Wow, 30 days!! I am on a 2 week Protein diet (3 shakes, 2 bars, certain veggies)...am on day 10 today and it's really hit me how tired I am. I think the pre op diet is key in that it helps us mentally and physically prepare for limited food intake. By the time we have our surgery and are "forced" to limit our food, we'll be pros!!

In other news...August 6th is right around the corner!! My anxiety level gets a little higher every day. Today someone brought in a box of donuts and I have to admit, it was REALLY difficult not to dive head first and inhale.

Yeah for us August sleevers!! We are gonna be HAWT come next summer!! :D

I feel your pain!!! Being at work when they bring "real" food in, is a KILLER!!! Yep, 30 days, trying to decrease the size of my liver! Will have been on it for 2 weeks come Monday....then only 2 more weeks to go!!! Surgery is on the 22nd of Aug. GO ME!!! I will not cheat!!! LOL I have to look at the big picture!!

Ready for the NEW ME!!!

My date is august 25th in fountain valley

Hi Krystal24...I work in Fountain Valley!! I'm guessing you will be over at OC Memorial. How exciting. My date is coming up super quick...this Monday the 6th. Oddly, the surgeons I go to in Newport Beach choose to work out of Tri City in Hawaiian Gardens. Go figure. But I can't complain because that is much closer to home for me (I live in Signal Hill).

2 more days left of the Protein diet, then Sunday is all "clear" liquid day, then Monday is the day! Whoo hooo!!!

On Day #11...and there are brownies in the break room. AND I'm starving!! The hardest part over the past 2 weeks has been trying to maintain my workout routine while consuming less than 1000 calories a day. It's crazy. I have found that my mental state has become WAY more taxed. But I just need to make it through the weekend. Monday is surgery day and I'm ready for it to be here!!

Just got the call from the hospital. My check in time is at 6am this Monday!! I knew my day would be 8/6, but wasn't sure if they would take me in the morning or afternoon. Can I tell you how relieved I am that it will be in the AM!!! It will make the day before a little less painful with having to be on only Clear liquids. I will for sure savor every last drop of my last Protein shake Saturday night. :lol:

I only stay the one night in the hospital. Will hopefully be home and recuperating in my own bed by Tuesday afternoon.

In other news, I hopped on the scale and it looks like of the 20 lbs I gained over the past 3 months, I lost 15 of them, which makes me appreciate the pre op diet that much more.

So excited!! :P

      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... :(
