liquid diet? You got this! I used eas advantage shakes, which gave me 7 shakes a day. I was lucky enough to be able to choose from several options, and these worked best for me. I was able to have a shake every 2 hours, so I was never hungry, and I lost over 20 lbs. and really shrunk my liver.

Karlam,

glad to hear from you! dont worry about the consults, it took me 9 months to get through the SLoad of tests they hsd me go through but im glad it took that long ! it gave me the chance to start changing thing so by the time surgery i was mentally amd physically ready for the journey. i discovered theain reason for my eating was boredom. i wasnt challanging my self..... set goals. plan things. get oit be social. evem if it taking a walk ....just get off the couch and into the game!!!"

my post surgery experiemce is the thing movies are made from. i see and feel the changes daily. i have not been this excited and happy with life. i meet with a personal trainer on wendsday im going to hire him for 6 months to help me set a healthy exercise routine that i can fit into my schedule and try to tone to minimize the dreaded SAG

if i can be of any help with the pre op jitters ask! oh 2 things

1) try not weigh yoursef 2 much some people dont understand daily weight fluxs between 2 - 3 pounds daily. just work the program and hit your numbers,exercise. and your body will take care of the rest.

2). Stalls happen!they always will! the body is a wonderful self correcting machine, it knows you have changed something and will fight had to hold onto ots gat supply.so change up your routine evety couple of weeks. if you walking? try a light gym work out ( when your surgeon clears you). do some light cardio . ever minute afer 30 minutes is time you are burning fat.

let me know how thing progress. im excited you are on your way . its soooooo diffrent on this side....in a very very good way :-)

I do think there's wisdom in a slow pre-op process to get mentally prepared. My process only took four months, and it was a lot of info to process, and not a lot of time to make pre- op lifestyle changes. It was fine, but more time would have been fine, too.

      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... :(
