Hello,

I'm new to this site. Everything I've been reading has been helpful and informative. I have a weigh in on Monday and I'm nervous. It determines if I can start my two week liquid diet. I've been eating right and replacing Protein shakes for Breakfast and sometimes lunch. 'Ive been trying my best but is became hard around the two major holidays. I was beating myself up really bad because I really need this surgery. I have a heart condition, that is rare, because they only find it in people in their 60s and up. If I'm not at 425, I think I might be on the brink of giving up. I have so much life to live and so much love to give, its not even funny. I have a wonderful support system and a marvelous boyfriend who supports me wholeheartedly. I dont know what I'm going to do if I'm not nowhere where I'm suppose to be.I don't know anyone personally that has gone through this, is there any advice that anyone can give me. Thank you in advance!

Hi I am new here too! Think positive thoughts for your weigh in. I know it is easier said than done but it sounds like you have been working hard to achieve your goal. The diet with Protein shakes as Meal Replacements is very challenging especially round this time of year. I am going through that this week as my pre-op and I know it is not easy. Sending positive vibes your way for a successful weigh-in. Here for you if you need to chat.

Your health problems worsen as you get older, like me and my husband. Life has been downhill but I am happy to say we have been sleeved and no more sitting around being depressed. Best of luck!!!!!

      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... :(
