Melissa- good luck

Maria- always nice to hear the insides are looooking good (i am saying that with Rocardo montebans voice)

jess929 keep breathing you are doing great, glad they changed your meds.

jessica(janelane) you look so nice in the pic if a bit scared/nervous by the time you read this it will be all done! yeah!

Lailani I thought I had written your name in on the list now that I see it again i remember commenting that I thought it was a very pretty name hmmmmm have to go fix that! and make the new post ops red.

Ramona- i have tried a couple protien drinks and I like Unjury all the flavors vanilla strawberry and choc. I mix half a scoop of strawberry witht he scoop or scoop and a half of choc for an awesome shake. I have seen people recommend limited purchases because our taste buds change after surgery. so get a few to try but don;t invest in big quantities until after. I also tried banana myfusion and that was very good.

Pebbles- YOU GO GIRL YOU ARE SUCH A "LOSER" YEAH!keep it up

your sense of humor is AWESOME!! I see you are a RN in the and L&D ? so it has to be..lol, i worked in the ER for 4 years, oh boy... they are in for a treat, when i go in for surgery, I told the Dr, please place the foley after im a sleep and call up to L&D for some Lidojet for when you take it out, I also want a fill and flow, before they remove it as i DO NOT want to go into urinary retention.. god help me..(also did 4 years in urology). thanks for cheering everyone on as they go to and come out of surgery.. :P

Has anybody found a Protein Shake that they really like? I've only tried carnations instant and it was pretty good but I wanted to try others. Thanks

My Mom went to the GNC store and brought a TOTAL LEAN shake vanilla bean flavor. It has a fantastic taste. It has 25 grams of Protein. To me it tastes like an ice cream shake.

My thoughts and prayers for you and your daughter.my first husband was a ff and did search and recovery that day and the many days that followed..my heart goes out to you and yours on this day..

Thanks, your words are so kind..your husband is an Angel. My daughter was only 8 when it happened. I hated the phone calls when they kept finding his remains. Each call was a healed wound opened all over again.I want this depressing day to be over and start a new one tomorrow.

I'm grew up in Manhattan. My brother went through the World Trade Center almost every day to work. I can't imagine having been there that day...

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
