I feel ya! I am planning on going February 17 to dr Garcia. I'm so excited!

It's aprox 2 months still, and I've been planning this since October. That's really flown, and I can barely believe another Christmas has passed, so I have faith that this can fly too!!

Is anybody stocking anything special for their surgerys yet? I have unjury' date=' Syntrax, Jello, better than bullion, B12 and liquid vites ready to go.[/quote']

Good question! This probably deserves it's own thread! I feel so unprepared because I'm still just ordering samples so far. (I think I'll start a new thread to talk about this if you don't mind)

Sure. There are alot of older threads about post surgery preparations. Of course, much depends on your docs program. Ill be coming home on liquids, my mom came home with a green flag. Anything she could handle. Here are my preps so far:

Syntrax samples(protein)

Unjury chicken Protein

Matrix and Oh yeah and Musclemilk light(meal replacements)

Syntrax unflavoured

Anywhey unflavored

Better than bullion (chicken)

Vegetable broth

Digital food scales

blender

Torrani SF Syrup

Miralax

Liquid vite, B12 sublingual, liquid Calcium and D3.

GasX

I froze some homemade broths and chili when I had leftovers.

It sounds like alot, but I haven't stocked heavy in these things. Just to get me started that first couple weeks. Hard to know what u will tolerate after surgery so no point in wasting too much $.

      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... :(
