No specific weight given. At a support group meeting, the Nut said that they don't focus on specific weight goals, but rather quality of life goals like less meds, co-morbidities, etc.

Pretty bummed right now. I've had a very itchy rash all over my body for about 3 weeks. I've had two docs say it's prob from the Vitamins I'm taking for the surgery. Got a biopsy on it today and will get those results in a week. Have to stop all vitamins and call my surgeon tomorrow to tell them what's going on. I have a feeling this will delay my surgery. I'm very bummed right now :(

Hate to hear that! Do they think it's the brand of vitamins?

I share your feeling right now. Found out today my blood work came back positive for H. Pylori :(

Which means 2 weeks of aggressive antibiotics, then waiting 4 weeks to retest. Tomorrow I'll be doing a stool test to see if it's an active infection or an old one (any kind would show in blood). So I'm just praying it's not active and I can proceed with surgery. If not I'll be getting a November date :(

I have my pre-surgery Dr. appointment tomorrow and start my 2-week liquid diet Tuesday, 10/1. I've tried samples of a few Protein drinks and so far I don't like the Syntrax Nectar drinks. I do like the Unjury powder drinks, Healthwise fruit Drink powder in pineapple and Isopure Zero Carb ready to drink ones. If you like coconut, the Isopure RTD coconut is good. Not too sweet. A lot of the powder drinks are too sweet for my taste. I do better with fruit based drinks. What protein drinks have you tried and liked or hated?

kkelly37, you are so funny! I could hang with you! When I told my boss about my plans for surgery, she just told me I should do a diet and exercise program instead of having surgery. I really understand your feelings about being around other people and don't feel like you are worthy because of your weight! Its gonna change with this fat, are you pregnant, just diet and exercise GIRL!

I have only told one person at work. Not including my gastroentorologist. I don't want to listen to anyone's bullcrap about just diet and exercise.

I like all of the Bariatric Advantage flavors and also like the Unjury as well. I did purchase the Syntrax nectar flavor free to add additional protein to Soups and juices.

      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?

      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
