My calorie count is easy. 1 slimfast shake plus 4 glucerna shakes equals 900 cals and 70 g Protein. That's been my diet for 12 days now :-(

That's where we differ. I didn't have to do a liquid diet before my VSG. I was put on a 1200 cal for the prior 2 weeks.

Oh gosh' date=' to not be hungry at all! Day 12 of preop liquid diet and Im starving!! Do you all think preop is the hardest part?[/quote']

Yes pre op was harder for me plus my husband and four kids were always eating around me. They would say things like ill go in there but I said no I have to get use to this. Well after surgery I'm not hungry at all. I get can get in all my liquids and what not but never really hungry.

One of the great things about God is that He knows intimately how to walk alone down a road where he is beaten, ridiculed, and ashamed. He will NEVER EVER let you suffer alone.

I'm praying that you see Him coming from the people around you. Every whisper of encouragement, every kind touch, every nurturing presence is His love for you, His child.

he and I are well acquainted. I will be praying for you with everything I have. I have my surgery the same day you do. If you want someone to call, feel free to IM me for my number.[/quote']

Thank you Kyeta96. For a couple of weeks now I've been scared & upset I have to take this journey alone. I was very concerned with recovering home alone. I'm prepared & I have everything I will need but it still doesn't remove the fear. I know God is taking this journey with me.

I promise you.... I just did this journey.... Let go and put your trust in god and prepare, expand your knowledge, it's much easier than we expect, especially when you have knowledge on your side!! You will do great!

Only positive thoughts!

      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! 😞
