Tomorrow I start the low carb until surgery date! I am so full right now and loving it. Excited to begin this next stage in my life. I was thinking 40 was old to get this surgery. Now I feel, it is just my beginning. Here's to a new start and healthy life!

Surgery 2/28 I am a little scared, but also excited. I was supposed to have the sleeve but my surgeon really feels RNY is much better as I have a hiatal hernia and Gerd.

Following my strict low carb diet. Constipated as heck! Ouch! Down 11 pounds with two weeks to go. Anticipating this surgery and praying for the best. I read some of the post op issues people have, and my fingers are crossed.

Hi Juliz 1972! I am all ready for my surgery! Date is this Friday and kinda nervous. Worried about my passion for food. I bought tons of the Atkins sweets and living off them :(. I have Clear Liquids the day before and that is it. I have gained tons of knowledge from this site and people sharing their experiences. You can email if you'd like. Cory1060@gmail.com. My name is Teri.

      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! 😞
