got the rest of my appointments set up today :) Surgeon says the process will take about 2 months. We'll see how it all goes. The losing of 10% body weight begins tomorrow.....low carb, higher Protein diet for now until I see the nutritionist in a few weeks :)

Not sure which part of MA you're from, but we have support groups that are scheduled by Tobey hospital (Wareham). They take place in several surrounding communities.

Hello law - sorry for the heck you've been going through. I hope you're feeling better soon! Did you already have a cold or something prior to surgery or came down with pnemonia because of the surgery?

Hey KB! I'm doing ok. I've seen the nutritionist and started the low carb, high Protein stuff...it's not easy but, I'm getting there. So only 9 days for you...wow! Do you have to do a pre-op diet?

Welcome JenniferD and Tammy...hope you're doing well.

I have 3 more requirements besides the losing 20 pounds to go. I have to attend a post-op meeting, doing that tomorrow...see the therapist, doing that Thursday and then another visit to the nutritionist that's next month. Then hopefully a date after that.

Thanks! It's the Losing part that's the hardest...isn't that why we're here in the first place. I know it's to prepare your liver for surgery...makes it easier to get it out of the way but, yeesh 20-24 pounds is alot. I'm trying though!

I'm going to try out the chat if anyone is interested :)

By the way I'm going through Tufts Medical Center's Weight and Wellness Center in Boston

      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?

      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
