After my first wls I can no longer eat Out of plastic containers it makes the food taste so nasty lmao I bought a ton of 3 oz rubber made things I now only use for the kids lol. I did go out and buy glass ones I use now your taste will change after keep that in mind.

I just got scheduled for May 15' date=' one day before my birthday ! I had to appeal my denial, but finally got approved. Super excited, but scared to death at the same time. I have a 2 yr old, and I keep thinking about the morbid things. I worry about the usual things: what if I don't live through surgery, have serious complications, etc. I have to remind myself that I am doing this so that he can have an active Mom who can play with him without having to stop every few feet. I want to be healthy ! I am excited for you guys too ! Keep me posted ![/quote']

My surgery is May 2nd. 2 days before my bday! :) Looks like we are getting the best Bday present ever this year!

I have done the pre-op once before let me give you some tricks and hint to make it a little easier on you ;)

1.Go out and buy a ninja or a bullet because you can make a snow cone and put Crystallight in it and eat it all day long it helps a lot with the need for Crunchy and chewing helps get Water in and Gives your mouth something to do ;)

2. Crystal light Popsicles!! Something you can have as many as you want easy to make ;). Take water crystal light and poor in Popsicle makers.

3. Hot Decaffeinated herbal tea and green tea. Helps with the hot late night snack and hot broth Swanson's chicken and beef is pretty good.

Hope that helps you guys a bit having done this once before its hard but yell if you need anything even I it's just to vent ;)

Very nice tips. Love the idea of crystal light pops. I will try all these absolutely! Thank you. :-).

      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... :(
