Awwww u have a lot going on at once!! Hard to deal with the emotional part of it for sure. I feel the same way u do. I start my liquid diet next Friday and I keep thinking wow I only have 6 more days to enjoy good food and alcohol!!! Going out to eat tonight and then having a party tomorrow night. It's sad :(. BUT it will all be worth it!! Just keep telling yourself that! You will be healthy and feel so much better!! I'm sweating my ass off at work today cuz I've been running all over the place (I am a Secretary for 4 diff departments). I can't wait not to sweat so much!! It's embarrassing!!!! My hair is drenched :(

i feel for you with the sweating thing...im doing the same thing! its so gross! and my breathing...i feel like a porn star volunteering at my kids' school. LOL!

How is pre-op diet for everyone going? Mine doesn't start till the 9th....I'm a little nervous, I'm not great at telling myself no, lol

i have not figured out the multi quote thing yet...sorry for all the responses! i just wanted to tell you that i did the liquid diet 5 years ago...and i never thought i could do it! but you will. and you really aren't hungry...it shows you the difference between what they call head hunger and real hunger. the Protein Shakes make you full...but you want to just eat everything in the house! LOL! you can do it! just post here when you think you cant. :)

After tomorrow I start my Clear Liquids for my surgery Wed. I am getting emotional thinking about all the foods I can not eat anymore. Seems like I am going through a grief process.

My pre op diet is shake for breakfast, shake for lunch, green salad with fat free dressing and a lean solid Protein i.e. chicken breast, steak, and another shake after dinner if needed. Any sugar free fluids in addition are fine. This is just what my dr. wants me to do.

My pre-op is exactly the same- for two weeks. I start Monday. I went and bought a bunch of Lean Cuisine meals for dinners this couple of weeks. Praying for self control. :)

So to those who have already been through surgery how much have your tastes changed afterwards I have been getting sample Protein powders and different things to try but was told not to stalk up till I found out what I liked after and what I could handle.... Just wondering if anyone's had drastic changes or just minor ones?

      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... :(
