Hello all.. I am an August 27th sleever.. I like this smaller post... The other one I read is up to 40 something pages? Hard to keep up ith it!

I don't start my liquid diet until 8/17, but I have already stocked up on Protein shakes and beverages from Dr. A's list. I haven't been emotional.. YET.. but I did tear up a little when I started reading those 15 emails from Susan.. it was REAL then. I think it was nervous tears because I am going alone and the thought of coming out of sedation and not seeing a family member shook me up a little. BUT, I know this is what I need to do....

So sorry about the strep throat. My son gets it and it is so horrible. My Dr that treated him says you have to carry the strep bacteria in your body to get it. The rest of our family does not get it but he can be just NEAR someone and get it. Hope the meds help you feel better super quickly!! R>E>S>T -_-

I think you are doing great considering. And I think it's just fantastic that Dr. A was checking on ya.

I know I won't regret my decision and I know this is best for me, but imam in that phase that I am questioning myself if I can really do this. This question is only coming up cause my days are ghastly flying by. All is good. No backing out. I am ready for a New Me!!!

I just hope that I have lost enough and did well on my diet that it shrunk my liver.

      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! 😞
