Write down how you feel and why you are doing this. You may need it for reflection during the harder times. Take a lot of before pictures - especially day of surgery. Invest in heating pads, gas x - types of medication (baby drops), and try to join a local WLS support group.

I'm sure you can find them somewhere else but costco is the cheapest :) I've been on pureed food for over a week now. I'm in transition to soft foods now. I haven't had any problems getting Water or Protein in. I've been lucky that way. I am getting sick of drinking all day long when I'm not thirsty though!

Hey!! I watched ur latest video (5 week update). What foods r u eating now? And thanks for the Isopure idea. I keep hearing how awful Isopure tastes so I had not planned on trying it; but I liked the Apple Melon one. And it's sooooo nice to have a break from milky Protein drinks!!!! They r just so darn expensive BUT post op I guess it may not be so bad since I can't drink as much and as fast as I can now.

I'm not really nervous surprisingly enough. More nervous that I'm going to forget to do something before surgery. Last night I had a dream I forgot not to eat the morning of surgery and I had a full Breakfast. LOL. I'll keep u all posted on how it all goes. I know it will be fine too! Thanks LB!!!

I had my surgery 1 year ago! It started off very rocky and I have to exercise and work on Protein and Water. I put up before and after pictures on the main page.

      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... :(
