Thank you for wishing me the best' date=' No not really nervous a little concerned about the "unknown" that comes with surgery but ultimately no worries. Ive been told that my pre-op diet will be a "liquid meal plan" consisting of Meal Replacement shakes like Carnation Instant Breakfast, Slim Fast, Ensure , Boost, and Gluecerna limit to 1000-1200 calories a day and to consume only 64 oz of calorie free, caffeine free beverages each day. This will occur 7-10 days before surgery day at which I haven't received notice yet I will be told or giving surgery day on November 28th. I'll share date as soon as its told to me!!!

Again Thanks and best wishes to you as well,[/quote']

A few more days to go and you will know your date.....I know you are on pens and needles. My count down has started and I have 16 more days.

How's the patient? I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Hello, I'm doing good. My Thanksgiving was great. I went to my sisters house and I drank my shake with no problem while they enjoyed the wonderful food. I was so proud of my self. Today is my first day of soft foods. I had a egg and I mad a bad decision when I chose fruit. I purchased pineapple not thinking about how tough the meat would be to chew. So I'm off to the store later the day.

My thanksgiving was wonderful, and now I am looking forward to surgery and the unknown that come along with it.

I was very nervous about the unknown after the surgery. So far the unknown for me is uneventful. Just planing what to eat. I don't care for leftovers so I was struggling with my list I can eat. I'm good now. I go back to work on Friday.

I am having my surgery with Dr. Davis on Jan 8th. My pre-op anesthesiologist appt. is today. I would love to hear more about how you guys are doing - so glad we are in this boat together and can share stories.

I actually pushed my stuff through with Tracy - I know she was ready to be done with me :-). I have had a great experience so far with the whole team.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
