2 months left of my 6 months



Recommended Posts

It is where they put you out and go down your throat to make sure everything is okay and no surprises. My dr has to have one before he will do surgery

Oh they don't require that where I go. Although I had one a few years back so maybe that's why I don't need one. Not sure. I have to have an upper GI. Its tomorrow morning. I just have to swallow some goop. Hopefully I get the all clear. At the moment I just need to step away from the cinnamon toast crunch lol

I have an upper GI and 2 appointments to go. So I'm about 2 months out. However I need to lose 14 total and I'm only down 2.5. I'm down to 2 shakes and meal, nothing more and I workout 45min 5x a week. The scale won't budge. I started this in July but I've been trying to get back in the 220's for 2 years. I don't know what else to do. The pre op weight loss is all that's standing in my way. Congrays on the 15 lost, any tips?

Protein in first, keep carbs very low, no sugar, no soda, no bread, no Pasta, no rice..

You'll lose it very quickly.

I don't have to lose before surgery...but I've changed a few things on my own...cut out all the things I've listed..and have loss weight..

      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! 😞
