surgery tomorrow, spent all day today at my pre op and registration at hospital. Nervous and excited, getting ready to drink the mag citrate and have a Protein Shake. I am on liquids today. No 2 week preop diet for me. Good luck everyone!

Well .. I have now crossed to the other side .. The losers bench!!!! Got my sleeve yesterday, the doctor also repaired a hernia I didn't know I had. Minimal discomfort. Knock on wood.

4 weeks out today and feeling great! :) A rough first week, but after that it has been an overall good process :)

Good luck, your surgery date will creep up on you much faster than you think!!!

Curious how much weight every one has lost this month? I lost 17 lbs. I had lost 20 but 3 lbs came back the beginning of week three and now I am stuck at the same weight week 3 and 4.

I started yesterday trying to eat every three hours to get more in and to keep my metabolism up. Focusing on the Protein and fluids. I did see the scal move from 261 to 260.4 so maybe that is going to help me get going again.

I used Dr. Borland for my sleeve on 12/5/12. I absolutely love my sleeve and Dr. Borland. I have had no problems, minimal discomfort and at 4 weeks out I have lost 22 pounds.

I am now on regular food (of course much smaller portions). Last night for supper I had pan seared catfish, topped with pan seared shrimp along with steamed squash and zucchini. Yum!

      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! 😞
