It's okay.. me too. April seems sooooooo far away. I'm hoping that May will remain my scheduled surgery day...

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

I'm scheduled for May 6th.. and my consult is set for April 16th 2013. The surgical coordinator told me my diet forms weren't filled out correctly so she advised me to start over to assure everything was documented right...that set me back a whole month. Instead of being finish with my diet early April I will be done early May... I don't know if they'll allow me to go ahead and show up for consult that scheduled day or if they will push the date back to allow me to completely finish then come for consult in May... It sucks so frikken bad that I have to be above 40 at consult... I wish I could weight in then do the diet... nerve wrecking.

I've been battling weight for a number of years.. however my doctors didn't go into detail in their doctors notes about my weight loss attempts and treatment options .....and they also weren't consecutive on top of all that. They want 6 months of an attempted/ and failed supervised diet... once they have evidence of that they will consider approval... and of course must be 40 or above at consult or there wont be a party going on. lol

The Lord has his way of doing things, and when he does,it will be done right... We must practice patience...that's all.

      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

      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... :(
