Welcome! i've learned so much here. So is a one cup diet eating no more than one cup of food per meal?

So how is everyone doing with their diet? The closer I get to April, the harder it is for me. I keep saying to myself, well, if I want that food one last time, I should have it now 'cause time is running out. I've been able to lose 20 lbs in the last four months from dieting, but I feel burned out and I'm getting sick of trying so hard all the time to restrain myself. I hope this constant struggle gets better after the surgery. Tell me how you're doing! :)

Yes one cup of food per meal no Snacks and just Water. It is tough, plus i work out five mornings a week. Hope they move me up fast. Would be nice to start losing faster. But i wont give up.

I have lost 40 so far pre-op. I am watching what I eat for the most part and having one Protein Shake in the morning. I usually dont eat Breakfast, but was told I should, so I think this is the perfect time for a shake. I am also eating things that I want "one last time" and dont feel bad about it. After having food be such a huge part of my life for so long, I dont want to regret the surgery because I am craving things. I have to keep this in check because I do have one more weigh in on the 27th and have a goal that I want to hit before then. I find it is getting easier for me to curb the cravings because I know the surgery is coming and I want to make sure that there is NO reason that the surgeon may decide to postpone it! I think the 20lbs you lost is great and I wouldnt stress so much about eating the things you want. Just watch it the rest of the day and get back on the wagon the next day! After surgery, we wont physically be able to eat so much, so I feel this will get better! Keep at it Wendilou!! :)

Can you guys help me. I am noticing that you guys have lost anywhere from 15-20 lbs before your surgery. I am having mine on April 18 and I need to loose weight. The dr hasn't made me feel like its mandatory I mean he said it would make his job easier and recovery would be better for me. So I want too I just don't know what to do! My family is not very motivating but hubby said he will start walking with me tonight. What should I eat to help me loose? CW 317 I would like to loose at least 18lbs before my surgery. HELP

Your doctor should be putting u on some type of liquid diet prior to surgery which will cause u to lose weight. Hope this helps!

      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... :(
