Next step going back to the nutritionist next week after a month of pre op dieting. I've lost all of 2 lbs :(. I'm lost bc it's discouraging with only losing such little weight. Anyone know what the steps are after meeting with the biaritrac nurse? Wondering what my time line is to get this ish done! Also they haven't even started the process with my insurance though I don't think I will have a prob I only need to obtain a PA and already saw my Pcp and received referrals

Your looking at it in the wrong way.. two pounds gone is still two pounds gone.. it's a win.. you have to start taking the small wins and relize that they are still wins in the end.. as for the timeline.. I'm not sure.. I'm still pre-op myself.. guess I just wanted to chime in and say congrats on the two pounds!!

Sometimes its easier to lose when your BMI is higher. I have lost 6lbs and I am on day 4 of my two week pre-op diet. I started in May and got appoved in July. I only had to have 3 visits with my NUT and 2 surgeon consults. All tests and labs done in between. Scheduled for July 29th. They prob won't submit till you are close to your last NUT visit. At least mines didn't.

I have had my phyc eval, and my upper GI. The last two things that I have to do is meet my surgeon (I go on August 1st..) and then get my EKG done.. then hopefully I will have a surgery date.. ** fingers and toes crossed**

Is there a minimum amount of weigh You have to loss during pre-op. cause I am slowly dropping and may only lose 8-10 pound before surgery. I hope that won't be a factor.

      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! 😞
