I'm.doing good. Yes my soda melt down was hard :( my mind was going insane, but I got over it. Just preparing myself for my next one and how to over come it.

Oh my, I know how u feel! It is hard, the only way to make it easier is to just think of today. That's how I was able to get through the liquids stage. And the moment I didn't focus like that, I lost it.

Hang in there, it will be so worth it, I promise it will be. This is a big sacrifice to the awesome body and good health you will gain from it.

U got this! U can do it! Think happy thoughts, happy thoughts!!

If it helps... The main thing that made me Not cheat that first month was the fear of doing any physical damage to myself inside... Cause Mexico is far away and no one here knows anything about plication lol. Maybe that will help motivate? Just a suggestion on how I made it through hell month;)

As always thank you for the support. .from you both... I just wish I didn't have to do this shake only for the next week.. I think I am making it worse for me...I am feeling really weak...so I am laying around instead of making myself busy... I am just looking forward to going to bed everyday and work tomorrow. ... my day will go by faster then this weekend... I am just a mess...I never in a million years did I ever think I would miss chewing. ..? Or real food.... I thought I was stronger than this. My "cheats" have not been that bad. I have made eggs 2 times in the last 6 days. That was my big cheat. Feel very guily.... but not hungry. .I just want this week to go very fast....

On the flip side I have lost 6 pounds..

I am 239 today. MAYBE by next Monday I will be 9 pounds gone and go into this at 230.. I feel better now that I have "Vented"..I am Sorry I am being a big baby....

Not a big baby, and if that's the case I'm in the big baby club too lol

It is hard, I think its the hardest thing to do when your whole life y have been doing something else.

Yaaay for your lbs lost, use that as motivation for your daily intake.

Before u know it, the big day will come!

Stay strong and encouraged, you got this!!

Oops have different post op diets. After day four I could begin to add full liquids which included cream Soups, shakes, yogurt, sf puddings, broth, sf Popsicles and of course sf Jello. None of these hurt me at all I just couldn't eat much at a time. Love mush sp... So don't feel bad about your cheats... I think your diet is a tad strict . Not that I'm saying anything

Negative about it, just don't be hard on

Yourself! You guys are doing great!

I can't thank you two enough for taking the time to respond. .. I feel alone... because I dont know a soul that has ever had any wls... so when I have my thin mother telling me.. "just dont think about it" drives me crazy...... I dont understand why every doctor has different pre-op diets... mine.. is unfair. .lol. ... compared to everyone else... but I will keep on trucking. I added a picture so you can put a face to the tears...lol. I thought it would make me feel better.. NOT REALLY... tomorrow 7 days and counting....bare with me...

I completely agree with above! I didn't tell anyone but my husband so I felt

Like I was in this unknown hell and had no one to talk too or support me. I kept it secret so I had to hide my tears from those im closest to. So I am totally here for you too. Trust me when I say that I promise in a couple more weeks your hormones and body will balance out and all this emotional turmoil will be a distant memory replaced by excitement and positivity;)

      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... :(
