It will be hard, very hard but at least i know that something good is coming... cant wait to loose those lb's... thinking abt loosing/being healthy, makes it much easier for me not to cheat.

My gas pains and hunger have gotten so much better. I switched to spiru-tein Protein Shakes. Less Fiber, more Protein. The cookie dough flavor is so good.

Feeling depressed just left my doctors office for my last visit he told me I had to lose 50 pounds before he would do the operation

Wow.... Was that not something they addressed early on? I had to loose 5#, but had 6 mo notice (and waited til the last week, of course) I know there was a girl through my surgeon who had to loose 50-60 but had the same amt of notice. Hang in there. Frustrating but your time will come!

Well, tomorrow is the big day and I get to be the first patient of the day for my Dr. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30am. I am so ready to start this new chapter of life. Yes there has been nerves and second guessing but in the end, I know I am making the right choice. I have lost around 23 pounds during my pre op diet and I am slowly starting to feel a difference already. All my chores are done, yard is mowed and I have made arrangements for someone to mow for me next week. Now it is time to sit back, relax, enjoy some lime Jello, chicken broth and Water (I am on Clear Liquids only today), and get ready. Good luck to all my August 19th surgery mates! I hope and pray that we all have flawless procedures followed by minimal pain and discomfort! Speedy recovery to everyone. Now bring it on!!!

      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! 😞
