We are one month away!! How exciting!!

What are you doing to get ready? Have you tried the Protein Drinks yet? The Vitamins?

So far so good for me, though I have the chewable Calcium pills that are huge!!

I also worked on refinishing my craft desk so I will have a place to work while recovering!

I am having my surgery on August 6th, I have purchased my Vitamins and Protein drinks, but they told me to wait until after my surgery to start them. I am so excited, but so nervous at the same time. My family are big Italian eaters, so they are not taking my surgery very well. To them I do not look overweight, I wear it well. But i am 5'2 and 204 pounds in a size 14, with high BP, high cholesterol, and now after my first sleep study sleep apnea. I need to go back for a second study and wear a CPAP 2 weeks before surgery, oh joy :angry:

      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! 😞
