Hey everyone,

Hope all is well and your progresses are moving forward. :)

So, today I go see my surgeon for my pre op visit. I get my 1000 cal diet at this time and start it on Monday. I am getting anxious and giddy! :wacko: I have yet to find a Protein Drink that I like, they all taste blah and coat my tongue.. weird! Suggestions?

I am 41 Start weight in May 288 lbs currently 272 lbs.

I'm concerned to join the Facebook page as I'm not posting anything about surgery on my Facebook. Will any of my friends see what I'm doing? Perhaps I need to create another account for just us.

Will be by invitation only. I will set it up so only the ones who want to join will know anything that is going on with you. If anyone else has that concern we can just keep it here.

I can have 4 bottles of Ensure plus three cups of skim milk per day... Not sure how it will be but will keep you posted :)

Lucky you, I get to drink 4-5 instant s/f Breakfast drinks with Water a day for two weeks. I was told I could take in 1 8oz serving of fat free milk a day. Lord give me patience and let my family still love me when I am through this..lol

your suggestion of creating another account is probably the best way to go. under all the FB rules in explainatiion is very vague as to who can see it. Better safe than sorry!

      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.

      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! 😞
