Just wanted to say I haven't forgot about you all. I have company over this weekend until tomorrow and it makes it hard to do the calendar stuff. Good luck to those having surgery today: janifer's hubby, rnjsnana & mychoice2lose.

Janifer - I wanted to answer your message personally however, this darn new system says I'm not allowed to. How frustrating! Anyway - I am SO glad to hear you and your husband are doing well! I'm halfway through my pre-op diet. I'm 9 days away from surgery. I cannot believe it! How did you get to go home so fast? I thought my hospital was great with a 2 day stay!!

And my day is 11/26. Today is my 3rd day on preop diet and OMG!! It's a beast! I'm hungry and I just feel kinda out of it...had to take a day off from work to try and get the hang of this. I keep telling myself that this is a speed bump and once I get used to this, it'll be surgery day before I know it!! ????

The first 3 days of the diet are really hard. But, by day 4 it gets better. I'm halfway through and now I barely feel hungry and I'm just around 800-1100 cals per day. Anybody who says fat people don't have willpower is wrong! Lol you got this!!!

Oh and what I have found works for me is Twinings Purely Peppermint Naturally Decaf. I do a cup every afternoon and evening. It's really yummy! And peppermint is a natural appetite suppressant!

Wow we're all so close in our dates! I haven't started a pre op diet/liquid diet yet... Haven't been told to do so. My pre surgery testing and nutrition class is on Monday, exactly a wk b4 my surgery. I think I start then... I wonder why some ppl have 2wk pre op diets, some have 1 wk diets & some don't diet at all.

      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

      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... :(
