I am from CT & scheduled for a sleeve with Dr. McMillan this Thursday at St Raphael's. I had to do the ketosis & it was the worst. I lost 12lbs in 5 days. I am now on my 1000 calorie a day per-op diet. I am nervous, excited & anxious.

I did not have to do ketosis. I am a week away from surgery and doing a low cal diet. Sooo excited and yet nervous. I went for pre op tests today and my pulse was racing. Nurse kept asking if I was ok. God I hope I am not like that on surgery day.

Just wondering, if anyone is within 30 minutes or so, I would live to have s buddy to Celebrate our milestones. Maybe pedicure at 3 month or something like that. It would be nice to get together with someone that can relate

I fear that may have come out wrong I feel like I should explain. I LOVE Griffin hospital. That's the only downfall of getting the surgery done at Rays. I had attended his seminar at St. Vincent's and personally having a medical background I did not feel comfortable with the answers I was getting. I was referred to my doctor by several people that used him in the past. I didn't mean to sound nasty I hope I didn't come across that way. And hey we will hopefully be around the same time having surgery so we could go through together :)

      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! 😞
