Wow. Today makes one month since I started my 10 day preop diet. I was 401. Lost 16 pounds in that 10 days but I never want to have Soup again. Had surgery on the 10th and have lost 25 pounds in that 3 weeks. I just ate my usual Breakfast, 4 oz of scrambled egg beaters and I'm totally full. I love getting full so easy. This time last month it would have taken a pan of buttered down biscuits and about 6 pieces of bacon to do the job. Or more likely, 3 chicken biscuits from Chikfila and a large coke.

I started soft foods a week ago and since then I feel great. The doc upped my calories but I continue to loose weight because my energy level has gone through the roof. I'm headed out now for a 2 mile hike in the woods with the dogs.

Well I just wanted to say how glad I am that I had this surgery.

CONGRATS! I am a little confused but that's ok. Have you had your surgery or are you on your pre-opt diet? You have done really well on losing weight. Twenty five lbs in 3 weeks is nothing to sneeze at! :D

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
