Last visit with the nutritionist yesterday. I start my 10 day liquid diet on Saturday. Somebody was talking about lasts a couple pages back. The only thing I really wanted for sure was steak, and I got that last weekend. Now I'm just trying to get all the food out of the house that I know I won't be able to eat for a long while, lol!

Is anyone else know they are getting their gallbladder taken out at the same time as surgery? I've been wondering about the gallbladder, and whether taking it out would help with potential acid reflux after...

I was thinking the same thing. I am tempted to emailing my dr. to ask him if he will remove it.

I was told that gallbladder would be removed only if it was known issue with it. otherwise not.

It does make sense. I didn't email him. I figured that he would've told me if it was going to do it.

Scheduled for Sept 6th! Tentative because my husband is a cancer patient...I have to be strong to help him with whatever comes from his recent tests.

Starting the liquid diet on Monday anyways, just to make sure I can have the surgery if all works out!

      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
