Yes, I'm counting the days too! I only have 27 days left to go! I feel like I'm pretty relaxed about the surgery, but a part of me must be nervous because I keep having food night mares... Last night, I dreamed I was eating a big huge sub. About half way through I remembered that I was just sleeved and was supposed to be on a liquid diet... and I started freaking out.. And a few nights ago I dreamed I was in the hospital and I pulled fried chicken from inside my pillow case and started eating it... then I had to go for a leak test and I was trying to stall the doctor because I didn't want him to see the fried chicken in my belly.

Ya. I'm trying to play it cool but the dreams don't lie!

25 days for me now! I've been one week with not a drop of diet coke (or any soda). Huge huge deal for me. Im very proud of myself for that, I gotta say. I decided to quit the soda before my pre op diet. Everything at once may be too overwhelming. 5'5" @ 250 28 yrs old. I want to say to everyone worried about the pre op diet and those who wonder why its necessary...idk if your doc told you but the diet is necessary to shrink your liver. The liver in someone who over eats and eats BADLY is very large and fatty, and its in the way for surgery. It bleeds very easily and the surgeon doesn't want any risk of nicking it. You could bleed to death! Please take the pre op diet seriously. If you go for surgery they'll know if your liver has shrank or if its still (obviously) in the way and fatty. They could send you right back home. For those of us going to mexico self pay, tht would REALLY suck. Just something to picture in your head when you're on pre op diet and you feel like cheating.

      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! 😞
