Hi everyone,

I'm new to this and surgery is around the corner!!!! I'm mostly excited but hoping it all works out! I did some pre- shopping to have things at home such as: Isopure drink and Protein shake... Jello , Popsicles , pudding, broth..... Any other suggestions??? I keep hearing egg whites...

I lived on Tomato Soup during the liquid stage. Not everyone's doctor allows it, so i would ask first. It was nice to have something with some taste. I am 3 weeks out, down 22 lbs since surgery and just cleared today for regular food after 2 weeks of puree. You'll do great. Good luck with the surgery.

I have had the burps today too and it freaked me out too. I do know it feels pretty amazing to be in my own bed tonight.

Judy you will be just fine. You will be a little bit sore however it isn't an unbearable pain. Let me know how everything goes after your surgery Monday please. I will be praying for you.

I'd be willing to be $100 that you didn't burst open your stomach. Smile, take a huge deep breath, and relax! You are fine :) Take it super easy and try not to worry too much...your on the other side now; enjoy it girlie!

Good luck!

      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... :(
