I am new to this site but thought I would post. My surgery is booked for Feb. 4th as well. I am on the seventh day of a two week liquid diet. broth and Protein shakes! It does get easier after while. Still trying to get my head around not eating period. I go back and forth from scared to excited to let's get this over with already. Thinking this is fairly normal. I have lost 5 pounds a week in...I'll take it.

Me too! But I slipped today. I had a small salad with boiled shrimp on it. I'm supposed to be on my 2 week pre op diet but I couldn't stand it any longer. We were with a group of friends at the beach. I knew I shouldn't have gone into that restaurant! Damn! Well I have one more week to go. No more cheating!!!!

I wll be having surgery on the same day as you! All the best! Yes, the diet does get a little easier as you go. I'm starting to get really excited and a bit nervous. I will be getting my sleeve done in Tijuana. Where will you have your surgery?

      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... :(
