10 Days! it still doesn't feel real! I have been on the pre-op "optifast" liquid diet for 5 days now! Last night we went shopping for the post op liquid phase.. We read EVERY label that we put in our cart! If it didn't fit the guidelines we were given then it did NOT go in the cart. We read up on some mushy food items and found some surprising things that we WILL be able to eat and some that we won't be able to eat. Everything is getting real but it still hasn't hit my brain yet that after all the hoops we have had to jump through (including loosing 7 pounds during Christmas!) that is really is going to happen and NO one can stop it but me!

I have told my parents who are lap banded (one succeeded and one is not working at it) my boss, (my co-worker team just knows I am having surgery) and my 4 dearest friends. I got really good responses from EVERYONE! Some were a little hesitant since we had originally planned on the lap band but BMI's being what they are and having a great doctor who WANTS us to succeed we are now going to be sleevers! We are not telling the hubby's parents due to their response when we had just been "talking" about going to the seminar about WLS. The greatest response was from my boss. He just grinned and told me that what ever I time I need we will work it out and if I need anything to let him know!

My hubby and I have gotten to where we are together and we are going to get rid of it together! I am so thankful to have such an amazing support team sitting right next to me. I know I will never fail with him at my side!

      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.

      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! 😞
