June 6th at 5:30am is when I will be at the hospital for my surgery. My doctor says it will take about an hour for the procedure. I will have to stay in the hospital for at least one night. My plans are to return to work the following Monday. This Pre-op diet really sucks! I am so hungry! I feel like I could eat an entire buffet bar! But I just keep my mind focused on my goals and how fabulous I will be after I loose all this weight!! I am super nervous, but I'm also very excited!! :)

Congrats and good luck. The pre-op diet get's better after a few days in. What kind of job? If a lot of standing and especially lifing may need a bit more time.

June 6 is my surgery date as well. I plan on taking the following week off and returning to work on Monday, June 18-- thankfully I have an office job so shouldn't be a problem.

I start my pre surgery liquid diet this upcoming Thursday & know its going to be tough but just telling myself that it's only for 2 weeks before & of course 2 weeks after... I can do anything for 4 weeks (I hope!! GULP). I am having some anxiety about the entire thing. I have never had surgery before so this is all foreign ground for me. But I know that this is what I need to do.

Best to luck to you in the upcoming weeks!!

      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! 😞
