Started pre-op today, my bmi is 42 so they told me to do a 10 day preop. I am already dying.....this is HARD!!

Only being able to have a shake for Breakfast and lunch is harder than I thought.

it got easier for me after first couple of days, just tried to keep really busy and drink Water.< /p>

Who all is having surgery next week? I leave Sunday for surgery Monday and have been having anxiety attacks. I'm getting nervous, can't wait for the surgery to be over and to be back home. I know it'll be worth it in the end it's just the day prior to surgery and surgery day that make me the most nervous! What's everyone doing (or have done) to remain calm in those final days?

I leave Tues for surgery Wed. Im a wreck! My bf was too busy doing laundry to come help me do yard work & get my house ready, my other male friend was too hungover to help me & my gf keeps making jokes that hit me wrong & when I asked her to stop or tone them down because I'm extremely sensitive right now she got upset told me to not take it that way. So my support system is non-existent now. I feel like I'm in this alone..mom never even considered going with me. I guess if anything, I got God & you all! Hugs to those needing it right now!

Most of my friends and family are neutral but some feel it is their duty to inform me of their opinions. We are all here for you, girl.. Don't let them get you down.

      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.

      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! 😞
