Hello, everyone! Is anyone else eating EVERYTHING in sight??? My doc said I don't need a pre-op diet, but he might just change his mind when I see him for my pre-op visit on the 27th. I'm just so bloated from overrating... Between the up coming surgery and school starting, anxiety has gotten the best of me :/

Tell me about it, I sometimes stop and try to think of what I can eat now that I won't be able to for a long time :rolleyes:

BTW, today I went for my chest X-Ray, blood work (11 tubes :wacko:), and EKG, then abd. US on the 17th and I'm all done with my pre-op testing. Soooo excited!!!!! :lol:

My surgical group has you go on a pre-op diet to lose 5-10% of total body weight, to show that you are dedicated to making the post-op changes required for long term success. Also they have told us (my sister-in-law) and I are making this journey together) if we gain any before surgery, we are OUT! :(

I had to do a 2 week liquid diet before my band was put in too' date=' but no diet for the bypass, so I just eat :/[/quote']

I know there are several things I would love to have before surgery but with my NUT being so strict I don't wanna risk surgery being cancelled :(

Believe me, I would go on a Water diet if I had to! This surgery will be a blessing in our lives, nothing is worth it getting cancelled :)

      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!!

      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?

      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... :(
