I cant believe surgery is almost here...It has yet to sink in...I mean REALLY sink in! I was doing well with my diet for the past few months, even lost 20 lbs! I weighed myself on Friday morning and I was still at 219, but I did some indulging Friday night and this weekend....so I hope I don't gain very much :unsure: I really wanted some chicken wings, but then my mom mentioned bbq (which is one of my favorite things) so hubby and I went out to get ribs and fried pickles at our favorite place. Yesterday wasn't that bad...Had some low fat french toast from trader joes and an orange for Breakfast, a Protein Shake for lunch and some thai take out for dinner (from our most favorite place!) but I didn't get a fried dish...this morning I had a couple blueberry pancakes with sugar free Syrup, turkey sausage and one egg. Lunch will also be on the light side since I am at work (I work with prader willi individuals on a strict diet so everything at work is pretty healthy to eat) but this evening one of my girlfriends is coming over for dinner and I'm thinking we will be ordering pizza....

I feel like I should be saying goodbye to all my favorite foods, but I also don't want to sabotage myself. Thats the old me...self sabotaging me. I want to succeed! So needless to say, I am REALLY looking forward to Wednesday! Ive even started to get my hospital bag together! I am super scared, but that nervousness has been slowly going away....I am more excited for the first day of the rest of my life to start!!! :D

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
