Whos in September? We need some September buddies!



Recommended Posts

I'm from Elko, Nevada. Since we live in the middle of nowhere, I have to travel nearly 4 hours to get to the doctor. We have to get a hotel for a few nights. I'm nervous about the drive home and how I'll be feeling, but I know I can do this!!

Does anyone else have a pre-surgery liquid diet? The liquid diet starts August 27th and I think I am more nervous about the 2 weeks of liquid than I am about the surgery!!!

Glad its not just me Lucky! The liquid diet is supposed to be 3-4 Protein Shakes per day and unlimited clear, sugar free and low calorie liquids. I am a SAHM and take care of my husband and 3 kids daily. I don't want to make it harder then it needs to be but I also keep trying to remind myself that 2 weeks is a short period of time compared t the rest of my life. Deep breath.....

Hi Jo

My preop diet consists of 2 Protein Shakes, Breakfast and lunch and then a salad with Protein at supper. Does not sound like enough to fill me up and I am nervous about my weak willpower.

My pre op diet is only 2 days of Clear Liquids, I was surprised when my Dr told me this I was expecting 2 weeks, I may do a few extra days just to jump start it.

      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.

        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
