I am new to VST. On Wednesday, March 13, 2013, I finished my 6mos monitoring. On Thursday, I got a call saying I was approved for surgery. The nutritionist will not be back til two weeks so my pre op is scheduled for April 4. The nurse said my surgery should be scheduled the end of April. 2 years ago, my hubby got the lap band . He has lost 100 lbs. I am excited, but I am also so nervous. I started at 336 lbs now I'm at 316 lbs. Really excited about my weight loss. Think I am gonna start trying to do 2 days a week liquid diet before my pre op.

I lost 5lbs by just doing liquids for Breakfast and dinner. Then I ate a regular lunch. The Protein shakes really keep me full. I ended up going for 3 days straight liquids and still doing 2 meals liquid.. I was using the GNC vanilla flavor and was mixing a dash of OJ, milk, and ice. Not bad at all.

My pre op is Wed April 3rd at 1pm. I'm excited!!

That really good. I tried liquids for Breakfast and lunch couple of days , using slim fast shakes and maxi milk I was surprised that they actually kept me satisfied. I'm not too afraid of doing it for 2 weeks straight now. I have been treating myself to all the food I can't eat post op. Started full liquid diet on 11 April, pre open on 22 April, and surgery 25 April.... can't wait!!!!

thats great news. not long now. when do you officially start ur liquid die

I have to start on April 19th. But when I went to my preop, the nutritionist is gonna let me be on a 1000 calorie diet instead of full liguid diets'. I can have two Protein shakes and one lean cuisine meal each day. Just bought some sugar free pops and they are really good.

      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! 😞
