well, I did get in 64oz of Water yesterday and it really was a job for me to do this. I even had a diet coke and then remembered no soda. I am a person that has at least 2 to 3 diet sodas a day and it is really going to be hard to give up ( I just like the bubbles I guess). When I think about it maybe it is a good idea to give up soda, old habits are hard to break but if diet soda is off the list of drinks after surgery then it will be gone. Just don't want any tummy problems.

I dont know if any of you are flying any long distances, but I ordered some protien drinks in small plastic bottles where you just add Water and shake. I thought it would be handy for the plane. Then just throw away when finished.

So my name is Jana and I guess I will be kicking off the month for us. Was scheduled for Feb 28 but set for March 1 now. Started my 20 day preop diet yesterday--protien drinks, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, broth, SF Jello and popsicles. Not a plain yogurt person, but I got one down today. Yesterday was tough, but today was a little better minus the headache. Counting those bad boys down...18 more to go!

I'm flying in at noon and have surgery that afternoon. Thinking I should have rethought the whole travel and surgery in one day lol.

Well March sleevers, time is marching on it is already February 11th and I am now 4 weeks away from my surgery March 11. I went to my family doctor this morning and had my blood work completed and on Thursday will be going for my chest x-ray. I will start my pre-op liver detox on Feb 15th so things are moving along. I need to go grocery shopping sometime this week to get all the legal foods in for my detox. I hope everyone else is doing fine today, have a great week.

      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... :(
