Hi,

My friend and I are looking into going to dr Kelly as well. Can u keep me updated as to how it goes?!?!

Sure, from what I have read, heard and asked he sounds like a great surgeon that is very caring and compassionate. Lora his coordinator has been great in answering all of my questions and getting back to me quickly. With Dr. Kelly you don't pay a thing until you get there. I have started my pre-op diet already. He requires 1 week kind of Atkins style/low carb and 1 week full liquid. I did a few days low carb and am doing 2 weeks on full liquid just to make sure my liver is as small as it can get. I will let you know how it goes afterwards.

Newcocame,

I would like to make a suggestion , instead of telling yourself that your starving, tell your self something different like, today I am satisfied with what I am drinking. Or I am getting everything in need in my liquid diet. I know it sound a little " hippy Dippy" but it works. The more you express your "starvation" the more it is......

Good luck to you!

I returned home Friday night from San Diego. Yesterday was difficult practicing on taking small sips. Why is this such a challenge? Today I am missing my pool. What I wouldn't give to get into the Water. It looks so inviting today. My family is enjoying it, however. Took a small outing to do a bit of walking. I have to honestly say that I am feeling better little by little. Next time I go for an elective surgery, it will, in future, be AFTER the pool is closed down for the season.

      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! 😞
