even my sneakers fit lovely. Thy use to hurt a lot if I wanted in them too long but now they fit so comfortable! My button ups use to be tight around the belly area, guess what??? They are even loose when I sit down lol... Everybody knows if the shirt is tight standing up it even tighter sitting down lol... I'm feeling grateful for this sleeve. I still have the heartburn and upset stomach dilemma but it's getting better day by day... Btw I have this crazy craving for something carbonated lol... Any way my last day of full liquids is Monday then I start mushy foods in over 3 and a half weeks!

Congrats on you accomplishment so far!! Have you asked your doc for some protonix or other meds for your heartburn? I use to have lots of acid and took protonix daily after surgery, now I only take them if needed. Again congrats.

Thats awesome! Congratulations on you success so far! :D

So how is it? The liquid part of the diet? I'm finishing up my pre-op doctor qualifications next week and should be scheduling my big day in a week or two. I'm so ready and very excited to the show on the road. The part I'm looking least forward to right now, is the liquid diet the week pre-surgery.

Any tips and things to be aware of that you wish you prepared for?

I am on the pre op liquid diet...and its hard. Don't let anybody lie to you. My surgeon gave me a list of things I can eat. And then an hourly guide...like at 9am drink this many ounces of this...etc etc. I am sooo grateful for this schedule...I move things around but make sure I don't eat more or less than what the hourly schedule says and I have been doing ok...I bought sugar free popsicles last night and man oh man!! They taste sooo good right now!! My advice is get a magic bullet. When I get sick of the Protein shakes I will blend them with ice and have myself a smoothie!!

Would you mind sharing that guide with me? I haven't been drinking my Protein Shakes as I am suppose to, all because I forget that I have to eat. My email is marcelleg_18@yahoo.com. And thanks

Jimmy, Congratulations!!! You're already seeing results, which is so wonderful!! Don't give in to the urge for something carbonated. Do check with your doctor about an acid reducer and/or a nausea medicine. You'll be amazed at how much better you feel as soon as you start taking them. Are you allowed Decaf tea or coffee right now? If so, maybe a cup of one would help with the idea that you need soda.

I love that you're already looking for those NSV's! I'm gonna turn every one of the newbies into NSV ho's like me! :)

Congrats...keep up the good work. I thought I wanted carbonated drinks, then I had a sip of apple juice. It was watered down and still so freaking sweet. I cant imagine drinking sugar...I mean soda. Lol.

      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! 😞
