My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow. Can't believe this day is finally here. Scared and nervous, but excited at the same time! Didn't have to do a liquid diet at all, except for the day before surgery which is today! So said my last good bye to my favorite dish last night.

Good luck to all the others who are in the same boat as me. Can't wait to start loosing now!

I need to pick up Protein Shakes as well however my dr only has us use it for 2 weeks after surgery and that is only if we can tolerate it. He said its better to stay hydrated the first couple of weeks than to try to tolerate something and get sick. If you want the names of the ones my surgeon suggested let me know :)

svhonda,

I suggest you try Premier Protein sold at Sam's Club. I started my pre-op Protein schedule a few days ago and I actually like them. No problem getting them down. I bought vanilla and chocolate and both are good. Your taste may vary so don't get too much at once.

I use Garden of Life Raw Protein and Raw Meal normally. I have been experimenting with other brands but none of them stack up to the quality or price.

      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... :(
