Hello everyone, I am Dave, having VSG on Dec. 2 of this year. Nov 15th is my appt with the Bariatric team @ UPENN to begin the preop diet. I have already lost 19 lbs going into the last month. Starting weight 261 now 242. I am hoping to get some real life advise and a heads-up on things I can expect from this forum.

Welcome to the forum. We all try to help each other out around here. You might want to watch some of my videos. I started making them to answer the most frequently asked questions I see asked on the board.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
