Slim -

Another idea that I'm trying that I can suggest. Consider creating a video blog of your journey. Post it on Youtube and make it either public or private. Even if nobody else watches it you will always be able to go back and retrace the journey and maybe the little added focus on the journey itself will have keep you committed to the things you need to do to make the most of the surgery and the new lease on life.

If you want to see the videos I started you can see them at: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCBOYp0ZuHJHLoKhsJV3LLA/videos

Thanks GS. I will. How are you feeling? Care to share your stats?

I'm 41, started at 264. I'm 254 now, gained a pound! I'm 5,7. I'd like to be 160. :-)

I'm 38, 5'9. I started at 310, currently at 292 and hoping to get down to 180.

I've been feeling pretty good on the pre-op diet. The first few days were a little tough but then I was ok. I'm feeing better, sleeping better, and feeling less back pain. Today and yesterday were a little bit of a struggle -'I've been feeling kinda hungry and having to fight it off sucks.

I'm getting more and more excited for the surgery on Tuesday but at the same time wishing I was past it. I also with I never would have had to get to this point but that's understandable I guess.

How you feeling?

      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! 😞
